What are you waiting on to arrive?

[fistofthenorthstar]

[...] Secondly, a shaving soap in a very nice metal bowl. The metal bowl is in my eyes the most beautiful one and it is the main reason for the purchase

It arrived today: Musgo Real shaving soap in metal bowl. I'm looking forward to the premiere tomorrow.

Another AliExpress Bargain.
New User Coupon saved me £3+.
Descent little brush on its way to me, for just over £3... Not to be sniffed at.

Good little Razor , and for £ 4.79 what is not to like,

Pair it up with a Feather; and it becomes a great little shaver. My travelling one, as it happens.

£10 on that well known tat site.
Apparently a loft find taken into a charity shop.
Just need some blades and a bit courage and I will give it a try when it arrives, oh yes it comes with a 1950's Culmak brush. View attachment 42390View attachment 42391View attachment 42392View attachment 42393

Is it worth a tenner?

Absolutely. One of my favourite SEs.

 

[Scotshave]

Is there anyway I can date this?

I'm going to hazard a guess: 1950s? Those in the know may correct me. It looks similar to mine. It looks a steal for £10, though. Great razor, imo.

Waiting for two OSP soaps: Grapefruit and Menthol; and Bay Rum.

 

[Scotshave]

Oh, and BBA balm...

 

[Tony'schin]

Absolutely. One of my favourite SEs.

What blades would you suggest?

A custom UFO Kaiser Red Bronze razor handle is on the way.

And, after scraping together enough cash and having a very generous seller, a Plisson Plexi 20 HMW. My Rooneys are great, but I've missed having one of these vintage Plissons.
