Probably have 4 brushes waiting to finish for people plus others I'd like to get more work done on and they have been holding funds for 16 days.

That does sound pretty annoying.

Don't worry, I wasn't really offended. I just like that emoji thing

 

I'm offended enough by paypal for both of us!

Working on one now. It'll be my Halloween birthday brush.

 

Today I was pleasantly surprised and received my kickstarter - Travellr XL Leather Toiletry Bag. Really cool and worth the wait. The finish is very different from what I expected, nevertheless it is nice. Now I just need to plan a trip to the UP to see the fall colors.

I love it when eBay sellers can’t spell. This was listed as Wreck/Craftsman razors. They were taking offers and I made an offer that I was surprised they accepted. I did well.

I’m becoming a Craftsman collector
The Weck box
The “Wreck” razor

It’s actually a beautiful pre-1891 Wade and Butcher that looks to be unused

 

Wow...

Beautiful score.

Thank you. I lucked out on this one.

 

I love the looks of that Craftsman razor. Very nice!

 

Thank you Jim!

 

That was a great buy, 56 years is amazing! As we begin to downsize I'm looking at having better quality goods, now that we don't have kids, they are all grown up now. Whew!

 

Sweet! I received a sample of the Captain Smythe's Reserve, it smells great.

 

Goodness. I love that these old brushes get to see another day.

 

You did well.

 

Clauss straight razor showed up today and it seems to be plated as it is peeling off around the rusty areas. And picked up two of the Pacific razors from Dollar Tree. Also, but not pictured, a few days ago I ordered a re-usable filter for my Keurig to use my ground beans in. I was wondering why the package was a bit large and heavy. As it turned out, they sent me a whole package of six, not bad...........

 

Not shave related ...

Yesterday, I acquired a couple of bowls for lathering... from my wife. She got a couple of wooden bowls from a wood carver she knows with the Sons of Norway, and began the process to stain the wood prior to Rosemaling them (a traditional, decorative Norwegian folk style of painting on wood). It took a few weeks of prep work, painting, and sealing the bowls but she gave them to me yesterday and I started using them. They work great!

I've attached some before and after pictures.

 

Wow! That is very cool.
