What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Another vintage USA made brush in the queue for restoration

 

A Duke 1 in Best and a Travel Tube, a Schick Krona and a 74 SS from jmaier.

 

Can you give me an idea about aggresiveness? What are your thoughts? Also do you have photos of the razor assembled? I realize there are photos on the internet but they are all prototypes. Yours is the first production model I have seen!
Thanks,
Jeremy

and more then likely 1 x standard issued sleeping cot when the wife finds out I ordered more shaving stuff...

 

You don't really see the Schick DE twin blades that often but for some strange reason they are currently all over eBay.
I didn't want to get a large quantity of them as I've never tried them before so ended up spending $4 on this small pack.

Since the Schick injector twinblades is hands down my favorite injector blade...I'm curious to see what they could do with the traditional DE blade



Also decided it was a wise thing to spend $6 on these three cartridge handles.
I believe the two silvery ones are both Sensor ones - but the one I was really after is the Schick Slim Twin.
A surprisingly hard razor to get hold of and when they come up they are often NIB and about $30-50.


So, @Sabre what cartridge should I use with it?

 

The SlimTwin will only really accept a SlimTwin cart, some state it is an Atra compatible but I had trouble using them on mine. The Sensor will accept Sensor, Sensor Excel, Sensor 3 and Blue3/Custom Plus 3 disposables. I currently use the Sensor 3 on mine. They will also accept Personna Tri-Flexx carts.

Shouldn't you be using your Sensor Gold Plated Limited Edition?

 

Ah, thanks. I do see a slew of SlimTwin cartridges on the bay....

And yeah, the Gold LE...it sure is purty...now I can't remember if I used it or not!

 

I just checked my USPS Dashboard, they have completed sorting, and I am getting four packages today.

1. Tamulosin (it is the generic for Flowmax, some of you older gentlemen will be familiar with that)
2. Some vintage single edge blades
3. Three Maggard synthetic knots
4. The Bunny

 

Very pretty!

 

Awaiting the arrival of this unique 7/8" carbon steel razor made in Sheffield in the first half of the 19th century. Marshes & Shepherd.
In need of some minor restoration….

 

I met the owner and creator of these brushes at the KC Wetshaver's meet up a few weeks ago. He just got his website up and going this week. Beautiful brush!

 

I just ordered a Semogue 830 boar brush after receiving, using, and really liking the 620. These two similar but different brushes will be my main two brushes, used on alternate days allowing for full dry time.

 

Thanks Adam. On day one of the website, all available brushes were sold.

 

I'm waiting on 2pm to arrive, so I can crawl out of this hole I work it. Then, make it home in one piece and find my Maggard's knot & Aristocrat in the mail box.

 

I need a cupboard...

 

No cleaning required sir! Load blade and shave! Great score!

 

That's Pristine Mint..

I just pressed the button on this Shave Ready Friedrick Herder 6/8th Made in Solingen Germany in the Late 1800 s..This Company has an interesting History in that they were making Battle Swords During the 30 Year Reformation War In Europe ..I have hears it said that these Old Herders take a Keen Edge & just Couldn't resist this Beautiful Piece of German Steel..I got it from a Reputable EBay Seller in Sweden at what I think was a Reasonable Price..This Seller has some Stonkin SRs

Billy..

 

Wow, that's really nice. I think the spades are awesome.
