I found a stash of William soap pucks, so I stocked up. That stuff has endless lather coming from my new scuttle.[emoji106]

Not really, Haha. Found that barber hone you were talking about, I think. A Griffon XX, Carbomegnetic, and an unusual Boker swayback with a smiling edge.

Barber hone is a double sided hone. Name is an Ahconite, made in US.

Awesome, pseudo-spontaneous lil GTG. Thanks for putting it together Mike!
Great seeing some new faces, as well as the old mugs at the table!
Sad Andrew skimped on the brush bling, but the burgers made up for the hole in my stomach, hehe.

Next time Andrew!! I want one of those Seed pod ones you made..

Cheers gents!

So today I took my new gear and knowledge to the shave den, I decided to go all out this morning. Started off with a hot towel and used my new scuttle and the razor I got from Mcbladescar. First off the warm lather from the scuttle was amazing, kept the lather and brush warm for the whole shave. The razor worked great and I had the best shave with it so far. I decided to take my Torry and polish it with the Barbour hone and strop it, it is now better then ever. Again thanks for the guidance received yesterday, I was happy to successfully put it to use today. The Williams soap, well all I can say is for $2 WOW!

For those of you how like Williams for shaving, I scored 13 pucks. Now if that guy from Baden would leave some good stuff for me at the local antique spots I can start finding more gear.

I'll keep off your turf in Stratford, but I can't stay away from South works in Cambridge..... that's a hint BTW. :)

Definitely not my turf, good for you to find razors. I'm not ready to start restoration or honing from dull yet anyway[emoji3]

Did you score 13 vintage pucks of Williams or the modern stuff?
11-22-2015, 05:48 PM
maliboy67

Just the modern stuff but it seems hard to find and @$1.80 a puck I figured what I don't use I can gift or pay it forward to someone who likes it.

You got that right! My Barber had a Wade&Butcher in a Joseph Rodgers Box, I bought it for $50.00 its a 6/8th with a barbers notch, Post 1891 because it says England on it. Then the other day score a Krusius Brothers 5/8th's with a Barbers Notch at a Antique Store for $25.00. I need to find my camera and get a Photobucket Account.
