Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

You can re-glue the labels after the stone is clean and varnish over to seal the sides. I use craft store water based varnish. Or save them.

If you intend to reapply take some photos with a ruler on the labels so you know where they were originally.

The color under the label is what the stone will look like when clean.

Aloha!

I have wanted to try a Titan straight razor for a while. I have a few friends in Japan that like these razors. So I got a good deal on this model and decided to order one up. Should be here in a week or two, post office dependent;

I'll be honest the look of these just screamed "razor shaped object" to me and I never game them much thought. I'll be curious to see how it works out for you, I'm hoping it goes well.

After reading this thread, and having suffered for almost two decades from the vagaries of styptic pencils, I ponied-up for a smallish block of Laboratories Osma Alum, from Fendrihan.

It's "Out for Delivery"!!!

Won’t be disappointed.i use the block after every shave regardless of nicks.
After rinse while face is still damp, rub dampened block all over. Let soak 15 seconds or so and rinse again.
Tight toned and ready to go.

Also not bad as an antiperspirant.

They do not seem to wear down at all. Mine is almost 5 years old. Mind you, I don't use it unless I have pink lather now that I’ve discovered Thaters.

Splurged on a new bevel setter, so I don't have to mess with my knife stones (which aren't always exactly flat lol)

Arriving tomorrow

Comes with the turb stone? Nice.

Yup! Got the last one in stock on Amazon
Hope it's worth the higher cost, like most everyone says it is

I gave away my Norton combo stones years ago, and the recent acquisition of a bunch of finishing stones got me the itch again, so figured it was time to finally try the famous green brick.
Was using a Gesshin 2k, which is pretty damn fast for a 2k, but isn't a replacement for a 1k by a long shot

Look what I spent $20US on just now.
