The Webbed Wonder is left scratching his head how I snaffled a 1936 silver plated French import Aristorcrat so easily.
Edit: it polished beautifully. Pic in the "today I have mostly been" thread.

Received this great leather sheath made by @twhite over on TSD who kindly sent one over to me. 
Now if only the razor that is intended for it would get here as well - it seems like the Canadian Caribou package service is taking a loong time.
Also received these two Heljestrand MK No 24 straight razors.
The one at the bottom has one cracked scale but the top one looks great. Both have nice looking blades.
I got both of them for $10 and I'm thinking maybe have the top one cleaned and honed to shave ready and, if possible, trade the second one as payment for the service (+ shipping).

The mailman was also kind enough to drop off my recently acquired $40 Kent T12 brush.
Really love the tortoise handle and the knot is very full and dense. Feels great.
And man...this thing was bigger than I thought - it's a 30mm knot I believe and it will be really interesting to use
Here it is next to a L'Occitane Plisson for a bit of size comparison:

Saw this and couldn't resist it ........ Was only £15 delivered and it's not like you see it come around that often ....... at least not for a price you'd be willing to pay ........

Although I've been mostly rediscovering the joys of Semogue boars, I couldn't resist this used 2013 Special Edition silvertip.

Nice, ever since I bought my 2 band SOC , which I love ; I've wondered if that one you bought would be the perfect brush with the slightly softer hair. Enjoy.

Thanks, I will!
The tips are nearly as soft as my Neep box wood silvertip (which has the softest tips of any brush I've tried), and the handle is a beauty. Very nice indeed.

The knot arrived for my vintage Gillette handle, a Muhle Silvertip Fibre at 19mm:

That is a lot of fun! Very nice!
Now, you need a heavy cotton shirt with detachable collar and a lady in a long, heavy, modest dress to stand alongside with her hand on your shoulder while you shave.

Received two Schick razors in the mail today:
1) A Schick N3
This one is in near mint condition and bought from Gary at shoeboxshavebox.
Apart from being great at communication Gary accepted my lower-than-listed price for the razor and threw in some freebies in the box (Speick soap and an Arko ASB I've never seen before). Speaking of things you've never seen before odds are you'll find some on his site.
The razor itself might just have the most comfortable handle I've ever experienced on any injector razor. It's thick, sturdy with a fantastic rubbery feel so yes, @riverrun the handle is indeed great
2) A Schick N1
Not quite as mint out of the box but it appears to just need a good cleaning and it will get there
The two N's next to each other for comparison:
Now, dumb question, can someone link me a photo of how an N2 looks like?

Not a great photo but
Description merely says 'No Chrome accent strip'.
