The Haul: January 2016

Blackbird DE Razor

 

Just in from China in just 10 days. Three black badger and two synthetic knots. Now I can finish up four brushes.


Here are the four handles with dry fittings. Left to right, walnut with pure badger, osage orange with horse hair, walnut with black badger, osage orange with synthetic. This is just one of many combinations. I haven't decided to set them yet, but it is nice to have options.

 

That case is amazing. I've never seen anything like it. It's looks custom.

 

Sehr gut, Junge. Hast du alle drei X Seifen?

 

You can find those blades online or at Walgreens. Personna makes them. I bought 10 for under $4 at Walgreens. It's a fine shaver and is a nice change of pace. Expect a DFS from it.

 

This injector arrived today.. Nice set from what I can see, mint or close to it!

 

Mike, how awesome, instruction booklet and everything! Enjoy

 

Man oh man, those brushes are gorgeous

 

Nice work my friend!

 

Thank you!

 

Jim there all so lovely it's maddening to pick a favorite. The third one from the left sure is sweet though.

 

Thanks, Rob, I like 'em all.

 

Thank you, Mike, I love doing it.

 

Thanks, @Darkbulb . Here are some cookies.

 

Are those display pieces, or do you use them all?

 

Everything in the cases for display. I shave daily with a 1941 Ranger tech with a new blade.

 

Two NOS Wusthofs both 7/8 one a Barbers King and the other a Trident in butter scotch three pin set up.

 

Nice, curious on how these synthetics compare to WD Synthetic or Ubersoft 2 and similar.

 

Stay tuned. I will have my first shave with it on the 15th. I will let you know.
