I got a dirty bird scuttle AND a Robert Becker scuttle. Gonna have to try them both in the next couple of days.

My new Tony Miller 3" Steer w/handles and linen...My mom got a water stain on the bottom of the steerhide as she was packing it, but I can't get mad at her...after all, she bought it!! (plus it gives it character!!)

What awesome parents I have. Dad told me he paid $100 for this. I told him I MIGHT have paid that much for it. No, I would have. .

and a Dovo Carre ordered too late to get today, but SRD shipped it immediately!

My wife asked "how many razors do you need"? I made a huge mistake and said 7, one for each day of the week. I should have said 31!!!

I almost forgot...My brother-in-law gave me a solar powered cockroach

I'm lusting for that strop.
Thoughts?

Steve I haven't had the chance to try it out yet, but I will say that when holding the wood in my hand it is very very well made and worth every penny. Someone is going to be bidding on it on Future-Bay about 100 years from now. The magnetic backing on the leather and felt holds really well. It's not often that I find fine craftsmanship any more, and when I do it pleases me.

That's awesome to hear.
Thanks for the quick highlights.

Edited to add:

Just ordered this modular strop and some Mitchell's Wool Fat.

My wife and I don't do the gift thing lol... killjoys that we are .

BUT:

We took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge (indoor water park in Kansas City, Kansas) for a two night, three day bonanza lol! Great times!!

AND:

The terrible thing is... Great Wolf Lodge is next door to Cabela's! We might have gone for lunch (don't get the bison burger), and uh, might have got some other... "necessity's."

Good times!

No razor stuff - still trying to whittle down what I have - must be tough hey?
