    My Canadian Pocket Edition has arrived. Not in great condition but it was bought to be used!

    Bunch of stuff arrived this week. A postwar ball end Tech and a 1910 ABC old style.

    Also arriving this week were a couple of complete unknowns included in a batch. One is a stamped brass head with bolt riveted in and an aluminum handle. The other appears cast. Any info on what they may be is welcome. IMG_0469.jpg IMG_0470.jpg

    The stamped one is commonly referred to as a Crappy No-Name Vending Machine Razor. They occasionally show up in the carton, but still show no sign of who manufactured them.

    I really need to stop buying soaps. I needed blades and ended up with 5 more. [​IMG]

    The cast razor looks like a Barbasol nonfloating type head.

    I hauled BIG RED 20180828_152001.jpg
    I'm stoked, the knot is soft and dense. The handle feels almost like a doorknob. Definitely easy to hold onto. Richly weighted, finished flawlessly.
    I made a lather with a couple soaps, awesome comes to mind. No stink or funk detected.
    Only my second chub, my second lather was runny, too much water. I started over, an extra shake, retry, that did the trick. It sure covers some territory.
    More forthcoming.

    Not my picture, but picked up a Newcomb 15C for my son and I to play some 45's and 33's. May later invest in an Audio-Technica AT-LP120.
