October 2014 Acquisitions.

i'm waiting on a utopia $10 DE.
it's my first modern 3 piece.

Heljestrand no 23

A cadet open comb TP-02ss - my first open comb!

A short comb Gillette New rhodium plated from the States!

Cobra Classic & NOS blades
Semogue Texugo
Semogue SE 2013

A Sam Andrews Custom "MacDaniels II" holster for my Ruger SR1911 Commander. Going on 3 months, but I knew that when I ordered it. Great product well worth the wait.

Just purchased a vintage Segal DE on ebay. It's not an open comb, but rather, a safety bar, which I've rarely seen. It has some pitting on the cap and will surely need to be re-plated, but the price was good and I think it'll clean up nicely. There's an interesting article by D. Smythe on HTGAM about modifying standard DE blades for the Segal razor. The Segal story is a neat bit of history and shows the triumph of money and marketing (Gillette) over a good idea by a smaller firm. Can't wait to get this into shape.

TOBS Shaving Shop cologne and a semogue cerda brush!

I'm waiting on Clubman Pinuad Virgin Island Bay Rum aftershave. Never used it before but going off recommendations of members here.

Waiting on an L4 Gillette Tech I found on Craigslist that's never been used.

Just a blade sampler. I'm a Personna Lab fan, but I'd love to find a decent affordable blade to rotate with the Labs. The sampler will include Shark super stainess and super chromes, both of which I'm looking forward to trying out.
