The last of my inbound arrived today. I've now dumped my eBay watch lists and am going to take a break to enjoy what I have.
I bought this lot for the Hallmark, the Lather Catcher and what I thought was a Single Ring. The SR turned out to be s Big Fellow[emoji1]
I also got a modified Gillette where the comb has been carefully removed from one side. I'm sure this one will be aggressive. I'm not sure what possessed somebody to do that.
I also picked up a new mug and a beautiful Hien straight. It's a Kamisori grind and looks to be NOS.
Good night!

Nice haul. That's only the 2nd one of those Waverley mugs I've seen intact. I love mine.

Thanks. I saw another one in an antiques store that was faded and expensive. I'm glad I waited. This one is very nice.

I thought mine was hand painted, can we exchange photos? Maybe do a thread in Shaving soap?

After two little piggies yesterday, a bloomin' horse turned up today!
I've struggled with horse hair before, tangling up during the lather phase but I liked it enough to give it another go.
This brush is smaller, more slender, than it looks. The knot is just right - tight enough and just long enough to have a backbone, be soft enough in the length without tangling. After two good, vigorous bowl lathers as a test, the hair is not knotted.
Result!
I'm going to enjoy this one, I'm sure

Yeah, it's an attractive one, much akin to the older Rubbersets and so on ... it was about £15. My thinking was, if I didn't get on with the knot, I'd re-knot it with synthetic - the 'ole is just right for a Muhle screw-in from shaving.ie.
Yeah, it's retro ... and moderne.
So far, it handles well. I'll give it a first run for proper soon enough.
