Thread: What shaving gear on your list ?

As we are getting towards that time of year for giving and receiving I wonder what is on some of your wish lists...shaving that is..not Ferraris..super yachts etc..

Gary

1) That Ebony/Sterling 24mm Silvertip brush/stand that Matt's making for me
2) A 1750rpm grinder/belt-sander combo (at least I can dream)
3) Radial bristle disks for my rotary tool
4) A 7/8 and an 8/8 to have all of the sizes available but this is not much of a priority as I'm satisfied with my whole rotation, which is more than large enough with a couple of spares on top.

In all honesty, the only thing I'd really "need" is that brush from Matt to be absolutely satisfied with everything I've got. I'm more preoccupied with the gifts that I'll be sending out lol.

I'm debating between Tony's new bench strop and/or a latigo hanging strop.

Of course with a new strop, you need a new razor!

That's it. Really. Nothing else. Except for maybe a few soaps from Colleen.

1. Maestro Takeda Damascus in 8/8 with either Olive Briar or Crust Ivory scales depending on how flush/stupid I am when I order it.

2. Either a TI Piers Thiers LE handforged, or a Henckels Friodur to send to Gary for new scales. But this won't happen if I order the Maestro.

Yeah , I'm with Iwan. I'd take any high end TI. Failing that, I'd be happy with another antique Sheffield.

oohhh pretty....I wanted that one too a while ago but couldn't afoord spending around $50 extra for scales. So I want with the Red stamina...you won't be dissapointed with that blade though.

Alex, my problem is the Red Stamina I want is $199! Oh, the humanity!

Peace on earth and good will to men
But, seriously, I'd like a Dremel tool with all the bells and whistles. Also all manner of sandpaper, steel wool and other razor restoration supplies, Urleebird's restoration CD and some time off from my job to start working on restoring some of my acquisitions.

Interesting replies.

I'm now completely satisfied with my new job, the stress removed etc..and my biggest wish is that you all have a splendid time, give more than you expect to receive and love those closest to you.

Oh yeah..nearly forgot...a new brush....maybe a whizbang gizmo for the workshop...some gucci style pinning thingies..you get the picture.
