My closed comb machined Brassbird arrived

Definitely one of the most beautiful razors ever made.

I have a serious case of the gimmies when I look at their stuff. The 3D printed gear in general is amazing. It really makes me want to try making something. My local library has printers you can use.

I've seen so many positive reviews of the new King C. Gillette blades so when I saw two ten packs on eBay for a steal I jumped on them. These blades retail on Amazon for about $6 per 10 blades so pretty darned expensive. After having open the package today I can see part of the reason why. Look at this presentation.

Two tucks in a bespoke little box. Talk about wasteful packaging. Sheesh. Anyway, I hope they are as good as people have made them out to be.

Mail call. I've decided to call her 'Treesa'

 

[Four for Luck]

I hope your Treesa is better to you than my “Italian mistress” motorcycle was to me.

Too late for today. Wednesday.

I hope your Treesa is better to you than my “Italian mistress” motorcycle was to me.

Should I ask what that's about?

I had a Norton Commando motorcycle. At the time it was one of the hottest cycles.
When idling on the center stand she would move, quickly shaking. Moving twelve inches in no time.
She handled so well. Moving with you. Joy.
Pieces would shake loose needing to be tighten while on a ride, needing to stop.
I had to have two sets of plugs. One for around town, one for the highway.
Such joy! So much …..
Hoping Treesa is not that way.
When she was good, she was so very good.
When she was bad she was a b****.

 

[Neilzebub]

Time will tell, cheers.

I’ve just recently discovered this razor and it has been added high up on the “must try” list. The birch handle is amazing.

Too late for today. Wednesday.View attachment 1335518

Have you used these before? I’m hesitant to buy 100 of them but have heard great things.

 

[Four for Luck]

I have uses the Wizamets before. I was gifted two by another member.
I used both blades for ten shaves each.
Umm, I purchased 250.

The Original Autostrop
Today I received my coveted Autostrop “A1”
It was as black as sin when it arrived. I had it in pieces so fast, I didn’t even get a before photo.

I tried silver polish “Silvo”, and it didn’t do anything at all.
I know you shouldn’t, but I finally got out the Brasso and went at it. It was all it could do to cut through the black oxidization.

Instead of a lever, the A1 has a spring button in the back to push the comb outward While fitting the blade into the stops.

I know the blade “door” looks black in the last two pics, but that’s just the lighting.
