The Haul: August 2015

I could have used that thread last Saturday on my first run with my Feather Artists Club. Thank you!

 

We all either have, do, or will need this again! Glad to be of service!

 

Yes you are a lucky man - Congratulations on the anniversary.

 

Thank you! Thirteen years this month

 

Received this old Rubberset brush.
WAY smaller than I thought it would be - which I was pleasantly surprised by. The handle is super comfortable.
Sure, it needs a new knot...but I like it

 

Knot looks good from here.

 

yeah it might look that way but if i just brush over it with my hand bristles goes flying (along with a lot of dust)
love the handle though

 

Also received this IXL Wostenholm razor in pretty good condition

 

Nice find!

 

I have a Muhle R89 coming to me. My main go-to razor is the Merkur 34C and I'm thinking the shave is comparable and I love the look of it.

 

A vintage Wostenholm I•X•L Sheffield razor (ca 1870-1890) arrived and it turned out to be in even better shape than anticipated. Horn scales in top shape, pins are good and just a little 'spit n' polish' is all that required on the big 11/16" wide blade—although the edge is a little rough near the nose. That'd be fixed during the honing process.

 

Geez, thanks for making MY IXL look like something the cat dragged in

 

Both nice razors! You only paid $30 for yours which is a very good deal. I paid a bit more...but it's a bigger razor.

 

Sweet!

 

Looks like that was sweet find

 

Gorgeous

 

Congratulations.

 

Thanks. I see a SOTD use in the not-too-distant future. Honing still to do. Thursday, maybe?
