Druida Chubbic Aluminum 28mm Manchurian Knot

Great looking brush.

50 Sputnik blades to go with all the other Russian blades I have ordered lately.

You're on a roll with the brushes. I've looked at that same brush several times.

Decided I needed a third Leresche so this guy will, for the princely sum of $46, come and stay with me for at least some time:

You outbid me

Oh man, now I feel bad...kinda
I'm still trying to figure out what model it is....

And btw - don't you already have a Leresche on its way to you?

Yes, that's why I only gave a half-hearted bid. I believe you already have a Leresche as well

I uh do...and ..uh..now two more on their way to me....

Next week on Hoarders....

Lol, did you see this?

Waiting on a 1956 Super Speed Flare Tip. Pretty excited to try it out!

1 pack of Dorco ST-301s
1 pack of Voskhods
1 pack of Perma-Sharp Supers
1 pack of Rapiria Platinum Lux

Just received today! AOS Sandalwood ASB and 200 Platinum Lux blades!

My fascination with French razors continue - both DEs and SEs - and added a Le Touriste No 2 to the 'collection'.
At $35 it was a bit more than I wanted to pay but it comes with some wedge/hollow ground blades by different manufacturers that I am curious about to see if they can be honed up.

My 7 o'clock Super Platinum Blues from Russia arrived today 3 days ahead of schedule. I simply love this blade! If they don't start making them again, this may be my last order of them.......

I've had good experience with those blades as well.

I have a certain soft spot for Swedish DE razors..and there were a surprising amount of them made back in the days.

I managed to buy not less than three of them in a lot and they should be here in oh, a couple of weeks or so...

They are;
- Strivel stainless steel razor with built-in internal stropping functionality,
- Swing razor (a rather unusual one), and
- Matador Deluxe.

The Strivel takes an old-style 3-hole razor blade. Luckily for me the seller had a bunch in great condition and will include them for free and they are also not too hard to find online.

Some photos for anyone interested:

1 - The Strivel Stainless Steel
In case you don't know how a Strivel operates - come on, of course you do...but just in case you don't here's a video showing the razor AND the stropping mechanism - I highly recommend watching that part!

That head is crying out for a replate...


3 - Matador Deluxe




So a small Swedish invasion is making its vodkadrinking, meatballchewing way to me - and I couldn't be happier
