For an etch restoration, I once sharpened both ends of a medium gauge, regular sewing needle to a 12k refinement. :shrug:. The eyelet could effortlessly slip between layers of skin on my finger by...

It arrived Wednesday, but I caught a cold the might before. I was only just now feeling well enough to photograph anything from this haul. Had trouble explaining to my wife the roughly cubic foot...

Google Chrome has the feature he is describing. Others can probably do it, but not without additional plugins/downloads.

I just won a couple of strops, which virtually never pique my interest. The lot includes some DE's, a brush or three (one is a brass handle :hmmm:...), and a scuttle. There is also a "grab-bag" of...

If I might, I'd like to offer another view on the matter. Keep, or toss the scales, that is your choice. Perhaps it was stored in a confined space with razors that DID have celluloid scales, but this...

A couple of nights ago, after an exceptionally rough day at work, and an elevated blood-alcohol content, I found myself checking one of my online "honey holes". A razor was going to end while I was...

Not too shabby. Certainly not the worst "first post" ever made on here :p.

Welcome aboard! You have obviously been lurking & reading for a bit, but you should consider making an introductory post...

Ah, but does that matter when such a phone would be reshaped to resemble a Pringles chip after a hard sneeze?? :rofl2::p:rofl2:

Nice. That is definitely "shopping smart"!

Allow me to feed the "impulse" ;) hehehehe...

The Shapton M5 12k ceramic hone is only about $50 (+/- a few $$) on Amazon. It may not be a Glass series SS, but it will give you a taste of 12k for a...

I didn't even know such a thing existed! But if ever there were a type of person to know about UNUSUALLY SHARP, it'd be one of us straight razor "wackos" ;). Lol.

SWMBO and I love cheese. Our...

Just arrived in the mail today! A Genco.

Should clean up quite nicely. Some 2k sand paper, mostly for the bit of red rust around the stabilizer, and then it's off to...

One might even say we are... ON A ROLL!!!
:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao

Well, geez! It would seem that we have a trend going on!!
:rofl2::roflmao

True. But I have also seen some that were definitely abused & neglected! I've seen ones bent bad enough that neither side would latch closed. I've also seen some with rust covering more than 3/4's of...

Hmmm. Not sure, there may have been replacements you could order back in the day. Now, your best bet is probably to look for incomplete Rolls Razors or parts on the 'Bay.

Will-do! I don't think I've even held one, but I'm excited for this hybrid razor of sorts. IMO, it'll be the perfect one for when I go visit my family (5-6 hours drive each way)!

You're darn right, I'm gonna use it!!! But not as soon as it gets here... things must happen!

First, I will take everything apart that is suppose to do so, inspect it, put it back together, and...

Woohoo!!! I finally snatched up one of those sweet hybrid razors!

Incoming, one Rolls Razor!!!

It may have a rough spot or two, but considering I paid more for the flat-rate...

I've got an Omega S-Pro synthetic, I believe a slightly different model to yours. It is a good brush. Yours may act differently than mine, but don't be surprised if you are not able to build a lather...

Very nice. Since diving into SRs, I've been intrigued by those Rolls Razors. Would be perfect for when I go to the south end of the state to visit my family!

The problem is: I can be a bit of a...

According to the pics, that's a Wosti FBU... nice!

Though not as fancy as fountain pens, I do prefer better equipment than what is provided by your typical "Bic" ballpoint pen. In school, I used a Pilot Precise V5. Because I work in a food production...

FBU is an extremely shortened abbreviation for: Wade & Butcher - For Barber's Use.

Soooo... in other words: more than a life's supply.
