Me, I'm waiting for internet service to be restored...it's rather sad to live in the silicon valley area in 2015 and your ISP is down for over 12 hours.
My order just arrived. I was pleasantly surprised by the San Antonio puck. I wasn't sure what to expect, it was a sale item and I figured I would try it out. If it lathers and smells that good shaving I will love it. I am also really excited about the Glacial Lemon Chill. That is my shave tomorrow.
I have a BIG Stirling order that was just shipped this afternoon: 1x Barbershop ss (My first time with this one!) 1x Black Ice ss (I LOVE this one!) 1x Frozen Tundra ss (My first time with this one!) 1x Glacial Lemon Chill ss (BRRRRRRRRRRRR-Cold and beautiful!) 1x Glacial Obsidian ss (BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-Cold and beautiful!) 1x Glacial Spearmint ss (BRRRRRRRRRRRRR-Cold and beautiful!) 1x Glacial Wintergreen ss (BRRRRRRRRRRRR-Cold and beautiful!) I'll have more than enough freezing-cold menthol stuff to enjoy for the next ten summers!
I'm very excited as I finally pulled the trigger on a Becker Scuttle on eBay! Ever since he's cut back production, I've either waited too long and it was sold or the one's available were bigger than I wanted. I wanted the "small or travel" sized scuttle which was $33 w/free shipping. It should be here middle to end of next week.
Congratulation. Being a Becker-owner myself I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed. Robert do (did?) great work and I will treasure mine.
Ended up paying through my [insert orifice of choice] for it (apparently I'm far from the only one that has 'a thing' for this model) - but it was one of my 'last four to get'-razors and I barely ever see one in the original box! I give you the...Schick Type F I'll post some photos when I get it as I don't think the sheer awesomeness of this razor is captured in these vendor photos... Cleaned up it looks purty like this (not my photo):
Since I am not actively buying any razors now (sigh..) my waiting-on list is getting shorter but will take some time to be fully depleted as many are coming from over seas; 1) A very dirty Lerseche #34(?) from France 2) A Gillette Rocket from Canada 3) A rather big lot of razors from France (6-7 razors and some stuff) 4) Another Rocket 5) Three Swedish razors: Strivel, Swing and Matador - bought from Sweden 6) Pils 101NE Excited about this one 7) Vintage Merkur Slant The only razor in over six months I have a bit of a buyer's remorse of since I spotted some issues w/ it in the photos after buying it. Sigh. 8) Gardette in box 9) Weber PH head and Wave handle 10) Schick Type F That's it and looks like it will BE it for a long time. Actually, feels kinda good
These nice things: 1x Stirling Black Ice ss 1x Stirling Barbershop ss 1x Stirling Glacial Obsidian ss 1x Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ss 1x Stirling Glacial Spearmint ss 1x Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ss 1x Stirling Frozen Tundra ss Can't wait for 'em!
