What are you waiting on to arrive...?

It sure looks great!

 

Looks very nice. Congratulations.

 

Thanks! Already scored one nice one, heading out for honing. Trying to find history on it, but not a lot of luck. Looking forward to trying one.

 

Why me? Why?!
Here's my Gift & Care tracking status....

Broken? Label issue? This is one of those black hole exceptions...

 

Oh no, that stinks! Hope they get it sorted out

 

Man. This is the story of my life with USPS. Thanks!

 

It looks like they used registered mail, which should maintain an unbroken chain of custody. If you have a tracking number, you can call the station and ask if they can better explain the exception.

 

First thing tomorrow morning, because of the registered mail and the chain of custody I'm confident there won't be an issue.

 

Friedrich Schlemper.
Incorporated in 1925 in Solingen-Merscheid.
Had five main, know, brand names: 'Brennpunkt Solingen', 'Capitol', 'DK Prior', 'Focus', 'Kapitol'.

The Focus line came with various colored scales, such as this one:


or like this



It appears that most of the FOCUS razors were also stamped with a three-digit code - 191, 224, etc - but I notice yours does not have any designation like that which might mean it's an early offering in that product line.

Best thing is - of the comments I've read online it's a great shaver

 

Ah, good old "Processing exception" I know you well.
Think the longest that held up a package for me was over a week.

 

Wow, thanks! I've seen some positive reviews, but that's more than I found so far. Those scales are really nice looking too. I do like the woodgrain on the one I got. From the pics anyhow.

Really looking forward to trying a straight.

 

Bought something relatively "unseen".
Will be sent a thick pewter bowl, made in Sheffield, as the one in the pictures below - and also a NIB "Merkur razor with teeth" (the person selling it is not a razor-person).
Haven't seen a photo of the razor..should arrive this week and I'm curious as to what I will get.
For $25 incl. shipping it may turn out ok....

 

The recent pics of Slow watches gave me the WAD
I've been looking at watches on the bay - Slows at first, but wound up (heh) with a Russian diving watch in stead. A custom/modded Vostok Amphibia.
Had to get a leather strap for it as well

 

I'm in the same boat...been drooling over some Slow Watches and also looked at various other brands... We'll see.....

Should be here within the next few days!

 

YES!!

 

Not that I ever intended nor indicated anywhere that I would be in NB16, but I still would consider this a slip up. Two more orders at TVBShaving and Gifts&Care: A Fine Clean Vetiver AS (hoping that it indeed does approximate Guerlain's Vetiver), a PAA Dirt shaving soap (never tried PAA before) and a Haslinger schafsmilch soap (never tried Haslinger before either). My credit card weeps; the shaving demon rejoices.

 

I have been curious of that one, almost pulled the trigger myself. Should have had it this past weekend, though, shouldn't you, to go with the Beef Wellington!?

 

Glad you got a refund. Ebay and Paypal protect their members very well. Caveat Emptor.
