What are you waiting on to arrive...?

no Sweeny Todd?
nice haul, very clean sweep.

 

Not yet.

 

Put in a low offer on this Schick and ended up getting it.
Looks like all it needs is a good cleaning.

​

 

Looks in good condition. Congratulations!

 

Thanks. I think it's an "N" but not 100% sure

 

I don't know anything about these razors.

 

Also, on another bid, was able to get a rather different, to me at least, shaving mug.
Patented in 1910 by the Dowd-Rodgers Co (#285) a silver quadruple plated shaving mug with a built-in brush holder AND mirror.
For $30 it felt like a good deal.

Here it's in its folded-down state with the brush holder visible at the bottom:


Then, ta-da, it folds up to reveal a mirror that can be positioned over the shaving bowl.


From behind:


And dismantled a bit:


Really looking forward to getting it next week, cleaning it up...and putting it back to work!!

 

Beautiful bowl and a unique design. You are having a good week.

 

Just awesome Darkbulb what a wonderful find! Enjoy

 

$15 later I got this white, cased Schick on its way to me.

Inspired by a few forum posts I've seen recently, I applied my mediocre CAD abilities to design a brush handle that I'm having 3d printed. For this initial test, I went with a simple, smaller Chubby-inspired handle to accommodate a 22mm knot. I found a local printer that was able to print it in Bamboofill (20% bamboo, 80% PLA plastic), which can be sanded and stained like wood. Pictures to come after I pick it up tomorrow, but I'm leaning toward a satin polyurethane finish and a WD high mountain badger knot.
If this test run goes well, this intersection of hobbies could pose a serious threat to the bank account.

Your on a roll.

 

Your cleaning house!

 

Waiting on two Fitjar shaving brushes - #2233 Super Badger on left, #2190 Pure Badger with travel tube on right

​

 

Good looking brushes.

 

Very sharp looking brushes

 

Thanks, they will be nice mementos as the old Fitjar seagull logo will be discontinued.

 

What a shame that logo is esthetically pleasing
