What are you waiting on to arrive...?

As a huge Pink Floyd fan this has been on my wish list for quite some time and finally got around to buying it. Also my first A&E products.

 

@IAmTheJody it all worked out no? This is definitely not going for replate!

 

Coming soon in the mail is a RazoRock Hive 24mm Mokasoft HD synthetic

 

Thanks, @SpeedyPC , just ordered one after seeing your post.

 

I wouldn't replate that one either as the original gold plating looks fantastic on it!

 

Close up of the head from fleabay pics...looks amazing for almost 100 years old!

cool score..

 

That is really nice. I have a related question for all of you: why did open comb razors fall out of favor? My favorite single edge safety is the open comb Valet Auto Strop. I get really excellent shaves with that. My experience with both old and modern safetys having a solid safety bar are not as favorable, and my best shaves can come from a straight. It seems to me that the open comb at least delivers half of your face to the blade without having previously wiped away all the lather with a solid safety bar.
So, why did it fall out of favor?

 

probably easier/cheaper to manufacture during those times..a little more durable if dropped.

 

Hey Dave, the Rotbart showed up today and the top cap is in pretty decent condition. Not perfect, but by no means in bad shape. I'm very happy with it.

 

Awesome Mike. Nice score !!!
If you decide to move it along, I'm your huckleberry

 

Looks pretty good! compared to some Rotbarts I've seen it's in great condition.

 

Thanks Dave. I really wanted this one because I could use different handles with it. You'll be the first to know if I part with it, plus I know you always have a bunch of sweet razors to possibly trade for too.

 

Thanks Kieth! I'm extremely happy with this find.

 

This:



And four more razors. Some vintage Schick injector blades (made in USA). I am going to have to ban myself from here...

 

Very nice!

 

Correction: I am waiting on the TARMAX SE from the pass around. Due for delivery Saturday. Will use it the next week and pass it along. I am on the list for the TARMAX Injector, too. That will come later.

 

We're on a roll with Tom's beautiful razor art! I'm waiting on the arrival of his original TARMAX Injector via the pass-around as well as a special TARMAX Injector with a rolling guard! The special rolling guard one is scheduled to be delivered to me tomorrow and can be seen below thanks to an awesome picture of it by Tom. The original one, I have not received any tracking information yet.

 

That rolling guard is cool. I have one on my Original TNNSER.

 

Yes, I remember! Tom said you are supposed to send it to me for rehoming.
