Well this came, and it is little! Smaller than the Vander Hagen I had, but man does it lather. I have a small face, so I am keeping it

From Maggard i have a Cjb shavette, their new open comb DE head with an mr5 handle, and some through the fire soap samples. From Connaught shaving I've got red IPs, feather de and pro super single edge. Maggard again shipped the same day I ordered. It's my third or fourth order from and their service is always great :-)
Email from Torolf today,
My new Strops on its way in the mail now
The Anticipations mounting.
Well my SRAD went into high gear today. I have a Hart bellied hollow, a T-I Silver Steel with imitation tortoise shell scales, a Ralf Aust with horn scales, a Boker Silver Steel and imitation tortoise (didn't realize I had a tortoise AD), a SRD paddle strop, a bridle leather and linen strop, and some chromium oxide spray. Can I get a loan?
On the advice of our friend Hirlau, I finally ordered some Clubman Classic Vanilla.

Pulled the rip cord, and clicked the BIN on this one this morning. Sat on the bay for a week unclaimed so clearly it's a dog in the bog right now. But with some TLC, new scales, and a bit of luck, should be a fine FBU.

My first one so nothing to compare it to either way. :)
Cheers.
MikeB52, I'm sure you'll do another fantastic restore on this big beauty. Looking forward to seeing her in her new clothes!
