What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I'm waiting on this. I think it's a Norfolk razor due to the case but may be a mismatched set.

 

I've seen cased sets that look like that

 

It's the first one with this design that I've seen. I've seen the tuckaway cases with the other design

 

Waiting on a package from a friend who sent me some menthol crystals. Will be putting it in liquid form to use in my shaving products. Sorry, not my pic, had to get one from the net.......

 

Looks

Looks like somebody's going to be breaking bad!

 

Waiting on one of these...thanks to a good member here!

A push-button GEM

 

Late to the party, I figured some Old Spice AS was long overdue. So I ordered a bottle of the Indian stuff, supposedly closest to the original formulation.

 

I made a trade with @whiteboy_cannon , my JR#36 horse for a Pal Injectomatic.

 

I am waiting on a razor.
Interesting, to me anyway, looking Clauss 5/8 full hollow spike with aluminum scales.

 

Use sparingly at first. I learned the hard way.

 

Adding to the Hone Arsenal: I finally yielded to temptation and purchased a Belgian coticule from Ardennes.
I look forward to seeing what type of smooth edges can be pulled from this stone. It'll be slick to be able to compare the coti edges to synthetics and other naturals.

 

Moving day.

 

Did you buy direct, their website is confusing.

 

Direct.
If you use this drop down window...


...and select 'straight razors' you'll be taken to a page where those coticule appropriate for razors will be displayed.
Choose size....add to basket. Boom!

 

I got to the straight razor selection , but then they're all odd shaped.
I assume the bigger the cm2 the more the cost. Do they all come in the wooden boxes? Are the dark regular rectangular one man-made?
I mean nasa aint a knockin', but that site could be a bout a wee bit clearer.
Good luck with your new hone, I'm sure you'll make some fine edges.

 

Those are the BOUTS- irregular shaped stones. There are three windows with varying sizes and prices for these bouts.
There are nine windows total on the page (are you browsing on a phone or pc?); top 3 are coticule bouts; middle 3 are the Belgian Blues (BBWs); the bottom three are the RECTANGULAR coticules (standard and selected).

You pay for real estate, so the bigger the block, you more moolah it costs. Boxes come with rectangular stones 50x150mm or larger. All come with matching slurry stone.

 

Thanks to a thread I read here yesterday I ordered my 1st straight.

 

Makes much more sense now, where'd that "what did you learn " thread go?
Thanks
