Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

Wow. Another stunning razor Jamie.

Well I abandoned the auction on the M&F shaving brush, just wasn't prepared to go that high, so I found solace in a new Rooney Heritage Collection Emillion 2 Super Badger Handmade Shaving Brush - is scheduled to be here tomorrow, and will have three days of beard and a 9/8 Wade and Butcher for the test run.

My first Rooney!

Jamie my good friend.............when are you NOT waiting on something to arrive!

Will have a Robert Williams in the mail to me at the end of the week. Just got an Otto Busch Weltmeister Rostfrei Eisgehartet /865. Sent it to Doc for some honing.

Just won a bunch of japanese straights in a tired lot.


Couple of them look interesting. Not a bad price so it was worth the chance.
Maybe the lot# scared folks off. Not complaining though..
Winters coming and I will be wanting to keep busy, hehe.
Winters dark, and full of razors..

They look in very good condition - great buy, and that looks like a FON(?) the first one??? If it is, I understand those to be excellent Japanese straights....they all look really good though, almost a good polish, cleaning and they're ready for the stones.

Just added a close up, and yes I think it is a Fon phrank.
That one on the left, first pic is a "G" TOWA "T" as well, which I also have read good things about.
The Bengal may be too narrow to save, but I'm happy with the lot.
Thanks.

Hi everybody, I'm new to straight razor shaving, been learning "on the job" for nearly three months now. I have to say, what I first viewed as a ceremony (some quiet, gadget-free "me time") to be indulged on the weekends, has become a fairly practical method of daily shaving. I still have a hard time going nick-free on the chin, and won't be considering the "fool's pass" anytime soon. But I have built up a bit of confidence and am getting to know my face a lot better. So, I was browsing SRD and couldn't help but put in the order for a Esbjerg-Koorat 6/8"s. Just got it today and can't wait to give it a go. Thanks to everyone for their wisdom.

Picked this old shave bowl up from a seller in Ontario on eBay, and it has a puck of soap in it too! Will have to see if that soap is good to go....or not...never heard of the stuff.

Ha, I was watching that Phrank. Almost out a bid on it, but glad you got it.
