July 2016 Acquisitions Thread

My RazoRock Wundabar slant just arrived.

@Nightguard I want that bloody cool looking handle

If you have a lathe and rudimentary skills you could make a suitable adapter. There may even be one somewhere.

I bought some 12mm dia SS rod online this arvo... we'll see what I can do with that when it arrives! At least it won't need plating!

Looking forward to seeing the mod.

Thanks. If it turns out okay I migh make a few. The Gem razors are reasonably common and inexpensive and a good source of decent handles.

Better than that they are the best non straight available.

My 1912 is great. Close to straight shave without being a straight.

 

[Nightguard]

This lot just arrived.

No this is NOT the PCTB4 and, technically, it is not even my acquisition - but I know you like pics.

I sent out to the males in my family a shaving kit the Christmas before last. My nephew in Perth has embraced it and already received some further supplies including vintage blades. He was nearing the end of his current TOBS cream when I was there last month. I promised him I would shoot him across a 'care package'.

Hopefully this should keep him out of trouble for a while ...

I bet the poor bugger has to start a spreadsheet rating each soap 1-15 on many different data streams as part of the deal!

Wow, UNCLE MARK... that is very impressive!

Now THAT is a quality idea mate - I will develop something tonight to email to him ...

Holy cow! @Mark1966 that's a lot of ice cream during you're shave, have fun and try not to get yourself sick after eating too many

Um.... UNCLE MARK... Those little bullet-shaped white things in the box... they're not aerosol plugs, are they?

a) Nice try - but no banana. Hop on board the PCTB3a (Paste & Cut Travelling Box #3 - Reviews and Comments) or wait until PCTB4

b) No, he doesn't use aerosols, I've got him using TOBS as a simple beginning approach

Thanks anyway... but you've got to be kidding... I'm in enough trouble with packages arriving in the mail all the time!

You can stick em where you like.

 

[littleaussiebleeder]

You can stick em where you like.

What... and convert my aerosol into a home repository for foam suppositories?

But this one gets passed on! No keep, no foul

No, sounds like you need to buy her some flowers
