Acquisitions Monday October 16th - Sunday October 22nd

[Wolverine]

Bob,
Sigs just seem to have a way of finding their way home with me. Some like 1911's, some like wheel guns...... Sig's are my poison. I don't like to say "acquire" when I talk about sigs.... more like "adopt."

How about you let me "adopt" that beauty, and you can "adopt" a nearly unused tub of Taylor's cream from my collection?
Don't know abot the pen though... Can it write in space?
Sorry just goofing here.

I think I have developed some form of AD...
My most recent acquisitions:

Merkur HD
Merkur 23
200 Derby blades
Scotto's cream samples
T&H Trafalgar cream
TOBS Mr Taylor cream and a/s balm
C&E Sandalwood soap
MP classic Silvertip
MP best badger travelbrush
TOBS Sandalwood shower gel
CF The preshave
Höganäs Shaving Mug and Bowl

It could have been much much worse
Oh almost forgot... I bought a new Beamer. But I get more pleasure and satisfaction from handling my Merkur HD

Deal.... BUT one caveat.... I'll give you the bullets first

Maybe I had better cover myself with Superlather. It's slickness will protect me...

I kind of thought you were a glock guy...don't you have a 17L or 34? Not that you can't have multiple toys...variety is the spice of life...

Oh - I've got some glocks, Springfields, HK's (even a little P7M8), Rugers, and my beloved sig-sauers. While I do enjoy Glocks, as they are a fine weapon - they do not hold a candle to my Sigs as far as accuracy/durability/reliability is concerened. Glocks are ONE of the most reliable handguns out there... but my experience has show that the sigs are THE most reliable. Not only are they reliable - but unlike the Glock - which has "combat" accuracy (read: medeocre at best - even in their practical/tactical models which I own as well) sig's have match grade accuracy, and I find my sigs to shoot better out of the box than semi-custom 1911's - for example Kimbers.

Sig P229 in .40S&W here. Safe and accurate. I want something in .45.

My favorite pistol is my Browning Hi-Power. Fits my hand, accurate, but not neccessarily the safest to have around for home defense. Someday, it will make a trip to Wayne Novak.

The closest gun I've handled to being an extension of my arm/hand was a CZ75 Bouska. Awful black painted finish, but incredibly accurate for an inexpensive, off the shelf gun. Felt just right. I wish I had bought one back in the mid-80's.

Wow. This is getting OT. I detect a new thread about to be born.

Edit: Done. New firearms thread over at the Babershop.

A shipment from Charles arrived.

I decided that my brush collection was simply incomplete without a Savile Row silvertip. Looking over the models, I decided on getting the long-handled 3226. I have included some photos to offer a sense of scale: the 3226 is a very big brush!

The first shot has the 3226 (pre-bloom: I haven't used it yet) next to a Simpson's Chubby 2 and an Omega Green&Gold. The second shot shows the 3226 with the C&E EJ Super (silvertip) and a Kent BK12. See what I mean?

Cheers,

Nice choice Danny, she is a beauty. I really love brushes with a long handle.
Cheers, DJ.

Thanks DJ! The handle feels really great. I can't wait to mix-up a batch of superlather with this brush! In fact, I am torn whether I should do just that tomorrow or use the new QED Espresso soap stick (Charles was out of Mocha Java). Hmmm...decisions, decisions...

Cheers,

 

[Queen of Blades]

Exquisite looking brush, Danny!

 

[Nitrox]

1 tube Pollena Lider shave cream
2 bottles Florena Sensitive AS Balsam
1 bottle T&H 1805 cologne

 

[dszpiro]

Exquisite looking brush, Danny!

Thanks JoAnna! I plan on taking another photo tomorrow after I use it to show the post-bloom appearance of the brush.

I hope all is well in your driveway tonight.

Cheers,

 

[Queen of Blades]

Yeah, me too.

I'm going to try going to bed early, to ignore anything that doesn't wake me up.

Got my eBay Fat Boy today. Had a little cleaning up to do, but it came out nice. The picture doesn't really do it justice.

Beautiful brush Danny. I was also debating wheter I should order one of those.

Can't wait to hear what you think of it.
