Should be able to get most of them back in order. Wont be nothing really special but I will have a few to get me thru part of the winter now as that stock has dwindled down a lot...Couple are sholderless and one french tip. Things Ive been looking for lately.

I think numbers 2 and 3 look pretty cool. I have a little French wedge with that profile, not hollow-ground like those, but the shape just really agrees with my neck, gives some really sweet shaves. What are the makers? (Can't quite make out the tang stamps.)

On the profile, what's so nice is that they smile, so that's good for hollows; the heel is narrow, so good for under the nose; and the toe is wide, for those big strokes. It's a great combination.

My new order, old-school loom strop with pounch

This stuff just arrived this weekend. I got the big block of Cella which looks like it will last me a decade, Mike's Natural "Barber Shop", Alvarez Gomez (I love this stuff), and some Floid Vigoroso.

I have just placed an order for one of these. RazoRock synthetic knot with an aluminium handle based on the old Rubberset design.

Expecting another Herder 25 blade soon.
Soon....

Another one. Are you trying to get a seven day set?

Oh! I am settling for a pair!

YOU may have the rest, My Friend!

Well Tom, I have to say I have always been a sucker for a nice pair!
There are some that have costs me dearly.

I can't believe I won a beat up old Greaves today...very nice surprise, and one that will have to be expertly restored to save the scales, which I really liked as well as the blade itself...

Greavses have souls, I always say!
