    Old shaving mug with gilt shells. It just looked waaay over the top. Now I am looking for an elaborate scuttle like Dr. Watson might have used.

    nice,
    if you wish post a review and some pics on the haul thread. I'm sure quite a few would like to see and hear your thoughts.

    I decided that I had to get one of Mongoose's 'least liked' handles...
    This is what the details read on my invoice:

    "The Most Hated Handle in Wetshaving - One of Ten Prototype Handles w/ cross-hatch knurling (discount for slight knurling flaws)"

    For $20 incl. shipping it's worth checking it out.... :)

    I didn't get one the last time a batch of these Olympic Schick razors came up for sale but now that there's a second batch up for sale (presumably from that same factory warehouse) I decided to just give in and get one. I mean, it's from the Olympic where a certain Bruce Jenner did fairly well...

    It's funny seeing this because I am currently in the middle of a Bond marathon. On Man With The Golden Gun right now. This just made my day! Shaken not stirred.

    Oh nice, you got the more rare one with the crackle-patterned handle. I remember there being a discussion about it also having a different stamp on its head. Hmm...if I could find that info of course....

    These are my 3 Wolf Whiskers Brushes. It may help with your handle selection.

    Thanks! That is great to see!
    For the first brush I am considering a Burnt Whiskey in maybe a Bob or Julie or Pi..or..or....
    I'm also drawn to the faux tortoise...

    By the way, do you remember what sizes these knots are and how they were set - especially the burnt whiskey one?
