Same from Japan. Bought 2 books on eBay and seller contacted me that EMS/USPS ain't shipping. Cancel or send by boat. So my books are on the boat somewhere in the Pacific. Hopefully I get them by end of July.

Treated myself to a new Schulze #14 from Revisor. Hopefully it will arrive just in time for Father’s Day.

Oooohhhh...pretty. :tu:
Some niche fragrance decants as my current supplies are getting low. 10ml ea of Amouage Epic, Memior and Jubilation and Creed Royal Oud. Got 10ml of Thierry Mugler Cologne to try as well.
I must have a sickness. Now is NOT the time for me to make purchases...but I did it anyway.

Saw these on the bay and about broke my finger hitting the Buy It Now button. The description says:
"You are bidding on 6 antique F. Herder & Son straight razor blades. Made in Germany.
-------------------------------
These are old stock, unfinished blades that have never been sharpened. They do NOT have manufacturer's markings but these are from the F. Herder & Son factory in Solingen, Germany.
These have been in storage for nearly 100 years, so they do have some rust spots and a gray aged patina, so please see photos.
Perfect for replacing blades on antique straight razors"
They appear to still be annealed (can't imagine they would be hardened before stamping) which means they will have to be hardened and possibly have the grind finished. Won't know until I see them. Very intriguing little buy. I'm going to pump the seller for more information to see how he came across them. He had a bunch of knife parts too also incomplete.
Well done! I think you'll be pretty busy in the next days...;)
