I fell off the wagon with another purchase. There was another razor I had really wanted but fell asleep and missed bidding. It sold for less than $6.

This one though has the shape I really love with a deep stamp and no pitting as far as I can tell.

I hate it when I miss something like that when I could have just put it in my snipe program & not had to worry about it!!!

Sorry. I had to take a pic of the chuck of my computer & it pixelated.

* Omega S10049 S-BRUSH PRO Synthetic Shaving Brush - Black

* SRD Soap samples. All but the unscented; since buying them together as a single pack wouldn't have saved me any money anyway .

A couple scents are already earmarked as "wet shaving gateway drugs" for any coworker willing to give them a try. "The first hit is always free !"

Just had an old Geo Wolstenholm & Sons straight razor restored and new bone scales put on it. It should be making its way back across the Pacific about now.

.... "you liked it, you wanna try a little more ????, ah come on the wife won't say nothing' , just intercept all mail "

An old bow strop I want to use as a template for making a few of my own.

As per the seller who is 78, this was his grandfathers who brought it with him from Germany.
Cost me more to ship than the win. But I wanted to make one of these for a while. Maybe a bunch as they seem quite handy and would make good gifts if I can find the right hide for them. I plan to turn the handles on the lathe and make them smooth on one side, and suede with diamond or crox on the other.
Cheers.
