I'm laughing because BM means something completely non-soap related to me. I assume you mean Barrister & Mann.
Waiting on 100 Astra SP's, courtesy of @americanshamrock and his Monty Hall impersonation. Great and very fun PIF!
I'm waiting on an adjustable Merkur progress. no pic, sorry, but y'all have seen them. I bought it from one of our den bros. if he wants he can add a pic. if he doesn't, I'll post a pic in the haul, when it arrives.
My updated waiting-for-list is; 1) A very dirty Lerseche (#31/32) 2) A Gillette Rocket (not quite sure what model) 3) A whole lot of razors (4-5+ of them) w/ some sort of Gillette Aristo)) bought as a lot 4) King Oscillating blades 5) An inexpensive $17 Gillette Rocket 6) A clean Leresche Model #31/32 7) A Le Tourise No. 2 (excited about that one) 8) Three Swedish razors: Strivel, Swing and Matador 9) A Gold Schick Krona with four other razors that came with the lot Realization: I need to shorten my "1 week 1 razor" to "2 days 1 razor" soon if I am to get through them ALL this year so I can sell off the majority of them.
Please do, they are tricky to date but if it's vintage it's often possible to get it down to a 10-15 year time frame at least.
My weekend list : A package of Schick injector blades Perlex shaving brush (France) Kabrand razor in original box Gibbs No15 in original box NOS Gibbs blades Vintage Merkur razor (bakelite base plate) Redox in original case An unidentified vintage razor from France (case has "Theo Razor" label inside case lid?
Some most amazing weekend purchases! Is it a straight or DE Kabrand? For the Gibbs remember that the blade mod can be super-easy: just cut off the blade edges
Well shaving purchase escalated quickly. I was going to wait at least a week but didn't last more than several hours. I'm joining the straight razor club and am waiting on a Whipped Dog sight unseen as well as a bench strop from the awesome @Drygulch . The bad part is I'm already looking for more stuff to buy...this never happened with DE....what's going on!?!?!?!?!?!?
The Kabrand is a DE in its original case. Ive been reading of the different mods for the Gibbs most of which are quite simple (once I get the use of my right hand back). Me and the Dremel don't get along left handed
a) I'm happy to see that your RAD has died down, b) That's a great looking razor - love the end of that handle.
There's a simple 10 secs mod that just requires a scissor and no fancy cutting (two straight cuts I believe). I can dig it up for you if you want it.
