    Simpson's Colonel X2L Manchurian in Faux Jade Handle arrived today!

    Little unboxing anticipation for you:

    I will give it an inaugural run tonight. Tabac Tuesday and all! First impressions are positive, and it has backbone in spades!

    I finally got out today to a few antique shops.

    This was from the nearby shop. Needs a little love, but only $12.

    From a localish shop. $20. I know what I'd like it to be, but there's no decal or markings of any kind IMG_20220823_210421_compress60.jpg .

    And from another shop, down the street from where I bought the brush.

    A headless Durham Duplex, with case and rusty old blades for $7.50. Awesome, since the handle is all you really want anyway...

    $12.

    Couple of I2 injectors, one with case, for $4 each.

    And a trove of brushes, all around $10-$20. I have a few "project" brushes already that I haven't gotten to, so I passed on these for now.

    Well , the Karve brass G plate arrived from Canada to Florida in less than a week, so that’s good. Since I typically shave every other day and shaved today (ATT S1) the G plate may get its first run Friday morning. Sturdy packaging!

    I actually have a complete one that I think will inhabit the case. If I do decide to move it along, I'll keep you in mind.

    I had thought about maybe 3d printing a case for the durham if I can find an STL for one ....

    If it has no markings on the bottom, it was probably made by Simpson for another market. I've bought a Simpson Tulip and Chubby 1 that were marked in German sold in an American PX in Germany the 50's.

    Nice fine!

    Great price on the lot, all half to full. FINALLY, I come across OS Lime in the wild. Good stuff.

    Anyone recognize the Roman on the right? Juice smells good but no label. Never saw him before, no useful info online.

    I would lean more towards Rooney or Kent. Simpsons never used that pattern that I'm aware of.

    I stand corrected sir, though it does have similarities to the Simpson Colonel X1L (early 70's) also the Kent (having inset lines), the Culmak and the Rooney

    I think the Culmak may have the closest match I could find. Though to be honest I swear they all were sharing their patterns at one time or another.

    I think it's high-time we at TSD got a full shave den photo. I am guessing you'll need a wide angle lens. :happy097:

    It would be very hard to get everything in one photo; I may do a group of photos showing my shave den.
