Hello there, brassy NEW Short Comb!

So this next one was purchased as a parts lot. Let’s see why!

The Rhodium No. 21 (I think) is sticky, but opens. It’s like pine tar sticky. Everything is sticky.

The gold No. 21 or No. 22 (I think) does not open. The knob is stuck in the open position, and the head screws off. I have no idea how to remedy that.

Any thoughts here are appreciated!

I had my first Ikea visit last week. It’s something else. The scale of the place alone.

It’s a giiiiiiiant maze. I will need to pick up a display of some type soon. All of my razor boxes are full.

I’ll probably go with the Milsbro in black and add accent lighting. I really wanted the Fabrikör (the shorter, wider version) in grey. They don’t sell shelves separately, and I would need 3 shelves minimum. I don’t want to buy two just to cannibalize the shelves.
 
Fine. Let’s keep this party going. Mail call!

It’s not what it looks like.

That is...musty. This has definitely been in a basement for a minute.

Hello there, weathered RFB! I picked this one up as a possible replate project, but I actually dig the look as-is.

Hello there, shiny Rocket HD! It’s not bent, I just suck as a photographer.

Let’s bring it home strong.

Packing peanuts for days.

I wanted to try a few different shaving creams to see how I prefer them to soaps. Snagged a few razors in the process!

Hello there, RazoRock SLOC and GC OC!

My Fendrihan order arrived a day early than the tracking estimate said initially.
Woo-hoo!
Leuchtturm1917 notebook, a Clubman Jumbo Styptic Pencil, three little sample packs...
(then my camera battery crapped out, switched to vintage iPod touch)

... And a shiny new Edwin Jagger DE87:
I just liked the appearance of the faux ivory handle and the "rocker" profile of the head.

The Rhodium No. 21 (I think) is sticky, but opens. It’s like pine tar sticky. Everything is sticky.

I'd say drop them into hot water (in saucepan, at a rolling boil) for 10 minutes.
Toothbrush and Proxabrush scrubbing to get the soap scum and verdigris off.
That did wonders for my rather distressed '46 Aristocrat.
No question that it was sanitized, since it's not just a surface treatment.

Good deal for $6.00 Canadian each and $40 Canadian shipping.
