What's in the box? Probably not Gwyneth Paltrow's head.

This is a restoration. Quite a while ago, I picked up this Big Boy that was missing its handle tube. After much hunting, I've not found a replacement tube.

Here's what it looks like today! The handle is antler.

Super happy with how this turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Generous PIF from a fellow B&B member. Wow just wow.

I could not fit everything into one picture but some of the highlights for me are below

Real generosity from the fellow. I would love to use everything here but I'm going to pick and choose the favorites and pass on the rest. Excited to try these out!

Very nice replacement with the antler, one of a kind in the world.

Just a couple of samples from Murphy & McNeil. I wanted to try both of their soap bases & determine if I want to order a tub.

One Blade Core.

Will see Tomorrow if it was worth the $16.95.

Todd,

You must be putting together a museum! Some excellent acquisitions today. I'm a huge fan of the Feather SS, as I'm sure you already know. Plus that 7-day razor is fascinating.

Southern Witchcrafts has jumped to the top of my favorite soaps/aftershaves...both smell amazing and performance is top notch

Thank you! I'm very intrigued by the 7 Day, for sure!

Mail call! One from the States, and one from across the pond.

Let's start here. Origin: Australia

Almost there...

Hello there, RFB!

Hello there, Wilkinson Sword! You are missing your strop. Two Mondays, no Hump Day.

Blades look to be in decent shape, though I would use this one with a modern SE blade first.

Here's the Fully Monty for today.

Thanks for stopping by!

Nice haul again! I love the RFB New. Great razor.

Steinmetzify · Oct 10, 2019

Always love seeing this....and I'll say this for the Maggard's guys...I ordered this on Tuesday and it was delivered this morning. Far better than ordering from Italianbarber, which usually take at least a week to get to me, if not longer.

Aw yeah

Hey look, a Grizzly Bay hole:

26MM SHD installed. Let this set, use it tomorrow after work.
