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

Those two Brad Sears brushes with 30mm TGN finest knots. The handle shape was derived from the Polo style of Simpsons

Hope the Japan Mail will work fast, since this Morning is a NOS Henkotsu 7/8" on its way

Custom made Leather tablet cover

Just purchased a pike axe hone off the bay for 48.31 I don't think the guy knew what he had.

A 70mmX130mm Belgian Coticule from the Superior Shave. I'll post pics when it gets here. HAD alive an well. Just have to see what the fuss is about. Love the edges off my Thuringian so I wanted to compare.

I've got a Nakayama Karasu natural on its way to me from Japan as we speak.

NOS Wapienica SFK FSM wedge 5/8. Yep another small wedge. Getting where I really like them.

This quote by Glen describes my feelings well.

"The 1/4 grind plows through hair so it requires less finesse to get a good shave..."

With my clubs for hands less works best. Har!



Wanted to try a heavy scale. Hopefully the temper has some depth and if scales become to heavy I'll change them. Supposedly easy honed of which I'm getting ready to try. And I can shine the dickens outta the scales without fear... I drift...

Mid to late August for their free shipping and its arrival. R0TFLMA0

Just a lighted magnifier for my phone. Easier to teach with the enlarged images. I also ordered 6 of the lighted magnifiers themselves, cheaper and without the clip assembly, which I've used since I started. I have a large scope but it is a bit unwieldy for anything but a final inspection of an edge a 100x

I've got a loupe just like that, and it really helped me when I was learning to hone. Especially since there were no folkslocally that I could ask, so I used my phone's camera to upload pics here .

Btw, if you know where to look for them, the batteries are cheap-ish ($4-$6 for a pack of 6?). It probably has to do with the volume of units sold that this certain type of store does. It is the kind of store that usually asks for I.D. if you "look under 40" (well, that's the rule of thumb here...), but that isn't because of a liquor license. If this description befuddles you, shoot me a PM for the answer lol.

Two of the thicker batteries of the same total voltage work well also. 2ea AG-13 only in the older phones. They replace the three thin ones. They often are 6 on a card at the store. Dollah Sto's sometimes have a card for cheap and so does HF.
