Not shave related, but looking forward to them .... A dozen Duralex glasses from Costco for a nice price. I've been wanting them for a while and found them at a real reasonable price. Made in France and super durable!
BTW this first peaked my interest ... http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/lifestyle-duralex-picardie-glassware.50310/ and of course this didn't hurt ...
a gillette british new rfb with case .made for the french market. 2 wilkinson sword blue shave sticks. 50s british flaretip rocket razorock mamba stainless razor and many soaps and splashes from ib good times.....
I have a "Simmons Hardware" generic straight on the way, a stack of DisplayPort and HDMI adapters, a Fluke Pro 3000 to replace a stolen/missing one, and a Panasonic 18650 battery to repair my small 4 volt Ryobi screwdriver. Next will be to order a couple of gradiated hones.
I ordered a wooden handle swinglock shavette from an ebay vendor.Should have been here 3 days ago.(wednesday)Sent the vendor a message(friday) and have not heard back.If I don't hear back Monday I guess i'll contact ebay.After the item was overdue I looked at the vendors feedback and long shipping was noted in some.
I just won an auction on two Rolls Razors with rust on the blades - but completely intact hones! (one with a torn up strop, and missing a handle) I'll check the blades out, and probably see if @twhite wants a go at them. Once they're cleaned up, I'll see how many complete ones I can put together, and offer up the rest as parts. If I have more than two completely complete, I'll offer the extras up as well. I'm trying to get two fully functional ones together. One for me, and one to give away to my best friend of 30+ years. Oh yes, and a laptop battery.
I sent the seller a message Saturday and I'm not sure if it went through.I sent another one today(monday) and Ebay said give the vendor til thursday to respond.Hopefully he will respond Tuesday.I have not had any issues with Ebay transactions til now.
Packages from china are like finding a four leaf clover. You may find one or two quickly, but it will take forever if you really want it. Have patience, it will come.
Actually the guy is in Texas which is one of the reasons I ordered from him,At least that was the location in his ad page.I know items from india and china are hit and miss.When I order from those place I generally give it a month before I start worrying.This should have been here in 4-7 days.AND still no reply.
