W&B of course that was the biggest reason for bidding. Plus the box is interesting to me as well. Plus the others should clean up well.

I was hoping you'd say that. Nice, very nice indeed!

Waiting on three straight razors, one of which is a Friedbaurmann &Sohne "Comfort." Hoping the rust isn't too extensive.

Sad to say it but the middle one , I only see scsles.

Not an impressive looking group, is it? But I'm still waiting on it. We shall find out.

Yes nice lot, Little sanding you should be good to go,,, Enjoy,, Ty

Big pile from the frozen North to-day!
Good friends are rare and precious, esp on these internets.
MikeB52 is one such friend to me.

FME some will change the rules and ignore requests. Gotta watch who you trade with.
Make certain to start out slow and find out who has integrity as swapping/loaning things.

Mike is a Prince. Sent back my pile of Northern-tour goodies and hooked me up.
Sent some cool things for me to run and send back. Sweet stuff!
Mike's newish set of a sweet brush and a matching-scaled W&B to try as well as his Gilchrist beast. A Wester and Steer frameback razor from Rezdog to see what he did with a blade I sent, now clad in ivory and a gleaming bevel which will return to him soon. My B52 Rubberset clone I sent BACK up North to get a Canadian Beaver Nickel installed into the base (looks awesome! )
Some Canuck smokes with stroke victims pictured. along with my old crap I sent up for loan!
Happy my razors and brushes made the tour and are back home safely.
Most cool box ever!

Relieved everything made it home safely. I know all of us up here that got to try those sterling beauties appreciated your trust Tom.
Good to exchange with good gents indeed.

I tell ya...the idea of sending precious razors like that through the mail always scares the crap out of me....I had a stunning W&B frameback and a Fili just disappear in the Post...no info on the tracking, just disappeared one stop along the way...figured it was just some glitch, and they'd eventually show up...that was 18 months ago...still burns to think about that.

Mike, remember I had that beauty of Tom's, the sterling silver razor? I had two awesome shaves with it and was so worried about it I made sure it got back to you pronto...

Even sending razors in Ontario is always a leap of faith...so I can imagine you're relieved, Tom got a box of gold....those brushes are gorgeous Mike, and dropping the Canadian Nickel in the handle...awesome idea all around....

Bought the beaver nickel in question on ebay to coincide with Tom's birth year actually. so y'all know it's genuine silver, hehe.
Your rattler leaves today Andrew, so it should make it home for the weekend.

Happy Valentine's Day you loveable blokes!!
