I ordered a pair of used Naniwa stones in 3k and 5k that have been glued together in a combo stone. Since these stones are more consistent for me to use than my natural stones with slurry, it should help me get the edge I am looking for on my straights. I also ordered three pastes of a proprietary blend from the same shop. He uses them to further refine and polish an edge after final hone. I need to make a paste strop now, but am excited to try these.

Also ordered another 100 Russian DE blades. Which for the amount of DE shaving I do is about a 20 year supply.

Which Russian DE blades did you order Adam?

Rapira Swedish Supersteel DE blades. I finally tried them last week after having some for a year. Good stuff, and it was like $8.50 shipped.

Those are sweet, they work super nice in my R41...good purchase brother.

I almost purchased one of those dorco razors yesterday .. But then I remember how bad the dorco blades were when I got my weishi. So I passed

It probably shaves like the Wilkinson Sword very mild.

I was planning on using one as a travel razor possibly. In any case the reviews above are favorable and it seems they take to a shim very well. Im guessing that they will pair perfectly with a nice sharp blade

I wonder if they're like the Wilkinson Sword and the feather popular the Wilkinson Sword seems best with the Wilkinson Sword blade the feather popular shines with a feather blade. Soooooo maybe you should try the Dorko with a Dorko blade???

Just curious, what store were you at ?

I was in a Chinese supermarket that I visit to collect from. I'm an asset recovery rep and they are my customer. I was just browsing while waiting to get loaded and saw the razors.
I was in Southern California in a city call San Gabriel .

Rockwell 6S V2, goofy shave mug from an auction, Syn brush and Poraso from IB. Stalking the UPS truck as we speak...

Cant wait to hear your review on the rockwell

Looks like I'm going to need a butterscotch handled brush:

Nice score I've been keeping my eye for a E1 in the wild but have never seen a Canadian version.

It went to the right person

This is only the 2nd one that I have ever seen up for grabs..
