    I am, for some reason, waiting on this $7.50 vintage, pewter Emporio Armani razor and brush set.

    The stand has to be worth at least that much.

    My first knot ordered from China (22mm Finest). If I ever decide to do a complete restore on my rare New Forest Tamboolie wood brush, this will be the knot used.

    How super cool @Darkbulb! Being pewter I imagine it should have some weight to it? :happy088:

    Looks really scary. For some unknown reason I have no desire to try a straight razor. Don't trust myself or my fiance. Lol.

    Shaving with SRs is not nearly as scary as it looks.
    However, if you view THIS THREAD, you'll probably never wish to even touch one....:D

    Beautiful razor. I love the look of the frame backs. Nice find.

    Finding a vintage frame back in decent condition is the challenge. Many have damaged or overly-worn blades, or cracked/split scales.
    Finding one with the spare blade(s) is the ultimate rarity.

    I have things coming from three different directions, but should all be hitting by early next week, all firsts for me:
    100 Astra SP blades, my first bulk purchase
    The Astra's are coming with an Arko stick, my first Arko!
    Kent Infinity Silvertex brush, dipping my toes in synthetics
    9-soap sampler from Soap Commander, from here in my home state (my first deliberate, artisan soap purchase)

    +1 on the Astra SP's and the Arko. A good price from turkey. 4 tunes of Palmolive cream in a tube. This is the cream my father used. I'll give one each to my brothers and the other two are for me.

    Things are going downhill fast - Within the last month I've gotten 2 MdC soaps, a Wilkinson "sticky" and two bottles of L'occitane edt's in the mail, and that pretty much cleared out my bank account.
    This weekend I discovered the Gallant & Klein 50% sale. "Okay, I'll spend more money to save some money" he thinks to himself. "While I'm at it, I'll just order these three Semogue ABB's from G&C" it continued. "WOW! What is this weird Semogue frankenbrush on eBay? Better order one"... :sick013:
    So yeah. Soaps, croaps, brushes and blades. Pics coming within a week! :sad027:
