Damm, i guess your average is more than one a day. How long is the waiting list for newly bought razors to be put to work?

It’s more about my face. I only shave every 2-4 days because my face is a baby. [emoji24]

Another Swing, with some serious rot. The thin line at the top of the foam chute couldn’t be salvaged, but it works as should.
Added a brass plug to the bottom, so the center of gravity shifted from right under the head to the upper knurled ring.

The brass plug is a great idea. I have this Swing, and the center of gravity is definitely a small nuisance. Nice work, Adam. Salvage the Swings!

Thank you both, I’ll do what I can Hope you’ll find the faux tortoise case for the golden Swing Patti.

Mail Call.
Fresh from the postwoman and from Bulgaria. An Apollo Bakelite safety razor and an old Gillette no name clone. Bent teeth on the clone and it has seen a lot better times. The Apollo seems to be in reasonable condition for its age. The Apollo has Apollo and D.R.G.M. On the baseplate.
