What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Good Stuff!

 

Love me some Tabac! Enjoy it!

Very nice! You should really enjoy it. I like to face lather Route 66 with a loaded synthetic, and it produces consistently good lather and has a great post-shave skinfeel.

 

Not shave related, but I had to share. This baby is on the truck to be delivered later today! 2014 G&L L2500 got in trade.

 

That is a SWEET bass! I had an L5500 that I sorely miss.

Hoshi Tombo 6000 - asymmetrical kamisori grind 6/8"

 

My first vintage razor purchase came today. A Gillette J2 Slim Adjustble which I picked up for $20. Razor is super clean with almost no marks.

 

Very pretty

Congrats!

 

That is incredible looking.
How do you like using Kamisori blades?

There's good news about that. Injectors are not as competitively sought on auction sites. Prices are generally less than vintage Gillettes. Also the blades used for injectors are thicker giving more shaves than most DE blades.

 

Love the scary keeness of the edges they take. It really keeps you focused during the shave. The heel and toe on this Hoshi looks slightly muted so that should make shaving with it somewhat less precarious. Using an asymmetrical kamisori takes a little practice, particularly if one shaves with it in the 'traditional' style (stamp side always facing outwards). I have done it in that fashion and with using both sides. Good shaves either way— but I like the challenge sometimes of the traditional kami method. One note on this Hoshi: its a standard kami grind, and I'm used to a left-handed kami grind so I'll have to practice with it if I want to do the traditional approach using my off (right) hand.

I imagine shaving with a symmetrical (western-grind) is very akin to a standard SR.

 

I have noticed that. I'm thinking about not shaving tomorrow so I'll have a good growth to test when mine comes in on Friday.

I got my confirmation today, so in four to six weeks I should have two new Koraat razors from a group buy, with a 25% discount, and 20% taxes off I don't pay because I am not in Europe. Great deal. Mine will have nickel hardware, with the hollow Spanish point in light brown horn, and the quarter hollow French point in black horn.

 

Wow.

 

Just got my Tabac. I like the scent. Reminds me of a mix between Vitalis hair tonic and English Leather.
