Decided to splurge at Maggard’s given LPL wasn’t atop Obie’s soap list, and their clearance section had this #1 contender at $20 off:

Castle Forbes Cedarwood / Sandalwood shaving cream and post-shave balm arrived last week. Smells of random bits of sawdust with nary any cedar and/or sandalwood.

Least the scent is mild and the...

I was also fortunate enough to receive 2 strops from Gabe today....plus 2 Jnats and a koma. I could only keep HAD at bay for so long:

I'm sure a few gentlemen on this site have size XL hands or larger so makes perfect sense to me.

Someone said they are seriously not in the mood to double their money on a $150 labeled Escher? That's rich.

:)

Tom and I worked out a Livi 8/8+ / Chandler 9/8 trade to compare some big guns!

:medvl:

This will be my first razor over well over 8/8 in size. My Livi is fractionally wider than 8/8.

My good buddy always bakes his own bread and has the Hobart branded version of that mixer before Kitchenaid purchased them.

Pretty sure the originals were built as solid as a Sherman tank.

Duh, old-school TV test pattern. The ones I recall from the '70s living in Houston -- as in trying to stay up for SNL -- were much more colorful for the 3 VHF and 2 UHF channels (or, was that vice...

Hell, Shaun, I’m 50 and don’t get it. Looks like a gov’t civil warning beacon but guessing maybe it’s the lead in to a commercial for something.

Roy? Help us ‘tweeners out.

LED assisted to compensate for the sh!tty optics -- makes perfect sense! :gaah:

I haul a portable work lamp over to the sink when I am honing so lighting is a non-issue for me. Even less an...

John asked me if I missed the light in my Chinese loupe, Jerry.

:roflmao

Funny how the 10x BelOMO image looks larger, sharper and brighter than one seen through these 40X LED Chinese loupes.

Received from Jerry last week in trade for .25/.50 micron diamond sprays he wanted to experiment with:

About time someone scooped up Gabe's sweet Kikuboshi Orion.

Your whiskers have no idea what's comin', Jamie! Poor little bastards. :p

Good call on keeping that fine, vintage strop, as I would do the very same thing. I’ve really come to appreciate strops this year.

That doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm happy you got a premium strop at a bargain no less. Hope you really enjoy the Kanayama!

Nice score on the Kanayama 70k, Joel! :)

Nice Friodur #14, Jamie. Man, would I ever love to test shave that baby! :)

One of Tom's treasured Tripoli #941 strops arrived yesterday. Pictorial evidence forthcoming.

Need some more ambient light and.....:needcoffee:

Castle Forbes Lime shave cream and the post-shave balm is my favorite 1-2 shaving punch.

(WARNING: Use of these products may cause moderately increased risk of faceturbation.)

Looks to be 13/16 or 7/8 possibly. Nice find, Tom! :beer2:

Size was not listed in the auction. I had presumed that the Hess 44 came in only one size. I'll measure the blade when it arrives, but I am guessing the size is more like 11/16. :shrug:

Indeed, Tom! I asked Glen for a second opinion. He had just enough time to add this item to his Watch List before the deal vanished. :gwh:
