Received a couple of new razors today. An H. Diamond 120 near wedge with cracked scales (nothing a little crazy glue can't fix), and a 6/8 Heljestrand with the model number worn off.

Nice. I like the inlay on the swirly scales. Isn't getting new razors in great!?
I've gotten too many of both this summer (several hones and at least 3-dozen razors, mostly bare blades for rescaling); this is what happens when my wife travels without me! Summer before last I went on a vintage shell strop bender; now I'm on brush knots to put in handles my woodworker friend is making.
If school doesn't start back soon, I'm going to be bankrupt lol!
Or a new strop!
Received this Red Imp today, I'm super excited. It will need a light sanding, the linen will need cleaning, but it's in excellent condition. Unfortunately it was shipped folded in two, so it will also need to be flattened.

It was a BIN. A little more than I’m usually willing to pay for vintage strops, but I’d been looking for a Red Imp for a while, and it looked to be in good condition, so I jumped on it. I don’t regret it at all!!
I had seen that one, Joel! Glad you got it.
