I like the Musk, but can't stand the look of the bottle. I acquired a gift set version bottle to put my OS Musk in. Looks like this: It's not labelled aftershave, but I'm past quibbling over minor things like that.
It has arrived. Omg @gssixgun is amazing. Custom turned birdseye maple handle with 24mm silvertip badger knot, and a Wade & Butcher near wedge with birdseye maple scales, brass pins and Amber wedge. I gave him free reign on this project because I couldn't make up my mind. Wow is all I can say
Waiting for a new nib for my sheaffer prelude to arrive. Dropped the pen and bent the old one so now I wait.
I am waiting on a silver tip badger knot from WD. In the past it has taken 10 days or more to get here from Texas. If this expected delivery date holds, it will be a record trip. It looks good because it went from Arlington to Fort Worth skipping the Black Hole of Coppell. However, I will not be holding my breath.
I'm waiting on a Thiers Issard Evide Sonnant Extra and a stropping board. My first attempt at a straight.
My favorite boar brush.^^^ If you end up liking it, but want one with a bit more backbone, the 620 is pretty much the same brush with a shorter loft and a touch more scritch.
Great to hear, and good to know about the 620- I'm mostly bowl lathering so I guess I think the taller loft is better, but really too new to know. Thanks
Picked up three things from a seller on eBay this week. 1) A Truefitt and Hill cartridge razor (I believe it's a Mach3?), 2) A Crabtree and Evelyn cartridge razor (I believe also Mach3 (I really need to figure that out so I can get some cartridges for these guys...), and 3) An Art of Shaving "Genuine Badger" brush. I'm guessing "Genuine" in this case is "Pure". I rather like the handle. Total cost for all items was 30-something dollars which I think was fair ($24 for the T&H and $10 for the C&E razor and AoS brush)
Needless to say I coudn't resist. Hey, under $20 for a nice heavy duty cotton Tshirt. That's a deal! I don't mind advertising for Chris either.
