    Thanks Jeff. You've talked me into it. :) Right now I'm in a very rare, and very temporary spending shock where I just spent a bunch of money, and I'm trying not to buy anything I don't really need... Wait, I'm over it.

    I'll order some proguard blades in January.

    Thanks Evan, Sent the link to Frugal Shave on Etsy he quoted me $15 shipped for 30 (Wanted to make it worth his while) so I've shared some with others.
    Some real classics there and I've already got 2 more soaps coming that fell under the "No longer available" so HAD to get it.............

    Hembree Not as pretty smelling

    Mail call from the house of Jim @jluc. Jim shipped this package out on the 27th of November and it just made it in.

    Jim was nice and throwed in a few extras beside the razor. A full tub of Simpson Shaving Cream and a few Barrister and Mann aftershave samples.

    I was thinking that the razor had the halo handle but I was mistaken. It has the Razorock bulldog handle. This will give me a matching set of Hawks...one with a SB and one with an OC.

    I did notice the instructions on the bottom if the Simpson soap. It says to use a Simpson Shaving Brush. Now I need a Simpson Brush. :D

    Thanks Jim for the extras and for letting the Hawk go. It is much appreciated.

    I've got a Feather ProGuard container with 5 or so blades, hard to count the little buggers in that itty bitty container. Just taking up space as I no longer use. Want it?

    That's funny. :) I completely understand. It took him 5 minutes or so to prep the job and it was the same amount of work making 2 as it was to make 30. The print took longer, but I'm sure he moved on to other things. ;) He's not getting rich. That's for sure.

    BTW, I have a batch of 30 running right now. Now I need to find a Gibbs razor. I mean, I have these inserts and they can't go to waste.

    jluc smelling pretty

    I was really starting to wonder if the razor would ever get there.
    I'm still thinking that it sat on a truck in Denver for weeks.

    Simpson sends a tin of the shave cream with the brushes. I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. I have two more that haven't been opened.

    Here, let me help. :rofl: Not as good a shape and replacement handles are available. Just use that as your leverage and talk him down like the car dealer :D

    Best bet is to search and include France eBay as it 's a French rasoir :happy088:

    :) As long as it's not too much effort putting it in the mail, that would be awesome. I doubt I'll need more than 3 or 4. I'm just looking to get the feel of the razor without slicing myself up.

    I'm 99.9% sure I could make a handle. In fact, I'm 100% sure. I've PM'd ebay sellers and gotten them to lower their prices before. :) But generally, I don't have enough destain for the profession to beat them up too bad. You're not a used car salesman, are you? If you are I'm sure you're the exception. :)

    Edit: That would be really odd for me to say a $15 pack of blades needs to wait for January then spend $100 on a razor. Let me ask @jluc. Jim any opinions? Maybe I need to take some Ambien. I'm somewhat sure I'll hunt for one in a few months. :) Thanks for the tips. Near term I have brushes to make.

    Hm4TA9Q.jpg IMG_20201222_145920561.jpg @MrEE There's a Gentlemen in South Africa that does some all brass handles that are longer so come with an extension. I just prefer the original handle for now but have the Brass spare too.
