What are you waiting on to arrive...?

the Greaves pic is so neat.

 

Jac Zagoory makes some really interesting pieces here in the US. Mostly out of pewter.
A lot of pen holders - that can also double as razor holders of course

They often come in two sizes and the larger ones often sell for $150 or more so I've just been admiring but not actually got one...until tonight when I was able to pick one up for a fraction of that cost (actually less than what the mini ones sell for).

Not sure if I'll use it as a pen holder on the desk...or as an obnoxious way to hold a razor during SOTD photos.
Oh the possibilities.

The one I got is his "Atlas" model;
(Short review of it here)



Using pen holders for SOTD photos is not really new though - Simone Favale has done it in some SOTD photos - with, I think great success;
(That particularly holder is a resin one for about $28)

 

Finally won a vintage Simpson Wee Scott brush (this one a Hoffritz c/w case). I've bid on a number of them the past couple years but was always outbid....til today.

Now waiting on another thing(but I just put the order in this morning)-Rte 66 shave soapCavendish).

 

Just put in another myself LOL.... Just ordered some Bar Soap from Soap Commander ( Honor x2 and Respect x1 ). and The General Razor will be in the mail next week on its way home

 

Wow those are cool. Where do you buy those?

 

Hahaha awesome! Its to bad I cant get in on this =P

 

I should really exploit this opportunity more often. My aunt, who lives in South Africa, is once a year in the US and here in DK, so if I time it right I can get her to be my transport of shaving goods

I just saw a photo from my cousin, who received the goods for me... man that Soap Commander jar is quite big! 170g of soap for only 15 USD - that's quite a deal actually.

 

Sweet Just got the Raffle Win in the mail today Thanks @Matt0210

 

That Arko stick is amazing stuff!

 

Yeah never tried it before, will give it a try in the near future

 

eBay For the knight one just search "knight pen stand". They are about $28.

 

Waiting on a few things:

New RR synthetic Brush
100 pack Rapira Super Stainless blades

1x Uncle Jon'S Holly Berry Tallow
1x Uncle Jon'S Silk Road tallow

Has anyone tried any Uncle Jon's soaps? Have seen a few lathering videos but not a lot of personal testimonies on this brand. Jon makes u tube videos and seems like a great artisan to do business with, also the soaps come in vegan or tallow versions which is cool.

 

scheduled to arrive Monday....that'd be nice, but USPS has been a day late with my orders. Still hopeful for Monday, though.

 

My iKon ShaveCraft 101 head has shipped, now I have a iKon B1 Slant w/OSS handle. Which I plan on keeping..

 

I have two of the non tallow soaps, Aphrodite and Savanna Sunrise. Really nice stuff. Easy lather and excellent performance. I will get more at some point.

 

Another New Forest Tubby2 brush to add to the collection. This one looks to have a nice 2 band knot.

 

Two books by The Barefoot Doctor, for my landlady. Nothing for me.

 

I believe you are thinking of Dr. Jon's soaps (confusing I know). The Dr. Makes some great soaps, especially their new harder formula that came out recently.

Uncle Jon's has a picture of a guy with a big beard on the label. He seems like a very nice person and has some nice scents to choose from. Aside from a few u tube videos I dont think I have seen Uncle Jon's in any of the SOTD threads but really looking forward to trying them.
