What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I have this coming, looks used but not abused. My first project razor. $13.00. The scales are nice and there is some engraving on the other side of the blade.

 

TOBS Eton College shave cream. I haven't tried the TOBS products yet and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.

 

There is one on the bay that is already up to $51.00. People are silly sometimes.....

 

One just sold for $70+...another has a BIN for $90...
I think another batch of 1.000 razors is dropping in a week or so.....for $20-25....

 

The free market is something else....

 

It's a real beauty!

 

Those are nice scales.

You have the welch stones, right?

 

Thanks, and yes I have the Welsh hones.

 

My first metal spinner.

Found a local guy who makes them for $45-65 shipped. I like the California state map he put on it

Here it is w/out the inner bearings insert installed;


The engravings are the California state map ( ) and the crossed arrows signifying friendship.

This is what this model looks like finished;


I really hope I like this spinning thing..or I now have a $65 paperweight...

 

I've been looking for a Geneva - nice find.

 

What are these used for?

 

They are just a type of fidget toy.
People use them for anything from stress, stopped smoking, not chewing on the nails, increase dexterity in fingers/hand, etc

They have become quite the fad this year and it's hard to walk around the city here without seeing someone spinning one of the many, many versions that are available out there.

Here are a couple of videos showing some uses/designs;

This is the spinner that started it all: "The Torqbar":


These FidgetCraft ones are very popular and sell for about $20:


Usage cases
Here's a couple of people talking about how and why they use them;




Just got an email from the maker w/ a video showing my spinner before he put it in the mail

Another single ring. Based on the case it should be either a 1905 or 1906. Heavy patina so I will use the alum foil baking soda treatment.

 

Waiting on this butterscotch Kent V5B (I assume the number is to indicate the brush size?) brush for $30.

Just won a bid tonight on Ebay for my birthday razor. This is also my first adjustable. M2 Gillette Slim - 1967. It looks in better shape then me in the photos! Earlier this week I received the Grackle DOC from PAA and shaved with it the first time this morning - I liked the feel with Personna Blue blades and although on the mild side, I enjoyed it.

 

Good job on the Slim. Great razor!

2 products from Clubman, only one of which pertains to shaving, though. 1)-Clubman Shave Soap....2)-Kent Pocket comb. I just put in the order a couple hours ago.

 

I broke down today and pre-ordered the Single Edge from Supply Provision. I have officially gone off the deep end into the injector pool.
