What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I ordered this canvas strop for use with chromium oxide. It was about $3. Pretty good.

 

My raffle prize-the Avon vintage aftershave.

 

Just ordered and waiting for:

- Portland General Store Whiskey soap
- Tabac Original soap
- Stirling Coniferous soap
- Cella after shave
- a leather head cover to protect the razor and blade while traveling
- Omega 10086 Boar travel brush

all should be here within a week or so.

The head cover and travel brush are in preparation for an approximately 4 week road trip later this spring.

Timeless TRH4 Barbers Pole



2011 Semogue Finest Badger 2



NOS 2012 Special Edition Semogue Owners Club (Boar and badger mix)

 

I am waiting on some more knots. I am going to do a brush restore, so I ordered three knots to choose from, two synthetics and a boar.

 

TTFFC Devils Cut soap and aftershave, Cella and some samples

 

following up-wow, what a prize!!! Aftershave in the form of an oldies car!

 

Do you know which juice? Some or most of the vintage Avon aftershaves were made to be like popular scents in their day.

 

A PantaRei "barrel" brush with a 28/30 manchurian badger knot. Just waiting for confirmation from the artisan

 

Pick up a Durham Duplex that is down to brass. Which is great because its for a Gillette OC New head.
Also got a 1932 Canadian Gillette Tech (post war) oblong slots.
Lastly I picked up three Maggard's 22mm black synthetic knots.

 

Okay, okay. I broke my no buy 2017 pledge. So boot me off of TSD, but it's worth it!

Two Genco straight razors are inbound as we type! For the price, I couldn't say no.

Don't tell my wife! If you do tell her, I got them at a rock bottom price!

 

That's a fantastic razor. I have one and I love it!

 

Very nice Karl!

 

You should like that. Especially after @gssixgun eorks his magic on it. I have four Korn razors, and several from Cattaraugus based on his patents.

 

that's been a challenge for me so far...at first sniff, I thought "Oh, kind of like Mennen(Skin Bracer)". But it isn't quite the same. I never tried Polo Green, other than sniffing it off pages of Men's Health, but I'd say it's somewhere in between Skin-Bracer and PG. Y'know, as I write, I wonder of the guys at Colgate tried to make something like this Avon, and it ended up to be Skin-Bracer.

 

Jim it was a pleasure knowing you here on TSD...have a great life and see ya at your next post here .

 

How'd I miss those? If you had let me know I could have kept you on your NB17 path.

 

It was your comments (and some others) in another thread some time ago that got me looking for one. Trouble is I now have to sell a razor or two to make room in my storage case.

 

I wasn't expecting to win. I bid at the starting price, which was quite low, and nobody else bid. It's not too often I get lucky.
