A no name but nice bakelite handle for the Clix.

 

Took a look at the status of the original Wolfman package that was considered lost.
It was shipped from Canada on Nov 7th and just recently arrived in Chicago - after a month.
It is now bouncing around in Chicago but...if you look at the zip code at it's current location I think we have the answer to why this package has been so challenging...it's obviously cursed...

 

Ooooooo "666" mark of the beast. That's a long time to wait for something. Bet you can't wait to get it. Christmas coming early lol

 

Did you get a replacement order? And if you did, what happens when you get this? Lol send it back and wait to see if it takes a couple of months for it to get back?

 

Yeah I got a replacement order that arrived a few days ago.
Still need to figure out what I should do with these two handles as James have given me two options;
1) Buy and keep the two spare Darwin handles in this package (one polished and one satin), or
2) Return them to him.

With the speed of this cursed package I'm sure I have another month or so to make up my mind though.

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much were they?

 

The Darwin handles were CAD 150 each (or about USD 115).

Part of me is thinking I should just keep them and put them up on eBay and see if I can make a bit of profit on them but I'd quite honestly feel bad buying them just to re-sell them profit or not.

 

That's a tough call. I know people are starting to talk about that very thing. The Paladin brushes are being bought to resell due to scarcity and people are upset by that.

 

Speaking of Paladin:
"@PaladinShaving: We aim to release another 40 brushes on Sunday, December 11 at 2:00 PM Central."

 

Waiting on the Satin version of the RR Hawk SE razor that dropped today.

 

With Queen Charlotte Soaps (QCS) sadly having announced that they are closing shop I picked up a few soaps such as their excellent Green Irish Tweed body soap;

 

The three piece I have on the way turns out to be a "1932" Canadian Tech with triangular slots...have seen this discussed many times but never followed the differences in Techs. For $10, I got it for the handle but apparently it's a good razor head too.

Here's a pic of one like I have coming; not the usual black Gillette handle with the slight flare at the end. Handle should pair well with the Clix but now I'm curious about the shave of the '32.

 

I had an order from Minnesota (to Austin) travel to New Jersey for some reason. My Ranger hybrid spent two days in Austin before being delivered...geez, I'm like 8 blocks from the post office! And now, my '40 Milord, coming from Michigan, went to Houston. Kinda overshot its target a bit.

 

Delayed in the Amazon Blackhole.
