Acquisitions - May 2017

[Acer89]

I ordered mine way back in Nov 2016 as a kickstarter Pre Order, mine shipped on the 12th May and arrived this week. Hopefully yours will be much quicker! Shaving with the 6C in the morning hope it's as good as the reports I've read so far.

Thanks for the reply. I very much hope the wait was worth it and looking forward to reading your shave report

I really do enjoy my Gillette vintage collection but can't get on with the tiny slim handles.

Another nice replacement handle arrived today transforming my 1920's Gillette short comb into something far more practical with good weight and balance. Bling!

The most expensive acquisition this month. Took nearly as long as a Romera brush.
BMW 320i Sport GT in mineral grey.

Charcoal Goods brass handle. Dark antique and darker than shown in picture. 13 stars and stripes for the colonies.
Notice the lack of a head (hint for BST) and while asking, any issues with threads for aluminum head on a brass handle ?

I picked up an Oscar 11 Brush with a boar knot.

Well my ATT journey is over. I traded my S1 for a Timeless and today my M1 for the Muhle Rocca with Birch handle. If I like the shave I'll swap the handle for a full stainless. I've enjoyed the ATT's but not enough to shave with them as often as I'd have wanted to. Lets see how the ss Muhle shaves?

I always liked the Rain Forest handle - different. Good luck with the razor and keep the eco-friendly looking handle.

I will Howie. I'll give it a go I may like it. If not I always thought Muhle should have put a full Stainless handle on it when it was released.

Good old TKMax £3.99 Bargain !

My AoS Rose Absolute shaving cream arrived. It smells quite good. I'm going to combine it with a really old Williams Rose shaving soap to make superlather.

No, not the latest kickstarter SE, but a lovely Tekut Zero 3.1" folding knife in Sandvik 12C27 steel. For 28 bucks delivered from Massdrop, it's an absolute steal...

Nice knife. Nice price too.

See here @bakerbarber - you guys in the States would get it even cheaper

I wanted to show that I was not going to be the only one without a Wolfman Guerrilla plus I could not find the other thread

I thought massdrop had stopped shipping knives to the UK. Nice knife
