Like a kid in a candy store! My shave den just got a lot more interesting.
I'm always impressed with the post office, stuff usually gets where it needs to go. But then, I'm easily impressed.
Expect the worse and be pleasantly surprised.

I have an "outgoing razor" via B/S/T thanks to a kind (and wise) member here :y
drove 1.5 hours to an estate auction today because i saw that they had a dubl duck lifetime and a few others for sale. well, the dd scales were broken on both sides and the w&b had a large chip out of the toe so i left empty handed. hit a couple antique stores on the way home though and ended up with two near wedge sheffields and a small german hollow.

Looks good. Nice that the auction was close. Even better that there was antique shops to hit too.
Nice score. Auctions are always iffy even if they publish pics beforehand.
Looks like the drive was worthwhile.
Received from Jerry last week in trade for .25/.50 micron diamond sprays he wanted to experiment with:

I got a Herder blade from Mike T. Today. Its chipped and broken on the tip. But just about perfect for the shorty I plan on making. The scales are already made. Another thing that is broken and needs shortened. So in the end, all will find a good place.
Thanks, Mike T.
I've pulled the trigger on a kamisori style shavette on December 4th and I'm hopping for delivery before Xmas. The razor was shipped from the other side of the world with ordinary post service so my expected delivery time may be a bit optimistic.

Looks like turning stuff Mike, does that mean there is a long run of brushes coming?
