I'm waiting on a fatboy case I won. Lol I got con'd on the postage .. But the case is only $5. I'm paying more in postage than what I paid for the case. Now if that darn fatboy my buddy got me would just get here already!!
Hello, I just scored this third generation(?) #21 Aristocrat. http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/401076431633 It should be here in about a month.
A jar of Tim's Signature soap ordered today. It looks like my jar of The Shop Stroppe Russian Tea and Beaver Woodwright Captain's Pipe will be delivered today..
Damn my RBAD ... and RAD .... At least SAD hasn't kicked in... fully. My first soap purchase in a while ok .... I'm making a solemn vow ... no more purchase for the month ...
I have the 1st Russian sampler up top...it's friggin awesome, the only one I would say to use caution with is the Sputnik. The rest are dandy Andrew.
I ordered a pair of used Naniwa stones in 3k and 5k that have been glued together in a combo stone. Since these stones are more consistent for me to use than my natural stones with slurry, it should help me get the edge I am looking for on my straights. I also ordered three pastes of a proprietary blend from the same shop. He uses them to further refine and polish an edge after final hone. I need to make a paste strop now, but am excited to try these. Also ordered another 100 Russian DE blades. Which for the amount of DE shaving I do is about a 20 year supply.
Rapira Swedish Supersteel DE blades. I finally tried them last week after having some for a year. Good stuff, and it was like $8.50 shipped.
I almost purchased one of those dorco razors yesterday .. But then I remember how bad the dorco blades were when I got my weishi. So I passed
http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/169939-Dorco-PL-602-Plastic-DE-Razor http://sharpologist.com/2016/01/dorco-pl-602.html I was planning on using one as a travel razor possibly. In any case the reviews above are favorable and it seems they take to a shim very well. Im guessing that they will pair perfectly with a nice sharp blade
I wonder if they're like the Wilkinson Sword and the feather popular the Wilkinson Sword seems best with the Wilkinson Sword blade the feather popular shines with a feather blade. Soooooo maybe you should try the Dorko with a Dorko blade???
I was in a Chinese supermarket that I visit to collect from. I'm an asset recovery rep and they are my customer. I was just browsing while waiting to get loaded and saw the razors. I was in Southern California in a city call San Gabriel .
Rockwell 6S V2, goofy shave mug from an auction, Syn brush and Poraso from IB. Stalking the UPS truck as we speak...
