What's new

What are you unpacking/ opening today, show pics or video, we love pics

I'm still waiting for my last order - it's been 'on the way' for over a week, and despite coming from the US, the should be delivered by date range is from March 1st through 14th. Hmmm..

That said, here's what I got today! - 1951, 4th quarter, Black Tip SuperSpeed with box and instructions for use. (and a huge pile of junk blades were tucked into the instructions for the unwary purchaser)



And what it looks like after soaking in Dawn, SC-1000 surfactant, and a run in the ultrasonic cleaner, with a rinse with a toothbrush (and water). No polish yet.

Today I received 2 Palmolive Shave Sticks as a give away from Kevy Shaves on YouTube to celebrate his 2,000 subscriber milestone. Very kind of him and I wish him well. If you haven't watched his videos, you should check him out as he helps promote the brotherhood of our shaving hobby.

View attachment 763370 Unpacked this beauty on Saturday.

The handle is exquisite, I was going to go with one of my own ideas, but saw this design on the website fell for it, and decided it was better than my own.

26mm TGN Grade A silvertip.
Seems very dense and oh so very soft.

I have test lathered it a few times, but only shaved once with it. Lather is fantastic and easy.

If this gets better as it breaks in, I am in for a treat.
That's unique color design niceee.
 
I bought an aluminum Wolfman with a Marley Machine Works handle + stand from someone, which came in a few days ago. Loving it so far!

My L&L Grooming order came in today :) Excited to use Unconditional Surrender tonight! Will use Harmony tomorrow night - I sold a tub I previously owned after one use because I thought I had irritation. Giving it a second chance in the off chance that the irritation was due to brush burn or something, because I really love this scent :)
