I've heard great things, things are starting to warm up here and I decided I needed a couple mentholated soaps... well this is what happened.
right now im waiting on the last 14 or so straights from a 3 dozen straight haul last week, plus buffing wheels & sundries for the buffer/grinder, simpsons dvd sets and perhaps a few more straights if I win the ones that end today, haha:D
Nothing...for the first time in a LONG time!

My order from SRD came today. It's like Christmas!
Indeed, I've been daydreaming about a set like yours. I'd recommend a holder for your DMT if you don't already have one, they are slippery.Quote:

I wouldn't normally have been able too afford these but I took some metal scrap I had been saving to the scrapyard/recycle center. Being a plumber sometimes has its perks. Also I told SWIMBO how much it was going to cost each time I needed my razors touched up. That helped.Quote:

So, just arrived, blade only, a Jonathan Crookes razor, looks to be in stunning condition, any help on what the original scales might have looked like would be appreciated, figure this tiny blade will be an interesting shaver, complete opposite end of the scale for me, but the design of the blade is quite nice. Here are some pics...

My Lucky Tiger set arrived today. Neat packaging. Tin is very thin but you can't have everything. Can't wait to shave tonight. Also waiting on an Edwin Jagger travel brush and 4 SE razors that I won in an eBay auction.
Have always been curious about Lucky tiger products. a Review is in order if you can?
I'll see what I can do:) I plan to use it tonight. Too bad I didn't have doorsh's "tiger" to use with it. Even a Bengall would do I suppose.Quote:

1 5/8 x 4" combo bout to a 6 x 2 should be a plus, hopefully the stone is comparable to what I have now
Maggard flawed safety razor (couldn't find a flaw). Samples, I gotta say I like their products.
From the shaving yeti:
Yeti Snot
Dr. Yeti's Magic Elixir
West Coast Shaving:
Osage Rub
Ogallala Bay Rum and Sandalwood Shave stick
3 LED lighted loupes that gssixgun recommended. I ordered 3 because they're cheaper than the replacement batteries ( and I misplace things).
I have bought this as my first razor, I plan on restoring it, going to have it hone and use it first! Attachment 167324
Where do you get a good loupe from?? I am sure if I looked on eBay there would be plenty of dodgy ones...Quote:
