    I thought $24 shipped seemed fair. Especially since ive been wanting to try out williams menthol.

    Waiting on some replates to come back. A short combed new that will go in my Bostonian case for display, an old type for a pocket case, and a new short comb plated in Palladium as one to be put into rotation.

    Backroads does a really good job. My replates are pretty much for me. I would never try to sell them as original, but I really like shaving with a freshly plated vintage piece of gear.

    Yup yup I feel the same way. I’ve sold replated it in the past but I identify them as that. I’ve never tried to pass them off as original.

    Great looking brush. That looks like something Timothy Abernathy would do.

    Waiting on a new White & Foster collaboration, "The Skeletorama Razor."

    Exploring some new concepts, nothing too outrageously out of the box, but it will be definitely different than your average razor.

    At this time, it looks to be made primarily from 17-4 PH stainless sheet, stainless, and brass sheet.

    The concept is "can an adjustable razor be built using mostly off the shelf parts and common hand tools, and be just as good looking and performing as modern stainless razors?" A 'DIY kit razor,' if you will. Almost modular, with room for creative and artistic freedom. A real handyman type weekend project.

    It's also a skeletonized design, both in the head and handle, hence the odd razor name. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for updates.

    I'm going to sit on the parts list for now, but the tool list is pretty straightforward thus far.

    10-32 tap and die
    Jeweler's coping saw
    Hand drill
    #55 drill bit
    #21 (or 5/32") drill bit
    1/16" drill bit
    Countersink bit
    Glasses repair screwdriver kit
    Mill File
    Sandpaper
    Adjustable offset wrench (Cresent wrench)

    Tom is going to make the template design at work, but is going to be doing the fabrication at home, as proof of concept, primarily using the above list of hand tools. (Edit: and probably a drill press to speed up the process).

    An SE single edge "Skeletorabbit" might be in the works too, if this concept proves to be workable.

    Edit: I'll tease some parts. 40mm slim watch spring posts for guard bars and cap bars. Motherboard stand-offs for some of the handle parts. Many of the other pieces are much the same, inexpensive, easily found, off the shelf parts.
