What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Picked up a Truefitt&Hill gift set for 30-something-dollars.

The brush is labelled "Mini Super Badger Hair Brush Ivory" and has a SKU of 10001.
The soap is their 1805 shaving cream. The seller mentioned that it appeared half-used but after further inquiry it appears that it might also be unused. Will see when it gets here.
The brush holder is labelled "Bath and shower shaving brush stand"

I wasn't able to find the exact gift box online but still feel it was a decent price.
Also, never tried any of their products so that'll be fun.

 

I've wanted to try Dr. Jon's soap for quite some time, so I ordered a tin of Aphrodite shaving soap. I've read nothing but good things.

 

I snagged my white whale last night. Waiting on a Rubberset 400 #4 to restore. This will complete the 400 trilogy for me and put my Brush Acquisition Disorder into remission for the time being.

 

were you the one who got that one on ebay for less than $100? with the cut short knot?

 

Yes it was me. I was ready to go higher but lucked out.

 

I watched it but it left my bank accounts ability to keep up yesterday afternoon. I still think I'll wait on a good clone or get one in the wild. I live close to the brushmeister @Jayaruh so I'll need to beat him to it if one can be found locally.

 

Congrats Clint - finally a #4!

 

Thank you. I am pretty excited about getting it. Now I'll have to agonize over what knot to install but at least that's an easier problem to solve.

 

Original look was boar right? Longish with an almost flat top?

 

I think so. I have one that I used an Omega Boar knot to restore. Given what these handles cost, I am pretty sure I will use a very nice badger knot.

 

I haven't found a badger I have liked yet. Boar is my favorite. In the poor rodents defense I have only used 2 badger brushes. I'm found of the unlovable Gen 1 synthetic too.

 

Just ordered some RazoRock La Famiglia soap. Also picked up this Treet SE, just because I liked the look.

 

that looks like a very nice razor for $1

 

Picked up a lot of four old brushes (the travel brush in front is not included), going to give me some projects to work on over the next few months:

 

I love the little one, black-and-orange, second from left. Let me know if you find you don't like it

 

Wow what a nice razor that is! Good score!

 

Yes indeed!

I'm waiting on a Single Edge stainless injector, should be here March of 2016. Only a couple of days.

 

Yeah, that's a cute little bugger, isn't it?

I bought these pair of Swedish pieces of shaving iron from a fellow forum member for a real good price...He bought them in Sweden at the Factory Museum and he has been using them until a year ago....I have just jumped into another Rabbit Hole...Don't know what models they are at this time...Will have to do some research after I get them...Delighted....
