Henckels Friodur 15/16, worked back, faux MOP scales, spanish point from Klaus! Lovely chunk of steel! Though, I think a rescale is in order, to something more suiting than plastic MOP imitation. And a complementary vintage Australian shavingstick! Smells really promising, and has the highest recommendations from Klaus!
Interesting - I really like the look of the scales, but some wood-scales would look even better Good to know it arrived safely! My haul today: - Nagura - 80x-microscope - TI Loup&Belier 6/8 - Chinese Meatchopper - washers for pinning scales - 4m of Japanese sword-handle-wrap-band for my Iwasaki
Nice haul Klaus! Forgot my "other" haul in my hapiness over the Friodur; Washers: 1000 #0 Brass 1000 #0 Brass - Wide 200 #0 Nylon
2200 washers???? Dang, I only bought 1200 total..... Still waiting for my 600 pins to arrive.... @sachin: Yeah, it's a great razor, even though it was quite a challenge to hone, came with very uneven hone-wear on both sides... @Tad: thanks, I like it too, already chopped some onions with it.
My mailbox was full today. I had 3 boxes stuffed inside. Box# 1 a plastic doll stand (not shown) for my vintage (1964) G.I. Joe. Box # 2 my order from Ogallala Bay Rum: 2 pucks Bay Rum soap 1 huge bottle of Bay Rum A/S Skin Toner sample size bottle of Limes & Peppercorn sample size bottle of Bay Rum Cologne sample size bottle of Bay Rum & Sandalwood sample puck of Bay Rum & Lemon Grass Box # 3 a Hero 616 fountain pen, the Chinese version of the Parker 51. This was a gift from a friend.
Very nice haul with the fountain pen. I have a few Heros my self. You should pick your self up some noodlers ink for that thing!

Thanks! I had originally purchased a Parker Frontier and a member of another forum pm'd me and told me I needed to try the Hero. I've got a couple of more on the way. One is being restored, it's a Parkston that I picked up at a flea market for 5.00,and one that I stole on ebay, a Parker 51 vacumatic which I got for 35.00. I have the Parker traded already, for another Parker 51 Vacumatic that has been restored already. The gentleman who offered the trade needed the color barrel that I had bought, as he had cracked the barrel of a customers pen.
If I could think of two scents that do not go together in the slightest (at least to me)... I'd be hard-pressed to come up with another two. Ugh. Glad you seem to like it. However, here on Earth we do things a bit differently.
