    Just put out a bid on this re-plated Gillette NEW long comb and "won" so I guess I'm waiting for 2 razors now... I have a slim on the way too.

    RyX DoH!

    Opps, I vaguely remember seeing this bottle of Old Spice. I kind of recall thinking it was a good price but surely I'd get out bid...

    Nope, I was the only bidder. Soon to be the owner of 6 ounces of Shulton from between '74 & '81. I won't splash with abandon from my current bottle until this one arrives.

    Last month I purchased two Arkansas stones, one 8x2 translucent and one 6x2 Washita, from a guy who had purchased a bunch of stones that didn't make the quality cut from Dan's Whetstones. They were final cut, but not lapped. The Washita had a dinged corner, and the translucent has some visable cracks that are below the surface. I have SIC powder, but decided to have a guy who makes whetstones lap them for me. He lapped both sides, and did one side with a courser finish. The translucent took 7 hours on his lapping machine to get done. I made the right choice. Including shipping three times and lapping, I have $50 bucks in these two stones. Can't wait to get them.

    Are there a bunch of wild country lovers here? I keep seeing full bottles for around a buck. I could throw some in a flat rate box next time I come across them.

    As for me I won this lot with what appears to be a very colorful ever ready brush. Should make for a nice restoration.

    This will be my first time trying Wild Country. But if you happen to see a bottle with Island Lime or Brisk Spice I would definitely be interested.

    I hate to admit it, but the ruskis make the best blades, imho.

    I have a Blackbird SB in polished stainless steel on its way.
    I have spent far too much on razors but I'm trying to find the best stainless steel razor for me. ATT was too harsh or irritating, the M plate was too mild.
    I bought a Timeless; simply a magnificent piece of functional art, but I can't seem to get it dialed in: 0.68 mm plate is too mild, 0.95 mm gives me nicks, though I haven't given up on it yet.
    After reading reviews, it's most likely the BB will be too aggressive. I will try it but I can see myself sending it back.
