I couldn't stand it. To top it off I was really bored last night. Bad combo. I am now awaiting a QShave razor. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
This morning I ordered 100 Shark Super Chrome for $9.99 from Razor Blades Club, along with a tuck of Sputnik and Timor. Shipping was free and they have a 6 to 9 day delivery window. Also ordered 100 GSB from the Zon. Heard from Herself and there are 5 Montecristo #4's in my future! No word on the shave soap yet.
Won some Ebay auctions lately - so now I'm waiting on - a Hellberg Eskilstuna straight razor - a Tückmar shavette - a Tückmar Weltruf straight razor and a pretty rotten paddle strop (offered as a bundle and the razor looked pretty good, got both for 10 €) I also bought a Schick Krona from someone on the German wet shaving forums and one bottle each of "Bello" Dominican Bay Rum and Bay Rum Lime After Shave Might sound as if I went a little bit overboard, but I paid less than 80 bucks altogether, so I consider that a pretty good deal Oh - and I'm still waiting for the RazoRock Baby Smooth I ordered almost a month ago. Apparently it got stuck in customs.
My fleamarket finds from today after some clean up. I let the mug soak in OxyClean for half an hour and then just washed it. The Rubberset brush I cleaned with baby shampoo and a toothbrush. From what I could find on the Web, the mug was manufactured between the '70's and 1992. Gonna take both for a spin tomorrow
Heard from Herself. This is the soap she found for me: Looks interesting. I'll definitely do a full review when I use it
Got this off the eBays. It's gonna be here Friday. Can't wait. Also got Gillette Silver Blues and Proraso Red that should be here tomorrow.
Excellent choice, looks in great shape. Whats the date code? BTW enjoy the shave ... start low and work up. Between 3 and 5 is very nice for me. The indicators measure blade exposure not manliness.
It is a 1959 E4. It reminded me of my fathers old Gillette so I had to have it! Damn shame his old razor got tossed out before it got into DE razors. I'm not gonna lie I can't wait to fidget with the settings haha
Thanks. Managed to balance spending and finding one In good shape. It even has the end cap on the TTO knob and looks from the pic that still opens nicely. Hopefully the adjustment dial still works great. Either way a good find for only $50
I have a couple of things coming, I bought another brush from EverShave on Etsy, a black handle tuxedo knot brush for $15 shipped, I have a clear handle from him and it's a heck of a deal. I used the sample of Edwin Jagger Cooling Menthol soap awhile back, really like it, a lot! So I ordered a jar of it.
