February Acquisitions 2018

Thank you for sharing your impression, David.
By the way, I saw you picked up exactly the same Wolfman OC 0.74 brass. If you suddenly decide to sell (why do you need two identical razors with the same GAP ), you know who to shoot PM

Yes, the brass was shipped last Friday, so should be here by the weekend, weather permitting. I'm sure there will be a weight difference between the two razors and possibly a different feel as a result. I'll soon know, my friend.

And the ATT R2 has just arrived. My first ATT razor. Had contrasting opinions of this razor....Wayne says to expect a rough shave, whereas Chris says it's extremely smooth for him. Certainly, the teeth don't feel as smooth as a Timeless or a Wolfman, however, the same can be said of the OC Blackbird and that is a smooth shaver, for me. Hopefully, enough growth in the next 20 hours to put the ATT to the test and draw my own conclusion.

Another attempt at a handle for the Tuxedo knot. For the princely sum of 13 US dollars, not half bad.

A pack of blade for my Gillette Sensor and a pair of sunglasses. Both at discounted prices.

Blasphemy!!!

Yes, I admit it, I shave with a Sensor from time to time

Stahly head. So good looking I almost don't care how it shaves.

Very nice James!

Thanks.. The Maggards knots are quite different from the MS knots. I had to dig out the resin to create a lower 53mm loft.
