What are you waiting on to arrive...?

A stainless Rolls Razor in mediocre condition and I suspect it's missing the hone, but the box and case are in decent condition, and I suspect the spare blade is in near new condition. $13 + shipping

A NOS (or near enough) tin of strop dressing for a little over $10 shipped.

First shaving related purchases I've done in a while. Both are backups for existing items in my collection. The Stainless Rolls Imperial No. 3 are quite rare, even if it doesn't seem like it, since one or two are always on eBay, along with hundreds, if not thousands, of nickel plated brass Imperial No. 2's and aluminum Viscount models, along with a smattering of gold or silver plated models.

It's a pity I never got on with the Rolls in my early wet shaving days. I would have gotten a nice head start on building a collection.

 

Ditto.
A vintage NOS Spear & Jackson machete for clearing blackberry bushes.

I believe this is the style called a 'tapanga,' common in parts of Africa.

Not my first choice, but a solid second.

 

Stag Co. Razor Stropper. One of the few out of the box stropper designs that work with Rolls Razor blades.

I used to have one of these, albeit it was the earlier rarer model with a single wheel. I think I sent that one off to Tom @twhite for a seven day single edge set he was making that used Rolls blades.

I don't mind hand honing rolls blades, but I've been curious about Arkansas edges, and honing on Arkansas stones is a slow and tedious process, especially when you have to pick up and flip a postage stamp sized blade with no handle. This ought to make that particular chore less onerous.

Currently on the 'bay:

While I can appreciate the beautiful lithography of the outer box, the price ($400+), likely means this example will linger for a while.

The one I just ordered at least comes with the original stone, for whatever that's worth. These typically go for about $25, +/- $5, in decent shape.

 

The bill hook is a favorite of English gardeners for hedgerow maintenance.

My personal favorite is a Senegalese machete, issued to colonial French forces during WW1 and WW2. Has a 1/4" thick spine. Heavy as all get out but clears brush like a champ. Hard to find for a decent price.
