One day ill have to get myself a handmade after this proraso dies ..i always liked the custom handles
I love my custom made Amboryna Burl shaving brush. It only set me back $150.
Will be pairing it with a 26mm Badger knot from Milton at TNS next week. Heritage Collection reproduction of the Cmon 77-5.
The slow boat delivered today.
54 Shark super stainless blades. A bit unexpected how they were shipped, small bags taped to a couple of index cards then stuffed in an envelope, but they were a fair price for a new blade to try.
Its a nice little handle though interesting grain patterns to
Don't throw out the blades, mine were very good!The slow boat delivered today.

Now the Straight Edge I had custom restored with Amboryna Burl wood is gorgeous.
So do you like Eufros?This arrived today Eufros Gea.. and Manuel added two extra samplesView attachment 1152933
Yes its a very slick and beautifully scented soap bringing up a nice lather took some more time compared with B&M and Stirling but overall a very nice artisan
Postie’s been...
Got this in the mail call today
Are you sure you don't smell the pine?
Had a couple beautiful items arrive the last couple days.
The first is a lightly used Karve brass razor bought from a forum member. I've had my eye out for one; this one has the A, B, and C plates (I'm a guy that needs a fairly mild razor so this is just right for me I think, I'll start with the B).
Next up is this beautiful little shaving bowl from Doug Smith Pottery procured from Etsy. I like the size and its beautiful, with nice texture in the bottom to help lather.
I like that its rather shallow - even though it results in some spilling lather, I hate having my brush clonking around the sides of deeper bowls so this helps with that. I guess you can't tell scale from the picture, but its perhaps 4" in diameter. Bigger than a mug, but smaller than the average bowl. Fits in the palm of the hand without being tiny - perfect for me.

I love Stirling. Curious to hear how you thing this one smells.
Mail calls!
Some days ago I got my two etsy items I had ordered some time ago. I got a full set(BT, HT, FC) of Egyptian cotton towels with my initials embroided, they are veeeerry nice, much better looking than in the pictures. If anyone is interested they can PM me(so that it doesn't look like product placement) and I can give you the details for the guy who makes them, there are all sorts of colour combinations. Aaaand a nice leather sack(really sorry for the bad pictures) in which I will hold all of my shaving stuff, for now, later in life I might use it for travel

)))First up, I got finally got my Dad's 1976 Q4 Super Speed back from restoration today!!
They re-plated the doors and guard, but left the handle and flair tip alone.
Next up is a pair of razors I bought mainly for the Super Speed case. I will use the case for my Dad's razor. The flair tip needs some attention to the handle, but the doors, T-bar, and guard cleaned up nicely. The other razor.. well, it might get sent off to be restored at a future date..
The case is in great shape. No cracks, and no crazing in the lid. Dad's Super Speed will look nice in it when it's not in use.
