Think I'm definitely gonna order a sight unseen kit, quite exciting not knowing what will arrive.

My new Red Point #684 - Anton Wingen, Jr. (Made in Germany). I love that Larry was able to find a Red Point box when I added that to the purchase.

Looks fantastic! Thanks!

That's it...I'm ordering one on Friday.

I've got one coming my way, I am really curious what he's sent me.

Beautiful blade! Was that purchased w/cosmetic flaws or just straight unseen?

Got my Wostenholm pipe razor in from Larry and my first two shaves went amazing.

Got mine in the mail today! Sorry about the pics, all I have is my Iphone. I got the Sight Unseen Deal with an extra Poor Man's strop, just in case. Little worried since the balsa wood came wrapped in a hospital news paper, just in case I guess.

Anyways, the razor is a Hamburg Concave with Quick Cutter engraved on the blade. Now to put it to use tonight!

I hope you have better luck with stropping than I did. I destroyed my first strop in about one hour. Glad I got a second one.

Well I didn't strop before the first shave. The letter I got said not too. So I took Larry's advice, finished dried off the razor and will strop before my next shave. Going to give my face a rest after tonight. It needs it

I received my sight unseen today, got a good looking Shumate Prince with faux tortoise scales. There is some patina on the tang and a bit of honewear, but that's about it.

Got mine today, a Wostenholm with "Peerless" etched on the blade, ivory colored scales. I have an unused Wosty that was an antique store find which I decided to leave alone until I get the hang of things, and the blade on the one I received today is considerably wider and if this isn't a full hollow, I cant imagine a grind any thinner. I'll get some pics up of both very soon.
Also, I got a large rectangular piece of leather with a note that said he was currently out of the poor man strops, but would send one in a day or so and to use this on the counter in the meantime. Cool, now ill get to see if I would like a paddle strop also!. I'm very pleased.
