It has been a busy week on the bay. Awaiting arrival:
'63 Lady Gillette Starburst
(the '61 I purchased was damaged in transit, so this is its replacement)
Ball End OLD
Pre-war Fat Handle Tech
Ball End Tech - silver (unknown date)
Made Rite badger (unknown model)
The BE Tech and brush came as a lot that was too cheap to resist.
After last week's honing session I was checking my synthetic stones and, Holy Cow! they are not at all flat. They are all domed end to end and side to side.
DMT Dia-Flat 95 and a precision straight edge inbound.
Didn't buy today, but delivered today. Yeah! The beta sample (Bay Rum) smells amazing. Could be a top 3 scent for me. The Smokey Mountain Cedar is a special order. I absolutely love the smell. The lime has a ghost cooling agent I'm dying to try... Menthol without the stench, who'd have guessed. Lol. Finally, the California Sunrise is interesting. Not totally sold yet, but it's a warm weather smell (a complex orange floral). I'll either "warm up to it" in Summer or pass it on.
For my Den, I'm now waiting on a Vintage 7oz (small), Burma Shave glass jar (I already have the 1lb jar, but I wanted the smaller jar to store my Voshod razor blades) with a metal screw lid.
The jar is approximately 2¾in tall. The glass jar is in very nice condition (just needs a good cleaning), and the lid has very minor wear.
