Mickey Lee Soapworks, The Kraken (x2).
From the bay a Gillette LC w/ the common bar handle.
From Japan a Shapton 12K wet stone. From Pakistan 200 Treet 'Black Beauty' carbon steel DE blades.
One of the SHDs is for me the other two are for a friend. I will be making handles similar to my avatar picture for the s h D's and an olive wood handle for the two band.
The last of my recent soap and aftershave upgrades. Stirling aftershaves just cannot be beat for quality and value in my estimation. These are in addition to several other recent Stirling AS purchases. The Stirling aftershave sample program is a winner.
Here is today's mail call of soaps and a aftershave splash that I ordered. The only soap that I still in transit, for now, is WK King of Oud (vegan). I am batting a hundred on scents of these three soaps thus far. Curiously, the mass production De Vergulde has the best scent of all three fantastic scents with the lime/citrus lavender scent. B&M Cheshire does smell like Earl Grey, but in a very intriguing way with the added clary sage, and bergamot. The aftershave is a wonderful match in scent. Scheermonnik Delfts Wit surprisingly does smell like exactly like bergamot, apple wood, tonka bean, patchouli, cedarwood, and oakmoss, now don't ask me to describe it...it's just really a classy, not overstated, scent.

Wow!
What can I say I liked them all and couldn’t decide so I got all of them and it still cost less than a good badger brush
One antique store rescue, one mail call!
Hello there, O2 Black Beauty!
Doors look pretty good!
This will need some Dawn action.

This box was only used for a brief football match.
It’s not what it looks like.

Just a little Amazon package today.
The Red smells exactly as I expected. The White does not, but I like it just fine anyway.

That bulldog! Wow.
The last razor looks like a Frankenrazor to me. Maybe a flat bottom British tech head on a Eveready Streamline handle?!?

The Bulldog I got for a steal. =)
I would agree on Franken. I don't think this is a Gillette handle, even though it fits perfectly into the case.
