I've never seen a spine guard like that. It's part of what caught my eye. Any of you know anything about them?
I believe it's not actually a razor for facial hair. The spine is a thin cover that you can slide forward. The Japanese called it a Geishunko which loosely translates to "butt scratcher"
Hi folks, I am waiting on two more items. The first is a Gillette New LC in a New Standard case. I got it to split up. I need the case for a New Improved razor I have, and I'm going to swap the New LC with one in one of my sets, because this new is nicer looking. I just have to fix the end on it. Here's that photo. - And the next thing I'm waiting on is a roll of book binding repair tape for fixing the hinges on Single Ring cases. I learned this trick from @preidy in a thread he created about repairing the hinges on Single Ring cases. Here's that photo- I had a few other things come in lately, however, I haven't been feeling all that great lately, so I haven't been posting everything I wanted too. I'll be trying to post more in a few days though. Thanks for your interest. Have a great night.
Excellent acquisitions. You know how popular the Red Tip is on TSD. Great razor; one of my favorites.
Been there... I look at it this way: my wife spends $79/month for a massage. I don't come close to that with my $$ on shave gear. And with me not buying anything this year...and yes, I am still "in", I figure I am good for that Toggle on January 1, 2017.
I saw something similar on eBay and I almost pulled the trigger. It's a beautiful looking shave bowl/mug. Congrats!
