My Thuringian Stone Arrived Today..Its a Dark Blue Stone & Feels Smoother to Touch than My Escher Thuri Next to it..So..I Reckon it Maybe a Slower Cutter..My Escher Thuri has a Finishing Capacity of 16 K 0r Maybe 16 K +..If this Newly Acquired Stone Can Look Near it I Will Be Delighted..It Looks Hardly Used & Just Been Knocked about I Reckon..o_O

It has a Chip or Two on the Edge So I have Ordered Some 80 & 220 Grit Silicone Carbide to Lap it Out With..I Will Lap it to 1000 Grit with Wet n Dry After I Take the Chip Out with the Silicone Carbide..:D:D

Omega-10290-Black-Handle-Boar-Shaving-Brush-350x350.jpg


After purchasing the Omega 10081 boar, which worked well but the loft was a tad high; I thought I would give the 100290 a go. A 24mm knot with a 48mm loft. Could not find a UK retailer, but managed to get one from Maggards. Also took my first foray into vintage Gillette's, snagged a Rocket HD, an early Christmas present, I deserved it, I told myself...
 
I'm sure you will have yours today, tomorrow at the very latest, our postal system is strange at times. P.

Just arrived!! A great service from Gil, a very nice guy, he emailed me to say thank you for the order and was very attentive in providing information on each stage of the ordering process. I'm extremely pleased and I hope Wickhams can do business with him as he would be a great asset.

I highly recommend his services. The Shave Butler
