Jaques lecoultre au sentier n.2 came in today.



I just started cleaning the blade with 600 grit. I will go all the way to 2000 grit, then take her to the stones before she enters the rotation.

Well, patience finally paid off. My haul for today at one of my contacts. My only regret is buying the Wilkinson sword. Not much demand there but it is neat to look at. Its something out of the "otherverse" world. Can't find blades for it anymore I don't think. I am also missing "monday" blade. The chance of me finding THAT blade is nil. Oh well. He's a good contact.

Found this earlier today, don't know if it's worth it to you but I remembered it and thought you might like to know:

Let's see...It was a good week for me. First I got a Hoffritz Slant at a local antique shop that I hope to use as trade bait when I'm able, at another local shop I got a Blue Tip Super Speed for $5 and lastly got two off the bay on one auction. One was a 40's SS with case and the other is a 60's Flare.

I went to Germany and Italy last weekend for work.

In Italy, I visited several grocery stores, and found some of the usual suspects (i.e., Palmolive cream, Proraso cream, Malizia Vetvver), but I landed on a jar of Prep, which is much like Proraso Pre-Post. I am kicking myself for not stocking up on Malizia Vetyver and Borotalco!

In German, I visited a Müller Drogerie, and scored some Sir Irisch Moos products (Cream and Aftershave), Speick Body Soap & Shave Stick, Palmolive Shave Stick, no. 4711 Cologne, and Tabac EDT!

Good trip!

Good for you! At the end of the year I leave for Germany for two months, with a one week side trip through Austria into Italy. I hope to stock up, perhaps find something unique in Italy that might be worth importing, and maybe even hit some flea or antique markets for vintage razors. We'll see!
