The Lupo 58 is a fine razor. The entire Lupo platform is my favorite.

Please report back on your opinions of the 127. I love the 95 as a daily driver.
I agree!! I don't think I need anything more aggressive than a 72, but these Lupos are the best! Ticks all the boxes, enjoyable being a top trait. I will have a think, but my three keepers will likely be the two Lupo's and a Karve CB, may get rid of the Overlander, may.
Stocking up on Palmolive cream. Two menthols and four regular classic.

An unusual boxed Jade East set containing aftershave and 'a mans cologne'. This is an early example, before it was marketed by Boots in the UK, and still made by Swank Inc. in New York who launched it in 1964. This is typical of the oriental scents of the period such as Hai Karate and Tai Winds; the cologne is especially nice. There appears to be two empty spaces inside the box, does anyone know what they contained?

Lady Eversharp - Really cleaned up nice. Krona blades came with it and I loaded a fresh one up.
This just arrived today.
Let's just hope it's as good as people say.

I'm a Baili fan. I have their BT131 razor which is my second favorite SB razor... and I like all of their blades that I've tried.
I recently discovered that they now produce a stainless steel razor — the B3. Although it's a DC (strictly against my razor religion) I decided to order it, as reading their description, they consider each side to be a different razor (so basically two single-edge razors in one).
The handle, at 97mm, is way longer than my preferred 75mm length... but it feels good so I'll give it a try.
I hope that wasn't TMI.
Anyway, the baby arrived today:
I'll just be using the Open Comb side. I'm looking forward to my first shave with it THIS EVENING.*
* And obviously hope that I'm not disappointed.

Just a small item - leather razor protector case for travel. Thank you, Juan from Mexico, for your craft work.
The outside is panel beating/polish/plating or just polish. The inside is a house of horrors, under the fuzz is rusty [sometimes VERY rusty] stamped thin steel, it gently pry's out with a blunt round curved spatula type tool to reveal its hidden horrors
then you make your choices.
The soap grows on you..... I hope.
What is the difference in weight for the hollow HD handle compared to the non hollow variety?
The HD handle weighs 72 grams and the HD Hollow handle weighs 56 grams.*
* IMO that's not much difference, they could easily have bored a much bigger hole in the hollow version (to make a significant difference).
That is indeed less of a difference than I thought. Love the handle but it is on the hefty side.
Vector stand just in from Blackland.
