I found this Somefa razor and it looked awesome so I picked it up.

NOS H Diamond

You love that Japanese steel!

Out for delivery: iKon SC101 head. Fine Italian Citrus soap & aftershave. Colgate Handy Grip.
Shipped: Stirling Electric Sheep.

I do Jorge, I said I'd done buying but I saw this and couldn't resist. Love the Red scales and I've developed a bit of a thing for covered tangs. There's one more razor out there currently that I've come across today that I want but I'm hoping somebody buys it soon.

I know about the urges.. it's a good looking razor! Let me know when the one I sent you gets in.

Yes, it's currently being held back by customs. I got annoyed yesterday when tracking said they'd attempted delivery and I wasn't at home but apparently it's just a marker they put on when it's handed over in the UK for delivery and it leaves USPS hands.

Amazing brushes they are

Yeah, the quality of the knots, considering what he charged was fantastic. Four of the five NF brushes have 2 band knots and one has an incredible silvertip.
I wonder how many brushes he made in total?

"Not enough"

Jorge finally convinced me to trade one of my MonoBilts for this nice Schick B1 Repeater:

FYI my Fingers are not part of the trade, they are for display purposes only

Now you tell me!

I'm waiting on this beauty! I was finally able to loosen Andrews grip on it.. I've been working him for like 6 months!!!

Pretty excited as I await my first hobo coin.
Decided to go with a coin by James Boudreau who makes the changes through hand carving on the original coins and is a very well regarded artist.
It was hard to pick the one I wanted from his site but rather liked this one as it's on quarter which will be a good size.


The Susan Anthony dollar..and the traditional buffalo nickel were also tempting....

That's pretty cool, DB. I never knew about them.

A Chinese clone Atra handle. I keep noticing the generic TracII/Atra carts at the supermarket and hearing good things, so I decided to plunk down on a handle. $0.75 US shipped, so nothing really lost.

Thanks, apparently he found a couple of Susan B coins so I swapped my order to one of those as I think its one of his best:

I've got a whole bunch of Susan B coins. I was stationed in Germany back in the 80s. Since no one in the States wanted the coin the government shipped them all overseas and gave them out to the military as change when you shopped at the Commissary and PX.

I remember having to get some stamps at the post office, shortly after they came out, I used the vending machine, and used a twenty. The machine said out of the stamps I needed, so it spit out twenty of those Susan B Anthony coins. I was Pissed off.
