What are you waiting on to arrive...?

From what I've read, the brass used on certain Gillette heads contained more than the usual amount of copper and gives it that look. But when it's polished up, it looks nice.

 

Sure I'm familiar with them on the New but was not re the New Improved.

 

10 Gibbs no. 15 razors.



If anyone is interested pm me. I'll sell up to 8 of them for $10 a piece + shipping as a TSD member special, price will be higher elsewhere later on since I certainly won't need or keep this many of them.

 

If you need some purple material for it, let me know.

 

I was tempted until I saw it takes a proprietary blade.

 

They are easy enough to modify. You snip the tabs to shorten them (you can use a Gibbs blade as a template) if you don't want to add slots or grind down the cap.

 

I might be wrong, the article I saw I think it was for modifying blades for Gibbs razors. Won't a good paper punch be able to take off what has to be done to the blade?

Hand nibbler works well also. Second option is to trim the tabs the blade to fit between the posts. Other option is to align the blade on the cap and head and press down hard and let the cap punch out the holes.

 

An iKon polished bulldog handle.

 

Waiting on a couple of packages from @Juno and @Jrdelgado to work on some projects.

 

My humble submission to the thread!
The TSD travel box came in today!!!
I'm happier than a fat kid at a Chinese buffet.

100 pack of Astra SPs.

 

This.

 

Oh yeah!

 

My dad refused to buy a modern adjustable but after some research, Tada!

 

my favorite modern adjustable..

 

Tub of Cella shaving soap. I haven’t used Cella yet so I’m excited for its arrival.

 

That's one in the same. The polished one is 80mm and the unpolished is 85mm, iirc.

 

That's a heck of a box. very nice.
