Dang...I saw that on ebay, never dreamed the purchaser would be here lol. Well, on the bright side that's an awfully nice set of scales. You might be able to find a decent blade to slip in there.Quote:

If you want to put them in a bowl just warm them by rolling them between your hands and then press them into the bowl. They should be pliable enough to not need to be grated.Quote:

I know its all very YMMV...but now that you have Valobra I suspect the Arko may be reserved for emergencies or when your days are going so well that you feel the need to re-balance your Karma...Quote:

A 1930 Winchester straight, a 1930 Dovo straight, a Ralf Aust straight, new soap and new SR Stand.
Andrew,
Nice F. R.! Mine is on it's way back from Gssixgun with new scales and it's missing a bunch of rust! Unlike yours, the scales on mine were broken so they had to be replaced.
My Randall Hall with new honey horn scales is also enroute, as is my Clauss which Glen rescaled too. Pics are on his Face Book page and there's one picture of the Randall H. and the Fredrick R. in the "Hone of the Day" thread.
I should also mention a C-Mon from the classifieds is on it's way. It looks like December is going to be a good month for me, but not my wallet.. <sigh>
Regards
Christian

Have a darker green Thuringian scheduled to deliver Tuesday.
Also a monster Joseph Elliot 8/8+ should show up sometime this week.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...10c0a11074.jpg
And I'm sure I'll have more scheduled by tomorrow :)
Since a few Minutes i wait for my first Tamahagane Kamisoris, its not an Iwasaki and i still need a little help in the Kanji Thread to identify the Maker but it has 188mm of width and 43mm blade length by 32gr weight, i guess even if Tamahagane makes not that big difference it will become a good shaver when it is honed :)
Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic.
Gold Dollar 208, Strop, Van Der Hagen Shave set (soap, brush, bowl), Personna razor blades, Kent Mustache comb, A little more than 20 essential oils and carrier oils (not all or for my beard oil or mustache wax most are my wife's).
Nevermind. It was advertised as a Thuringian, but was far from it. There was a faded stamp that said "Car______um stone No 104" on the side.Quote:

Some building supplies for winter projects.
6 honey horn and 6 dark horn blanks, some MOP sheeting, bit o abalone, and a half dozen bone blanks for good measure.
Robsbits in the UK is a pretty consistent supplier.
Cheers.
Somehow, I think you have more than that in the mail, Mike! :rolleyes:Quote:

The suspense is quite exciting on that one...Quote:

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.Quote:

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?Quote:
