Nice brush, Bob, what's the loft and can you choose your own loft?

Thanks Jamie. Couldn't tell you the loft till it arrives here as I did not specify one when I ordered it. I imagine you could specify your own loft when ordering. A quick email to them should provide an answer though.

Love the shade of green on that handle Bob!
Got something coming I’ve been seeking for a while now.
Not shave related but older than a lot of razors.
51 replacement hood assy for my TD!


Hopefully I can shave some intake clearance and get everything back under the original cowl lines on my green machine this winter, and next spring.

I have an 11/16 - 1/4 hollow - Barbers Notch - W.T Staniforth - Ecclesall Works, Sheffield in the mail.

Blade and scales in excellent condition, over 100 years old by all accounts ( late 1800's).

I am really pleased with this, I wanted a barbers notch and this also looks like a nice Sheffield too.

I don't know if W.T Staniforth - Ecclesall Works was anything special but I am pleased with it, I think this might be a keeper.









Honed using shaptons and finished with an ozuku japanese natural.

Takes a Schick injector or the like. They ship it with their own brand. They are shorter than the Feather and Kai blades that fit the Mongoose and other razors.

So I finally got the Soviet era Russian razors in today from Estonia.

I don't know if the boxes are exact matches but the logos at least match.

Both in pretty good condition.

I still haven't added a Russian to my collection. Grrr.

Well, that was kind of what I said also. These were from the user russian.things on eBay. Pretty sure there were more.

Picks up dog hair and dander like crazy and the battery lasts a good long time compared to previous handheld vacs. No more towing a plugged in and heavy beast of a machine - cuts the actual time required to less than half. Enjoy.

You Sir are so right, I am more and more impressed each time I use it. So handy to just hang up to charge once done!
