Can't beat the Gbar and that looks like a good one!

Pretty cool but the razor handle might need work.

Noticed that the unscented Japanese Mandom Lucido A/S (125ml/4oz) was selling on Amazon for $12.50 w/ free international shipping so decided to pick up a bottle as it seems to get rather favorable reviews


It also comes in a rather neat glass bottle (photos from the world wide web...):

Waiting on this old French razor to arrive. I rather like the handle and the top cap has some interesting grooves in it

For quite a while I have wanted to adopt a brush from @Jayaruh . A couple of weeks ago I ordered a Tuxedo knot, but wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. Then last night, I was totally inspired by @RyX 's picture of his 400 with a Tuxedo in it. Today Jim agreed to make me one of his 400's in Oak. I think the light wood and the black knot will look awesome together. I am pretty stoked for this. Thanks Guys!

Thank you for crediting me with the inspiration! I must admit I was inspired by @mrchick 's before me. I think Jim @Jayaruh may have been the first to possess a Tuxedo.
Does anyone also own a Plisson or WD synthetic knot? How would you rate them? I'm curious about the comparison.

For the Motherland, Comrades! May the Glorious Revolution serve the Proud Sons and Daughters of the Proletariat.

I couldn't resist this beautiful 1956 Moscow from the STIZ factory. It's my birth year so I had to buy it, right?

..Its a Belter Man..

Billy..

Nice, it's a belter man! What ever that means! Pretty good looking though!

I have this coming, looks used but not abused. My first project razor. $13.00. The scales are nice and there is some engraving on the other side of the blade.

TOBS Eton College shave cream. I haven't tried the TOBS products yet and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.

There is one on the bay that is already up to $51.00. People are silly sometimes.....

One just sold for $70+...another has a BIN for $90...
I think another batch of 1.000 razors is dropping in a week or so.....for $20-25....

The free market is something else....

It's a real beauty!

Those are nice scales.

You have the welch stones, right?

Thanks, and yes I have the Welsh hones.

My first metal spinner.

Found a local guy who makes them for $45-65 shipped. I like the California state map he put on it

Here it is w/out the inner bearings insert installed;


The engravings are the California state map ( ) and the crossed arrows signifying friendship.

This is what this model looks like finished;


I really hope I like this spinning thing..or I now have a $65 paperweight...

I've been looking for a Geneva - nice find.

What are these used for?
