It's been a very busy few weeks, notable for its frantic phonecalls and wildly impulsive, but perfectly reasonable decisions. And while I promise to post the photos of what I consider excellent acquisitions, I'm not in possession of all my rocks (both literally and figuratively.)

So, from having a only a single Coticule, I've picked up a Cotcarb (for the kitchen), a 1880's vintage Tam O'Shanter in an old Smith box, a Dragon's Tongue on order from Inigo, a Charnley Forest from a very nice woodworker, and an old English Aloxite barber's hone. I've recently relocated from the US to the UK, and am focusing mostly on UK items, razors included.

Restoring and maintaining the dozen or so razors I have should become a great deal more interesting.
