My re-purposed fountain pen display case arrived. I promised @Darkbulb i would show it loaded with my small collection. It will be joined by a Wade and Butcher next week.
My latest $7-8 brush purchase arrived this week: I was really only after the one on the left as it had a, to me, really interesting handle design with the metal part in the middle: I really should decide on how I want these five restored.....
This Canadian LC arrived and I cleaned her up. Will shave tomorrow for first LC shave. Curious find I have to make sure handle aligns straight before tightening down or can be off. Is this normal on these ? Before and After
YES!!! MY STRAIGHT RAZOR FINALLY GOT HERE My razor has finally come back to me after three weeks of shipping delays thanks to the United States Postal Service. I had a big sticker on the box saying that it had been officially inspected by the chief postal inspector... Ok so they looked at my straight razor. Why'd it take so long? Also I received my order from Chiseled Face. They smell awesome! Redneck smells just like my grandpa's garage. And Ghost Town Barber smells like a smoky twist on a classic scent.
I REALLY need to stop.... I'll break this up into two post's. First, some mugs I didn't have. And a puck of Old Spice! One wiff and it smells like OS, and the next wiff it smells old and funky. I'm undecided on using it or not. Next, razors. An Old Spice brass razor. An Ever Ready "Patented March 24/14". And a Lady Eversharp, WITH instructions. ...on to post #2...
Part 2. In my quest for display, I saw this Spice rack and didn't have to think any further... Perfect for brushes. The brushes came with the mugs. They are, ER 300L(black and clear one), unknown (wood and brass collar one), and Made Rite 500PB (butterscotch one). Also, some Aqua Velva. "For Professional Use Only" And last but not least, a cool masted ship paperweight, and after the 5th store, I finally found the size sander drums I needed for my dremel to work on the spoon/razor display. That's it, all done, no more....until next time.
Thanks. There's plenty of it there so I will at least use some of it. Unless it's gone weird and give me hives or blisters or something.
The type D injector came yesterday and was in perfect condition. I gave it a bath and wiped it off. I've not seen one in the case before.
