I'm waiting for the final part of my 1957 birth year collection. I have a Tech, Super Speed and a Red Tip. Now I'm waiting for the Blue Tip to join the group.
Waiting for four more NF brushes that will help to fill some gaps in my little collection. Three of the five New Forest wooden handle prototypes that Peter ever made (I know @Hodge has one so that leaves one floating around somewhere....) Apparently the reason why these weren't put into production was that Peter couldn't find a cost effective way to waterproof them in a way that he was happy with. In the photo below (from left to right): - 22mm 2 band in an Oak handle, - 2 band in an Tambootie handle, - 22m silvertip in Tambootie, and - a 1901 (which may be the very first 'travel brush' size that he made) Will post some more photos when they arrive.... "Join us....we're waiting for you......"
He can't possible have made an infinite amount of brush types. I'm gonna sit down and count next week....
Hooked on Beaver WoodWright products and informed that a few Ghost Ships back in stock and couldn't resist this one and couple of others: Ghost Shipis a smooth blend of Sandalwood, Grapefruit and Black Amber Queen Anne's Revenge: The top notes are blackcurrant, bergamot, apple, and pineapple. The middle notes are rose, jasmine, and patchouli. With the base notes being musk, oak moss, and vanilla Shiver Me Timbers: blend of Peppermint, Spearmint, Tea Tree and Menthol.
http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=s...3.TR0.TRC0.Xseller:unuta77&sqp=seller:unuta77 This seller has good reviews from the boys over in the U.K., I needed more Ladas blades (courtesy of TSD enablers) and with eBay bucks, I paid about $5 for 100 blades. Here's the thread for those interested: http://theshavingroom.co.uk/communi...rvice-from-unuta77-in-russia-as-always.35602/
Guy these sound like they smell incredible, especially with all the notes listed. Where can these be found buddy?
I buy mine direct from Kelly @ http://www.beaverwoodwright.com/. Also Shave Revolution sells some of Kelly's products.
I don't even know what to write. Congratulations? WOW? Probably the most fitting response would be I'm jealous... In all seriousness that is one awesome of a collection of brushes.
More blades: 10 Kai, 20 Gillette Wilkinson Sword, and 20 7 o'clock Permaasharp. Oh, and my soap (which had to be re-shipped due to the post office "losing" the first one).
I believe it's the same one RR and everyone else is using, this according to some reviews I've read. It is handsome for under $15 shipped.
