Acquisitions Monday March 26 - Sunday April 1

Four English Tools arrived today and I'm most pleased.
The 2 flaired tip English Super Speeds are the EXACT weight of their American counterparts, the only diffence being the noticeable English "Gap" between the TTO knob and the handle of the razor. One of the "Rockets" was a Gold one. I say WAS because much of the Gold Plating has worn off the head. It is a Heavy razor and should shave well. There is discussion about whether these are "Rockets" or Jr. Aristocrats. I'm not sure... Still glad to have them arrive and will test drive them all soon.

PS I NEED to STOP buying Razors!!!!!!

It's amazing what a little Simichrome and a lot of patient "elbow grease" can accomplish!

I'll start off with my new custom knife. pictures taken before it left the makers shop - my camera skills are no where as good. it is wicked sharp & has beautiful craftsmanship.

I had asked my wife and daughter to keep their eyes open for a piggy band to use for used blades. They came back from a mall trip with this for me:
