Robsbits in the UK is a pretty consistent supplier.
Cheers.

Somehow, I think you have more than that in the mail, Mike!

Just got an email from Shavemac that the custom brush I ordered will ship 08 Dec. Going to make a nice Christmas gift if it does not get stuck in the mail.

The suspense is quite exciting on that one...

Mystery boxes are fun.

Got a vintage W.H. Morley and Sons "Clover Brand" razor on the way. I'm thinking it's a primo candidate for a full scales off resto perhaps with a set of custom scales. Won't know for sure til it gets here though.

Congrats. I've been looking at adding a clover to the line up.

Look forward to seeing the work.
Cheers.

I have an iwasaki western tamahagane coming from japan. Lots of sleepless nights ahead...

Yea, I saw the clover stamp and the barber's notch and that pretty much sealed the deal for me. Also just pulled the trigger on 3 barber hones. 1 is a Swaty, the other an American Hone. The Swaty is the one I was interested in, but they were sold as a set (and cheap, almost a 3 for 1 type deal) so we'll see what happens. The third is a Brown, but it's dished on both sides. Can't imagine the thing is actually used for honing...maybe just an advertisement piece or something of the like?

Without seeing it I'd wager the Brown is a DE razor blade hone. Was a time folks refreshed them instead of tossing them and the hones used were dished so both edges of the DE blade rested on the stone and the middle area was in free air, then a quick swirl or swish or whatever movement, turn over the blade, repeat and voila fresh edge on your DE.
Neat score!

I have a brand new Revisor 8/8 (blade only) enroute from Germany. Pondering scale designs now...

My first silver shaving mug.
