I Like Variety So...

Got a few Chinese things ordered so got two of these copper coloured handles.

I also got two more chrome plated zamac Yaqi Flipside combination comb heads - Now I have 4 best of both heads in different colours.

Also ordered a quality heavy Yaqi Telstar 316 Stainless Head.

And because I like green razors so much I ordered this lovely Antiga Barra de Bairro Safety Razor in Green

I also got another Yuma YM-401 because I gifted mine and needed another replacement straight away because it's right up my street.

I wanted a cheapie with bite so got this on order - it's called a Foreign Holics Golden Brass.

I do have blind lucky dip shaves and the Dragon sometimes chooses random items for me so I don`t get bored, complacent or rusty.

It`s more interesting and fun as well - that's why I liked being self-employed - no constant boring routines.

I was a smithy years ago and I`m used to angles and sharpening things after 45 years, used sub-par straights the most so all these are luxury to me.

From now on I will blame the "Dragon" for my impulse purchases as well!

I am looking forward to hear some more about the Telstar. People assumed its a Lupo in disguise, but many here refuted that claim. So let's see to what razor you will compare it.

I`ve just started down the road with artisan and real quality shaving - I knew how to shave before I got here in early October and I knew by the head shape how`d they`d feel - I like experiments and odd things in general - I'm collecting yeah but it will inevitably come to a natural conclusion because I have to limit myself Iridian.

The Dragon has been all over me since I got on here because I am really making an effort with my grooming for the first time in yonks - years ago I used the same razor for decades but now I like to chop and change and have different shaves everyday with different handle / head / blade combos and I`m loving doing her legs in the bath and having a go at bay rum etc - I need to do more before Christmas - get two litres of Red Leg.

The Telstar looks interesting to me and I have no idea what a Lupo is - a few weeks ago I knew no names or models of razors and still just go mostly on looks.

What a great hobby - looking so suave and debonair plus smelling great will help you woo or retain a lady and sometimes even get a big contract - it`s happened to me when I made an extra special effort and got noticed by a businesswoman !

The best of luck in your quest Iridian - I`ll try and review them when they land even though I'm not OCD, pedantic or scientific - I`m a Caveman !
