I'm planning to restore the razor, blades and leather and work it into my own vintage travel set. Already ordered a Tuxedo knot for the handle from the fine people at AP Shave Co.

Wow - a 5-Day LeCoultre frame backed razor, with that nice kit, that was a major score...congrats.

Chuck for my lathe just arrived now for my lathe to get here! Only a couple more weeks.

Just ordered a vintage Gillette DE from my birth year. Took a little searching as most seemed to be the year before or after me...

Samples of all three Castle Forbes creams, Alvarez Gomez cream, Captain's Choice Lime AS, and a Vie-Long horse hair brush. Oh, and a Kamisori from B/S/T. Just a small binge buy.

Still in the mail, some samples from the tiers of exalted sudserdom! Or lil packs of expensive soaps as my wife shall call them. But air travel friendly!
More excitedly for me was what was in the mail yesterday.


A package from Texas with some surprises to share with a few other Canucks.
My Gilchrist, back from a U.S. Vacation safely, thank you gents, never feared..
Today's shave was bliss.
A TopFlight, that feels top notch.
A few unshowable goodies for the misses to be displayed later,,,
Couple of fine examples of the other great use for pig skin, aside from SNFB of course..Tripoli 941's fresh from their Texas rebirth.
Vintage Cheese server set for an old Canadian cheese we all know and love, (clearly not me) hehe.

England stamp, early 20th century maybe.

This Gent had three of these NOS Joseph Rodgers, and I now have two on the way. Razors like this don't often pop up down here, let alone at what I paid. Turns out this guy not only has good taste in razors, but also an incredibly talented carver...



That is a chunk of deer antler right there, absolutely amazing..

Beautiful work, and nice score on the razors Grazor!

Got a bunch of Japanese restoration projects coming from our good ole Mr Fancypants..




Couple look promising, others, might just be some spare scales. Will see in a month..

Made by W&S Butcher, no less!
Might clean that crack in the ivory and dribble some CA in there?
