So a little something that I have been searching for, for over two years has finally arrived. I had seen a few of these in bad shape or being sold for rediculous prices but I decided to pay a little more than I wanted to finally secure one. I am pleased to welcome to my family of shaving paraphernalia the made in the U.S.A Bigelow Parkin safety razor. I will shave with little guy tonight.
Shaver Heaven Desperado! It's smells like leather, which I'm not a fan of, I found out and changed my order to Neroli. Looks like it slipped through the cracks I'll give it a try, maybe the scent will grow on me.
Decided to take some proper photos of the latest brush in my den. I used it this morning and it is really a great brush. This is a Wolf Whiskers Bishop handle with a Virginia Sheng 24mm Silvertip set at 50mm:
That last image looks cuddly. Cannot describe it in a masculine way sadly but it just looks so soft and I kinda want to reach out and grab it
It's very simple. Cut the knot out with a razor blade. Then i use a dremel to remove the rest of the knot. Just go to Lowe's or home depot and buy different levels of sandsandpaper. I start with 600 grit and sand it all. Then move to 1000 grit and repeat. Then go to 1500, 3000, and 5000. By the time you do this it will be a very smooth finish. I use meguiars car POLISH with a micro fiber towel and just hand polish it until all the sanding marks are gone. any plastic or car POLISH should work. It sounds like a lot but its truly only 1 to 1.5 hours worth of work.
