January 2019 Aquisitions

The monster has arrived!

More a modification than an acquisition: View attachment 41313

I’ve had the Sabre handle bored out the whole length (up to the threads) to 7mm. This has reduced the handle mass from 75g to 53g. Obviously the razor is now more head-heavy, which generally I dislike but it feels notably more nimble which I do like. We’ll see how it shaves tomorrow...

Suppose whomever at work did this received an improved performance assessment from Mr PB

Excellent! Folks go overboard with handle weight these days, good to see a little moderation. Personally, I like a balance point about an inch below the head.

Yaqi brush
Karve D plate
B&M Vespers soap
B&M Chypre to replace an almost empty tub. A finished tub of soap will be a first for me!

Awesome presentation and a packet of Haribo thrown in (other vendors take note)
The presentation tin is fantastic and the smokey floral scent is great.
Cannot wait to lather this beauty.​

It’s about 20mm so close. I’d like it about 10mm lower: in the middle of the ‘grip’

Thread the hole, screw in a short threaded plug, you'll have an adjustable balance point.

Weck Bantam - it's a small Weck surgical, otherwise branded as a Nurse's razor. Smashing with those longer Personna single edge blades and gives a lovely shave.
