Two "Double Arrow" straights from stamps on the `bay.

Pretty damn nice out of the box, er, envelope, but took `em over some 3M abrasive film mounted on 1/4" glass and oooo-boy... shaaaarp.

I greased them up with some gun oil and put them away until I get around to rescaling them.

Well, what came for me over the past few days was:
-blade sampler from westcoastshaving (the economy one)
-samples from Truefitt and Hill (the creams, is there enough for two shaves in them?)
-and what I think is a 'new style' Gillete from the 30's, can anyone help identify that anymore? this was free from the family basement! can't wait to give it a try.

A coworker told me a couple of months ago that she had a couple of those "old style" razors.

She finally brought them in, a Z1 Fatboy (1979?) and a E4 Blue tip flair SS.

[Tinkerputzer]

Two bowls Nomad from C&E and a Shavemac 501 in finest from Jim at Vintage Blades. I'm extremely happy with the performance of both

Cool. Describe the Z1, it can't be a fatboy. Is it a black handled adjustable razor? If so, it is a super adjustable.

[D.Irving79]

my 1979 black handle is a Z2 so it must be.

You are right, E4 Fatboy, E4 Bluetip which shaves goood!
Don't know where the Z came from, but the fatboy in box is in very good shape.

Ended up at the T&H store in Chicago and bought a Dovo 5/8 stainless w/ebony scales. Did the edge tests and found it to be shave ready. Can't wait for my beard to grow back!

I just got a very nice package from Shavemac a few days ago. I got my vintage Simpson Polo rebristled with a 20mm knot, 46mm loft, and another genuine horn Shavemac, but this time I with a 23mm knot and 44mm loft. At first I thought that similar to the Rooney heritage brushes, it would hog too much of the lather, but that is not the case. Both brushes are amazing! I took these pictures post bloom.

Last week I got two tubs of Honeybee Essentials - Bergamot and Floral Euphoria - both are excellent
