Waiting for me to arrive. Have been on vacation this week. Non of my packages arrive before I left, so all kinds of goodies to play with when I get home. Including a new brush, or two, and some shave den soap.
Sure, I feel a little bit dirty tonight. I have said I wouldn't buy the Rockwell 6S razor due to the QA issues they had...buuuut......ended up getting one for $50. Used just a few times and supposedly it's a "good one". We'll see...cautiously optimistic....
Half full bottle of Old Spice Lime (which I can refill from the Indian stuff when it's gone; and a mostly full bottle of Old Spice Leather- which I've heard good things about.
I just placed an order again at Stirling Soaps for the last 2 remaining Glacial Obsidian shaving soaps!
I have a Whipped Dog Ivory 22mm handle, drilled an extra 10mm, with a silver tip knot ordered. I like short lofts and they are hard to find in standard brushes. If I like it, I may order a WD synthetic in the same size. Greg W.
happy happy happy I won I have a Berkeley shaver on the way I borrowed this image from Google images, I think it may be @Darkbulb 's the auction site wouldn't let me download the image of the one I actually bought. but it's very similar. mine is in the wooden box with the directions and blades.
Hey, grats on buying what I personally think is one of the best vintage DE razors out there. I did a write-up somewhere on the forum here if you want more of my ramblings about it. It seems big and kinda clumsy at first - but when you shave with it it all comes together miraculously. It's on the mild side but produces a fantastic shave. I'm keeping mine for good. Do post pics when you get it! If I remember correctly - speaking to the adjustable aspect of the razor - 'the lower the number the more aggressive the shave' but not 100% sure.
Enabler. Someone has one on eBay right now. BIN $49.99 or best offer. Seeing as how the insert and instructions were missing, I generously offered $35. The seller counteroffered $47. PASS!
I swear they used to be all over the place a year ago for 5-15 bucks. Now they seem to often start out at $75. Sigh, I hope this wetshaving craze dies down so prices on vintage shaving gear will drop
Cooper MonoBilts and Shake Sharps used to be cheap too. A pass around and some good reviews will do wonders to the price. I saw a boxed Cooper MonoBilt with the wrong blades sell for almost $200 last month. Shake Sharps used to sell for $25-35. Now they tend to go for $50 and up. Wetshaving forums are the bane of quiet collectors like you and I. *walks away whistling*
