I just got this from my brother in Germany, he says it is from Sweden......

Yes, those are rollers. I haven't tried it yet, my brother says the rollers catch on goatee's. Lol

Mail call. Prepare for a little rowdiness. Everything is from the States today.

Let's start with this little guy.

Almost there. That's not my usual shape...

Hello there, Weck! I blame the Weck Wednesday thread for this acquisition. Enablers!

[Gryffindor]

Everything else for today arrived in the same box.

Delicious packing peanuts.

Hello there, Stahly Live Blade! You actually vibrate. Neat!

Head is in decent shape, which was the primary concern.

 

[Gryffindor]

Next up from the box of many things!

Hello there, Stahly Live Blade! You were not separated from your brother. Your brother works, though.

The head on this one is in fantastic shape!

Final stretch!

These are sitting in the notorious divot on my couch. Neither are bent.

Hello there, Clix 500!

Hello there, Schick 66!

I did let out a chuckle when I saw your post.

I got my frankenrazor Gillette NEW short comb today. It has the tech Bakelite handle, brass and copper up top. Got it because of the reviews here and wanted to test it against my prewar tech. Just looking at it, it looks like it's very aggressive. Will test it out tomorrow. It's hard to tell on the very end comb, they all look like they kind of bend inwards, is that normal?

Yes the ends are bent a little, that is pretty normal from laying the razor down to hard. They straighten out pretty easily, but shouldn't really affect the shave much. You will find the NSC is a little more aggressive than a prewar tech, but it will top the prewar in efficiency.

The first time I put a blade in my NSC I too thought it looked very aggressive. Not to worry, it is really on the mild side for an open comb, and a pleasure to use.

Thank you for that. If it's not going to affect the shave I won't worry about it much. I think the prewar is pretty efficient shaving daily so this should be interesting!

The prewar tech probably clamps the blade more firmly than any other tech, which makes it ideal for shaving ATG. The NSC clamps the blade even more firmly.
Here is an interesting note about the NSC, the cap from your prewar tech will fit the NSC. All tech caps fit NSC's.....

Mail call! This one is from across the pond.

Hello there, RFB!

That poor handle has seen some things.

Head is in great shape!

From the wild today!

It’s not what it looks like.

Hello there 1956 Red Tip (B4) and Rubberset brush!

This box has a Mad Men vibe to me. Considering loading this up with the Fatboys, Slim, Blue Tips, Red Tips.

Thanks for stopping by!

Belated mail call!
I got these gems last week and forgot to post them, so here they are. A nice user grade 1955 Gillette Red Tip Super Speed, and it is my birth quarter A4!
I got the Schone to replace one that had a broken post.

I love the Stahly live blade head. One of my favorite DE heads. Fantastic shaver!

Big fan of the RFB, as well. Good scores.


So Todd, how many razors do you have now? Gotta be a bunch.
