Acquisitions 27th May-2 Jun

This is a mix of yesterday and todays deliveries and I got the dreaded white delivery card this morning and going by the tracking info I'm expecting another one tomorrow. :mad:

[attachment=7395]

Yesterday the MdC Fougère, the New and the Chubby arrived. Today was the Polo and the Stahly, the latter of which invoked the white card. I think this was the first time I have paid more in duty than the RM charge, it was 7 pence more. I still can't see why their administration fees are so high.

That's a really nice haul there! Shame those b******s feel the need to rip us off while ripping us off.

Nice couple items there,

I'd be curious how you find the Stahly shave if you try it with the handle twisted up and the razor purring like a gut shot lion.

Congrats on the nice additions to your shaving arsenal.,

On the plus side, my Kai Excelia has arrived.

On the minus side, the delivery website tells me that Customs have collared it so I am expecting a bastard huge bill.

Thanks guys, I'm certainly going to give it a buzz, so to speak, I quite like the size of the handle in the hand. When it's vibrating I'm not so sure, but the proof is in the pudding. :)

Actually, I did say something like "Holy crap, get me outta here fast! I do not wanna see his damn brush!" Something like that, although I didn't type it.

I like that German guy's brushes and have bought a few from him over the years, starting in 2007. The handle design you picked is one like I got for my son last year for his birthday, only I ordered his in ebony color. Your knot though is a step up I'd bet......looks comfy.

So it's too late.......Shavemac has enabled me years ago, which is why I didn't want to get the spins looking at yours.

Well the Good Doctor, I hope that takes care of any worries you had about me, Very nice addition to your shaving arsenal.

I've been a little bit quiet recently due to a new job taking most of my time, plus finding new additions to the arsenal is getting harder.

Here's a few that have arrived in the last week or so.

A superb condition Leresche #51

A mint condition Minora

This pic got my curiosity going, so I went and visisted Shavemac's website. All I could say was WOW!!! (to the confused faces of most of my colleagues!).

Didn't know they had such a wide range of silver tips. And they do wood styles and engraving as well. Think my Kent T4 is going to get old all of a sudden... :icon_razz:

...I'm tempted to buy a Sabi T2 (short handle) just for the handle, what is the quality like in person?
Click to expand...

I've just received a Cadet OC TP-02SS (same company "Shave a Buck" as the T2).

The handle is a bit like a Fatip Piccolo but thicker and a little longer. Nice weight to it but the finish is not as good as a Weber handle and it's lighter than the Weber.
In the hand you can can feel a few "prickles" from the metal, but not sharp or anything, just enables a good, comfortable grip. Remarkable handle for the price.
The thread has the same bore as regular razors (unlike the Fatip).

Only bug with the Cadet is that the "bolt" part on the cap is really long, too long for a Weber handle. This is no problem for the Cadet handle of course as it fits a shorter cap "bolt" well.

I chose a Cadet instead of a Sabi because all the handles are nice and there seem to be more reports of the poor quality of the Sabi head (closed-comb) than the Cadet head (open-comb)
