What are you waiting on to arrive...?

A post-Christmas arrival: two lovely Japanese straight razors from fellow TSD member Mike (entropy1049); both high-quality and shave-ready!

Very nice blades Kevin...congrats.

I look forward to trying Japanese steel one day....

 

very nice, they are minty.
but why post, has Christmas come and gone over on that side of the country?

 

Is it stainless steel?

 

They'll arrive some time after Christmas….

 

Hello all, the last razor I ordered before committing to NB 2016 arrived today! I believe it to be a 1950 Gillette Aristocrat. The reason I say 1950 is the date on the blades in the dispenser is date code V-3. The seller said it had never been used, but it has. All the varnish has been cleaned off, and there are several used blades in the dispenser. It's all good though, the razor and case are still pristine. No scratches or anything. So I'm not waiting on this item anymore. Here's a couple of photos-





Have a great Christmas everyone!

 

What a fantastic purchase, it's in perfect condition. Right now the aristocrat is my favorite razor. Enjoy Merry Christmas

 

Hello Robyflexx, thanks for the compliments and the Christmas well wishes. I'm very happy with this purchase. The last one of these I had I gave to my brother. I thought I was going to have to spend big to replace it, and although this one was $90, it was very reasonable considering the condition. It had a BIN before the auction started of $150, so I saved some money going with the auction. I'm happy now!!! Have a happy holiday, and God Bless!

 

Super score and wise move on your part.

 

Thank You!

 

oh I understand, thought you had them. my mistake. they are very beautiful.

 

Another one of these here brushes....
This one might end up in someone else's den though.

​

 

So it was you? I knew you couldn't resist...lol

 

$29 was just too good a deal for a brush that I know how good it is
This one might not find a final home in my lil den though but may see its way to a friend's place.

 

I was on the fence when it was 35...then at 29...it was already gone...lol.

A friends place...thanks man.

Pm'ing you my address....lol

 

hi friend

 

Ah, as the old saying goes "A man with many brushes will always have good friends"

 

Also picked up these two "Ethnos" versions of the Wilkinson Protector because I really like how they look
They are also the German 'Metal' version so I'm hoping they will have the same heavy metal feel as my other Metal Protectors.

Christmas gift and won auction.
looks like the cadet tto14,I love so much, so I got a spare.
my family knows what I like, so they got me a mto. actually I didn't have one, so it was a thoughtful gift.

 

While DD and I were at Star Wars, I ended up winning an auction for this (seller's photo):

It's my first injector. Type J, right? Wondering what I'm getting myself into. Now I've got to get some blades...
