I will put on the back burner my Norton 220/ 1K and go for my new bevel setter
Because the group speaks highly on this one.
So then I need a lapping plate and cant afford the DMT Lapping plate right now.
Trusty rust DMT325 will not be a stepchild with freckles to anyone.
So I got an additional lapping plate.
What do we know about this lapping plate??
Your only as good as your last hone job.

Arrived from the orient today safe and sound.
The TOWA's a western grind, the other two look sort of kamisori-like with a curved blade and a fatter backside. Very cool looking, didn't see the profile in the images when I bought em.
Not sure how to hone em either, like a western or a kamisori?

Why get just one custom blade when 3 or 4 current production razors would be better for the collection?

Always get what you fancy.
Vintage, new...... as long it is something you like and want.
"Wants" always come after the first 2 ..... The first 2 are "needs".....lol

Mappin and Webb antique quadruple silver plated English shaving travel mug with compartment for soap in the lid.
Still has the original soap with it. Hasn't arrived, but looks mint. Should it go on display, or should I take it on the road trip it was destined for???Into this house we're born, into this world we're thrown ~ Jim Morrison

What are the dimensions ?....It would certainly add a touch of class to a hotel room or campsite. Originally Posted by Grazor

Im not normally in such things but that is beautiful. Don't think I would let it leave the house and would have to polish it after every use. Looks in great condition. Originally Posted by Grazor

I haven't gotten this in the mail but instead mailed myself to Cambridge in the UK. So far I've bought two shaving soaps: DR Harris Arlington and Penthaligon's Blenheim Bouquet. I get paid friday so I might be able to get an EDC. I just returned from Penthaligon's store. What a sublime fragrance overload. I would have bought them all but my pocket denied me the pleasure. But now I won't be ordering blind. For the moment my two favorites were Endymion and Blenheim Bouquet.

I would love to visit some of the British traditional shaving shops like Penhaligon's or D.R. Harris. I can only imagine the fragrance overload you are writing about, vicmaldo.
Anyway, I think you will like the Harris soap. I have the Arlington and Windsor soaps and am very pleased with the performance of both, plus the scents are great.
p.s. Travel pics are always appreciated.
