Alligator leather handle? I always thought the Louisiana Slugger was an alligator wrestler from Henderson.
Currently waiting on: - a Shumate straight razor eBay score - a Tony Miller Plain Chocolate strop - a Tabac lot (soap & cream)
Here's an interesting article about what types of LS uses. http://www.slugger.com/en-us/slugger-mlb-authentic-cut-bats
My Aristocrat-maybe and dog-knows-what are still wandering around. The tracking system showed it at the wrong post office yesterday (MISSENT), and when I called the 800 number to maybe see if they'll just hold it, the system claims it's IN TRANSIT. I don't know where it's in transit TO, because the tracking system online says it's still at that post office. The Ming-Shi? Who knows when they'll show up, or if they'll show up. The only other one I'm waiting for is a set of straight razors - http://www.ebay.com/itm/222489505019 - that is marked as 'shipped', but with no shipping number. No answer from the email I sent a couple of days ago asking for a shipment confirmation, and apparently the seller has three 'item not shipped' strikes against them in the last 6 months. (lots of good feedback as well, so it's not like they do it constantly). Oh - yeah, I'm also waiting for a replacement valve set to show up for my refrigerator. One of the valves seems to have a pinhole leak, and my icemaker fill line ends up with ice in it when it's not in use.
It's funny, up until a year ago I never had an ice maker in refrigerator, now I'd really miss it if it was gone. BTW as for your Aristocrat I hope all ends well; I sent a restored brush to the UK, sadly never made it it there.
Well, supposedly it's now out for delivery today. It apparently took two days for them to move the thing 10-15 miles to the right post office.
Funny I saw your shipping issues; I had mailed a restored brush to the UK, it took a month to get there and they messed up what they wanted to charge for a custom fee. So the end result was they shipped it back (in less than two weeks) to me and resulted in me needing to refund the buyer. The silly UK post paid more in shipping it back to me than they would have received in custom fees. I hope you get your stuff soon.
No-Buy 2017. Not buying anything that isn't a consumable during the year. (Soap, Aftershave, razor blades)
My definition was not buying anything shaving related during the year. Thankfully, I also failed! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
Dingleberries. The "Futur Clone" showed up, as two Nanjie razors. The unknown ones STILL haven't shown up, although they're supposedly out for delivery today! I guess I'll have to go by the post office tomorrow and ask them if I can get the stupid things.
