What are you waiting on to arrive...?

That razor and scuttle combo would look great on some SOTD'S!

 

Amazon had a decent price on a Feather AS D2 so of course I ordered one $141 US shipped.

 

Thanks yeah I'm really looking forward to putting the scuttle to use.
I'm thinking it being pewter it should be able to hold/keep heat pretty well.

 

Only one way to find out.

 

It ended a couple of days ago.

 

Well you gave it a shot anyway. Personally I enjoy my little purchases!

 

Just picked up a Merkur 39c "Sledgehammer" slant on Amazon for less than $40 and free shipping.

 

You will love it! Plenty of backbone,soft as a feather, heavy with a custom brush feel.

It's been a busy month-I've got a few things coming my way.
A puck of Tabac, slowly making it's way across the Pacific
200 Voskhod Blades coming from Mother Russia-my daily driver blades that are thankfully some of the cheapest around.
100 Personna Platinum's (my "special shave" de's)
2 pucks of B&M unscented and 1 puck of Chiseled Face Trade Winds (Men's essentials Canada was having a sale)
A couple samples coming in the mail.

I tell myself these were all bought at the right time to save money, but my credit card is still somewhat warm to the touch right now. Have to reign in my consumerist habits.

 

Seems to be my weekend of scuttles....this one a tad older than the Sheffield one. It's from around 1914 (engraved 9/1/14) and made by "Steward Dawson" in England.

Looks like it's in pretty good condition for its age and should clean up rather well before I put it back in use

Second photo shows the scale a bit - it's smaller than what the first picture may have you believe.

A rather unique IXL frameback razor from George Wostenholm & Sons; Imported by Layman & Carey co. ofIndianapolis (ca. 1873-1915). The razor dates anywhere from 1873 to 1889.
I like the unusual tang design with the deep thumb jimps.

 

Fancy!

 

That's a stunner. Wow.

 

Mid-fancy maybe I like it though. Nice size.

 

The style is quite elegant. Love the overall design of it.

 

Well thank you sir. Maybe 30 bucks well spent. We'll see when it gets here

 

Congrats gentlemen. Looks like Darkbulb is also the scuttle hoarder.

 

oh man, that entenmanns box in the background!!!!... I miss those soooo much

 

Funny thing...that was one of the first things I noticed as well in that photo...
