Waiting for four more NF brushes that will help to fill some gaps in my little collection.

Three of the five New Forest wooden handle prototypes that Peter ever made (I know Hodge has one so that leaves one floating around somewhere....)
Apparently the reason why these weren't put into production was that Peter couldn't find a cost effective way to waterproof them in a way that he was happy with.

In the photo below (from left to right):
- 22mm 2 band in an Oak handle,
- 2 band in an Tambootie handle,
- 22m silvertip in Tambootie, and
- a 1901 (which may be the very first 'travel brush' size that he made)

Will post some more photos when they arrive....

I'm getting a Standard razor and stand in black, Shaver's Heaven Spiced Mahogany, Reef Point Dragons Blood soap and best of all a Terry's chocolate orange. I put my Merkur Futur razor set for sale on the forum and ended up trading with another forum member. Haven't heard about these products until now so it will be interesting.
What is the best thing about getting this stuff is what makes it happen,,,,,honesty and trust!! Sometimes this is in short supply these days.

Thanks to 1morepasswill!!!

I'm waiting on a tub each of Tabula Rasa Cardamom and Tangerine & Vetiver. I wanted to try Tabula but couldn't decide between these two scents, so I went for both. Wink

I just got a Wilkinson Sword empire razor off of eBay. Smile

Can't wait to try it out. I paid quit a bit for so I hope it's worth it.

Picked up another small shaving lot for $15 that will be fun to check out when it gets here next week.
It contains;
- One NIB Merkur MII,
- One Col Ichabod Conk "Pure bristle" shaving brush, and
- One pewter scuttle made in Sheffield.

I already have a couple of Merkur MIIs so I know I'll like that one and on the other side of the spectrum is the Col Ichabod Conk brush that is pretty much a toss-away.

The thing that I'm most curious about is the pewter scuttle. Looks great I think.

Easily. They seem to be very hard to come by.
