    The mail lady brought some treats today! First a NOS GEM " flying wing " razor aka the bullet tip. Close to mint, unused condition. ( until tomorrow that is! ) image.jpeg image.jpeg

    Also received 3 silvertip knots from Vig Shaving 22 mm for some handles I'm restoring. image.jpeg

    My girlfriend said, after learning about my 'hobby,' "I guess I know what to get you for presents."

    If she shops half as well as your wife, I'm doing good.

    My guess would be neither.
    It's probably a date that had some significance for the customer - maybe an anniversary or something - and it was engraved at the time of/after the purchase

    It is a solid razor. I have one shave with it so far and it performed admirably

    First time trying Feather blades. These are SE for Valet A.S. testing.

    EDIT: These failed. Valet A.S. I guess are not for me. Don't know what else this will fit into ?

    A new to me Vintage Klenzo brush, (knot almost fully removed) and some Champrel After-Shave Talc. Total was 12 bucks so I'm pretty happy about that. The Talc is ~80% full too. Don't know if I will ever use it though, but it makes a great display item

    Not necessarily great candidate for nose hair lathering. :p

    Received two things in the mail:

    1) A Gillette Twinjector
    (Gillette's only injector razor)

    2) A five-pack of disposable Wilkinson Shava II razors from the late 1980's - for $2
    I actually really like the handle design - someone should re-create it in metal :D

    Enjoy it, Kerry - it might not be an intensely-cold soap, but the menthol effect is definitely there and it's very pleasant. Great lather and and skincare as well with indeed a lovely scent! :)

    Thanks, Jeff! I bought it based on your review, TFS has top notch soaps so I expect the same thing with this one. I'm not a freeze head like you ;) Proraso Green is cold enough.. :) Maybe I'll use my Fine Snakebite?
