What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Just ordered the Razorock 26 millimeter synthetic the monster

 

Georgetown Pottery G12 Shaving Scuttle. I started growing a beard unexpectedly because of the winter temperature drop, so I felt like a scuttle was a good investment. That way shaving is less miserable during the colder parts of the year. My bathroom gets quite cold. I try to shower in the afternoon too to avoid the freezing feeling I get after I step out of the shower.

 

I did have to scold her for not realizing my Myrsol Emulsion is nearly out and could have been added to her order
Just kidding.... Im rather lucky to have a wife that appreciates and supports my hobby.

 

Came across this RARE Savile Row brush and had to have it. Finding a Savile Row in Tortoise or Buffalo horn is rare enough but then finding one in a fan shape on top of that is just as rare so one that is in Tortoise and fan shape is a big bonus. Hope it is not too floppy for me. This one is reported to be 26mm by 59mm loft.

Sweeeet brush Guy. Another beauty for your awesome collection.

 

It's so lovely Guy, I'm so glad you landed it.

 

Thanks Mark.

I'm in the process of trimming my brush collection down to manageable size but had to have this rare brush.

 

Thanks Roby!

 

Great looking brush.
It reminds me a bit about my T12:

 

The gentleman who I bought the brush from was selling his Kent BLK12 at the same time. When I saw that it reminded me of my BK8 which for me was way too floppy and sold off after two uses. My Sevile's are a lot denser than the BK8 I had so hoping it will be along the lines of what I have and not a floppy knot. The gentleman said he felt it was floppy so will have to see if this SR is a relabeled Kent or not. Of all the Kent brushes I think the T series is the best looking of the bunch.

 

Waiting on a V-1 super adjustable birth quarter razor. It's pretty crusty in the pics. See how it does in the ultrasonic

 

I've been toying with the idea of getting an ultrasonic cleaner. Any model you can recommend?

 

High end ones can get expensive. Mine was a reasonable $63.

I have the harbor freight 2.5l which is heated. (About $63 with 20% coupon). Their smaller one does not work as well. My brother has been using it for years to clean motorcycle/atv carbs.

Cleaned mine and a friends first batch of razors yesterday. Using only water and Dawn with the heater.
Works well, not sure how to post video of it in action.
Here's a snapshot. The cloud is the stuff coming out.

 

Well i'm fairly new to wet shaving, so this will most likely be documented tests. There are a couple i may wait for a while to use (feathers), until i am a little more experienced and have a few more shaves under my belt.
And yes 85 blades, from 16 brands. a great way to try em all out.

 

My fascination with the Merkur MII razors continues - partly because I love the handles and partly because these are two versions (polished silver and gold plated) that I didn't already have (I have two or three matte silver ones). Also, seeing them come up for about $15 each + a lot of stuff 'thrown in' made it extra hard to resist (these normally sell for about $50).

The only downside is that I am starting to accumulate a small collection of ugly shaving mugs and brushes that I will have to try to sell.

(Seller's photos)
Lot 1 - about $16
- Col Conk Pure Badger brush,
- Col Conk Shaving mug,
- Couple of combs, and
- NIB Gold plated Merkur MII




Lot 2 - also about $16
- Col Conk Pure Badger brush,
- Col Conk really ugly scuttle, and
- NIB polished silver plated Merkur MII




A scuttle only a mother could love:

 

I've been wanting one of these

I do hope it lives up to my expectations.

 

Oh, legendary steel.
Gratz!

 

Floid Blue Eau de Cologne150ml, Floid Aftershave Splash “Vigoroso” 150ml from Gifts & Care.
I'm going to order an iKon Short Open Comb head only tomorrow. I'm looking at the fabulous cherry wood boar brush RazoRock has for $19.99. I'll sleep on that one.

 

That is one foul piece of ceramic! Curious combination with the sleekly designed MII.

I jumped when hearing that Fine AS was available in Europe, ordered a Fresh Vetiver - and threw a Floïd Black on top for good measure. Quite a few shipments on their way to me now. I will be checking my mailbox eagerly for the coming week

 

My gold Tech Fatty & Kai blades will be delivered today (if USPS can be believed), and...

...I picked up a '57 blue-tip. Ford blue.
