The Haul. May 2016

It's beautiful Martin! I recently purchased one myself and love it, wonderful shaver, shaving again with it tomorrow actually. Enjoy buddy.

 

Very nice! They are nice shavers. Enjoy.

 

Got some lose straights to play with. I see sanding and scale making in my future.

 

Looks like fun! Are you going to horde them all when you finish them ?

 

No, I need to replenish my paypal account for all the razors I have been buying. Including these I have over 50 straights right now. Four of them are wedges, so I might have a hard time letting them go, but will find new homes for the rest of them.

 

My Type F injector arrived today. Good shape this one! I need to get to work getting it cleaned for tomorrow's shave.

 

Great score.

Thanks Mr. Rod!

 

Thanks to Ryan @PLANofMAN and Alan @Morman Bridge I now have my first piece of unobtainium! A beautiful Cooper MonoBilt!

 

It's beautiful Andrew! Enjoy buddy!

 

Congrats!

 

It's a beautiful razor.

 

I had long ago outgrown my 6 clamp rubber stamp holder so I was pleased today to happen upon a 2 tier 14 clamp in good shape and in the right color for my bathroom.





And completely unrelated to shaving, but at the same store, I happened across a nice addition to another morning ritual; coffee.
A very nice (NOS) glass 8 cup percolator. I've got my eye out for a glass vacuum coffee maker but in the mean time, these make a very smooth cup of joe (or tea).

 

Got this handle from Scott at L&L Grooming today.

It's my first experience with Scott and I'm very impressed!

Very cool guy to work with.

 

How lovely Lance! What are you placing in it for a knot?

 

Beautiful!

 

Fantastic. Congrats, she is a beauty.

 

Thanks guys!

This one will be making a trip to London for the knot
