Acquisitions for February 2011

**Malaspina** · 02-01-2011, 05:26 PM

I got my first straight today from a used store here in town....

I'm going to send this out at some point to get cleaned up and shave ready. All I can read on it is ____ ___ Bros. Co. Ltd. Toronto and then the Handmade on the other side.

The handle is plastic and I don't know that it is all that high quality, but hey for $20 incl tax I'm happy.

I bought 1 kilo of P.160 and I'll be getting my tax return friday so yippee!!!
Hope I don't spend too much!

~~in the process of pulling~~ just pulled the trigger on an omega 80097

Gee all I got was 3 VDH glycerin pucks for $5.00. But than again it's hard to hide bigger items from SWMBO .

We have a somewhat weird shaped bathroom and I get a get a corner I have to keep neat to avoid any suspicions of purchases

Received my first straight and a poor man's strop kit from LarryAndro. I am now anxious to try it out.

**benvh** · 02-02-2011, 04:55 PM

Received my first injector off the bay. Now if we can just get that injector group buy going I can try it out...

there's a good chance that you have seen it, and just skimmed over because every other pic i've seen of it makes it look drab and bland

I'm fairly sure the real thing probably splits the difference of the two, but hoping it's closer to the first pic i posted

That's a beautiful looking boar. What are the dimensions?

Edit: Just found it. Yes, presentation is everything.

My 2nd straight razor arrived this morning. A 6/8 Revisor - which is closer to 7/8 than 6/8. I should hopefully be sending it out to someone on Monday for honing.

Your wish is granted

The bottom can be screwed off, that's how they put the knot in by the looks of it.
The brush is dodecagon shaped. I don't think it has ever been used.

Soren, why you did not put your brand new "5X" butterscotch brush? Nice acquisitions anyway.
