Acquisitions for December 2010

[cstokes4]

Yesterday I picked up a bottle of Master's Bay Rum from Sally's. I like it and you can't beat the price for how much you get, the fiance gave me the thumbs up as well.

Hopefully tomorrow I will scoring a Rolls and whatever else I can get my hands on.

 

[PozzSka]

Here are two LiJun brushes (both for $7 + shipping on ebay).
Spieck Shaving Stick
Alum block
SRD Lime Shave Soap
Thayer's Witch Hazel

Stopped by Imperial Shaving in Medina, OH on the 1st. Don runs the shop (and SRD) and is very helpful and nice guy. I will be shopping there again...maybe today?

That is a Robert Becker. I have one of his... and a second coming soon. I like mine a lot.

This Edwin Jagger is just beautiful.
I hope it shaves as well as it looks.
Also been trying boar brushes lately and figured why not get a top shelf model.
So here is my Omega 31064.
Can't wait to try it out tomorrow with my Omega shave cream.

What are the knot dimensions of that Omega?

 

[David in Boston]

What are the knot dimensions of that Omega?

Ht: 113 mm Loft: 59 mm Base: 54 mm Knot: 25 mm
Dimensions approximate

 

[hitemfrank]

Thanks David. I'm eyeing up boar brushes at the moment and couldn't find demensions of that Omega.

 

[JdB]

My modest score of the day:

Can't wait to try out the TIMOR blades. The package says: "Eisgehardet", which means "Ice-hardened" in English. It might suggest they have been cooled down to enhance hardness and relieve stress. Sounds promising!

 

[The Last Chimney]

How do you like the Avocado? I just bought a tube and was surprised at how much I disliked it. It reminded me of fresh pumpkin, which I usually don't mind but as a shaving cream it drove me crazy for some reason.
