They arrived.
Three little piggies and three soaps

The Arabian spice soap smells so good

The wine soap is nice but not on the same smell level as Arabian spice (which is from a brand I never used, so I decided to try it out)

Great haul. I've heard really good things about Kell's.

Another NOS 5 pack of Personna 74*'s. Makes a total of 15 in my collection, 1 blade I have been using with 9 shaves on it with no indication of slowing down yet. Just as smooth now as the first use. Only use it once a week so I am set now for over 5 years with projected 20 shaves per blade....

First time to try, I did a practice lather to see what the piggies could do and it lathered nice it smelled great

The tins are nice also they were only $3 more instead of just the puck

I got a package of those lying around. So you're saying they're worth trying?

For me best blade I have ever used. Unbelievably smooth in any razor I have put them in...(referring to double edge blades don't have an injector and know they made them for those as well)

Still waiting on my SOC Cherry Handle from Portugal. Tracking # shows last activity on 2/10 (date mailed) and nothing since. eBay considers late after 3/5. I've purchased from overseas on eBay before and never had a problem before. We'll see what happens................

If you ordered from vintagescents it took about 3 weeks or so for it to get to the US when I ordered a brush there.

Ordered from vendor nanbantrader 100% positive feedback so vendor not an issue. It shows it was mailed on 2/10 w/tracking but no activity since 2/10. I don't sweat stuff like this. If it comes, it comes. If not, file a claim and get a refund.

Just paid for my first SR! Waiting on this beauty:



A restored 13/16 Imperial hollow ground with decorated celluloid scales. Bought a strop along with it.

Really excited to give an SR a try!

Copper bowl (looks like it could work well plus it looks cool) and Yuma razor (for travel) from bestshave would have ordered another #6 but out of stock.....next order....

Shavecraft 101 head.

For those that want a closer look at the blade:

For those wanting close up of the scales:

Rudy Vey completed the transplant of my Plisson knot (through an injured hand) and it's on the way. Looking forward to trying it out.

WW synthetic brush. Bronze and Violet in the Juliet style handle. I got it as part of the Lucky Group buy.

It's here, it's here, yippee!
