I'm still in my first year, with no thought of a NoBuy period. Well a little thought. Dadgum flea markets keep putting Gillettes in my face. Third model 195 is not as pretty as the others, but it's my birth year & quarter. Being a bit brassy it'll be the one I send out for a refinish. Not sure if I'd do Delta Echo or Rhodium
Nice score. The Delta Echo's are wicked looking. When I find one that needs redoing i will go there. Keep us posted.
Lots of good Boar Breaking In to do! Congratulations. I'll be watching to see your reviews & hope for comparisons betwixt the three.
Awesome collection! I also see your AVON razor on the far left. I have two of them, one full and one empty.
Russian blades arrived. Better late than never, apparently via the Volga trade route by camel and yak.
My Mysterious Mystery Box arrived! It had in it an Our Leader JAS.G.BARRY Co. Chicago Ill's Made in Germany. It also had 2 rocks, er, stones, er hones. One is purple and one is grey. They are both about the same size as my old chipped barber's hone. I'm not sure what they are but I'll be playing with them very soon. I dislocated my toe a few days ago so I'm doing my best to stay off my feet. I'll likely start playing as soon as I find out what they are relative to my other hones. I'll take pictures and add them to this post as soon as my fiance is done with the phone. It has the best camera.
Guys my Bullgoose black beauty came in. Super fast shipping I ordered this Sat. 26. It's a long handle, weighty with great grip. Will test it tomorrow and post impressions. Very impressed considering the price on this. Pics below:
Look forward to this one. As I have another from my favorite soap maker. edit: the scent to me is very similar to XXX, all the reviews said similar to aqua di parma (not familar with that scent so cant confrim), and performs like every SV....LOVE IT
I received a jar of Caties Bubbles Ocean Grove from @Herm2502 Thank you so much! I also received a Maggard V3A head (aggressive) It's gunmetal, the finish is pretty nice, cost $7.20. Look at that blade gap!!!
Wow super combo!. Lot of blade exposure, time for some close shaves. The soap sounds great too. Enjoy
Today, I had a surprise in the mail. @Redfisher adopted one of my brushes and decided to send me this nice little GEM for my SE collection. It is a very nice specimen. Thanks again, Redfisher. Inside the lid it says: Extra Wear Trade Mark Hosiery for Men The Fisher Co. GEM Made in the U.S.A.
The Ocean Grove smells great!! I can't wait for tomorrow, the Maggard head surprisingly looks really good, the MR22 handle/V3A feel well balanced. I'll let you know tomorrow.
