what is your "holy grail" shave item?
- Thread starter goatee
- Start date
I agree.
Me looking at 1/4 grind Grelot
My thoughts exactly. I can never have too many hollow-ish 6/8 Le Grelots.
Any of the Putman, Reed, or other 1880-1905 Boston/Worcester made metal lathes that were in the Edison, Gillette, or A.C. Fairbanks machine shops at the time....Edison was the only one not in Boston...he was up the road a few miles in West Orange, NJ.
Then I could make new parts for and repair old Gillettes (and other stuff) on the same machines that made them.
Other than that, any and more of any of the prewar 3 piece Gillettes in original cases with all the case candy...the older the better (pre Diamond Logo is always nice), condition really not important.....oh, and a case of NOS 1904 original 3 hole Gillette blades still rust free and as sharp as the minute before they were wrapped.
Oh, and a couple nekkid females from any Scandinavian or Northern European Olympic Swim Team to lather my face before each shave (type of brush unimportant), and say "Oooooh, daht's klohse" and/or "Aaaaah, smooot" during and after the shave.
I don't want for much, really....

I'm new to DE shaving so I'm sure my object of lust will change in the future, but I want a Darwin Deluxe more than anything else I've seen.
W&B FBU with custom spalted scales hand-crafted from Cangooner Enterprises.
Ha ha! If you find the blade, I'll take care of the rest.
That, my friend, is a done deal!
A Military Set
The 1947 Anglo American Aristocrat!
I just got my first one: a duke 3 in best.
From here I'm not sure what would be next. Maybe a mergress?
How about a $5k shopping spree at pasteurs?

I think it would be King Camp Gillette`s own razor. But the ones i have it is my - Vintage Gillette 1930 new style open comb, Vintage Gillette Super speed Red Tip and my Gem 1912.
I'll make a stab, norwegian C. Brose straight razors (more specifically the 7 day set)... awesome spine work, and from the motherland! Mid-late 1800's, as that is when Oslo was called "Christiania", then late 1800's to early 1900's it was "Kristiania", then back to Olso.
It gotta be my localy handmade scuttle, It has my name on it and i use it EVERY shave for my brush to warm in between passes
.....and here we have it
.....and here we have it

To hopefully have a M&F L7 brush.
Since I´m a swede i gotta drool after a C.V Heljestrand MK134..
I'm going to rock the boat. I love DE shaving but I'm not so enthralled with the 'traditional' image it has.
My DE89 razor looks modern and smart so I'd like a big, fat brush with a carbon fibre handle. None of this lathe-turned mahogany, buffalo horn or reindeer antler nonsense.
Something as big as the Kent BLK12:
In fact, there may be something like that already available - does anyone know of it if so?

I didn't see anything, that thrilled me more than that "bastard".
It's a combination of the last two razors I bought. The 30's Aristocrat and the 47/48 Aristocrat both replated in rhodium.

In my dreams I see NOS Damaskeenes and Streamlines
