Is that specifically for a half-DE or for the longer single edge shaper blade?

If you find it doesn't take these because of the thickness of the spine then it might well take a Feather Cut type, which has a much thinner spine and slips out of the likes of Weck.

... actually, a really nice shave despite being for nape shaping.

It was a cheap purchase so taking a chance. Hoping the Hair shaper blades work but thanks for the tip on the others as an option to check if needed

It’s arrived. My Black Friday titanium Vector. Best of all no customs to pay as they put a value of £72 on the packaging (I didn’t ask them to). Guess what I’m doing tomorrow morning?

I finally got hold of the missing Unicorn that I have been after for ages
My Charcoal goods Brass Stinger with all the base plates arrived woohoo.
I did a shed load of overtime to buy it but I am over the moon with finally owning one.
Now to ponder over should I let it patina or seal it to keep it shiny hmmmmm.
It's the crown jewel of my collection.
Have an amazing weekend everyone woohoo.

Sat 3rd December

Though I have the Ivory handled Schick I1, I always wanted the black handled version as I like the way it looks.

That Darn Robb 26mm Maggards SHD Knot made for the meet-up at Pasteur Pharmacy in New York.
I’m really pleased with this brush however the pictures don’t do it justice

Not everyone’s cup of tea
but this is for project work when i’m board working away.
All these came from Chisel & Hound although clearly none are C&H brushes

I presume you are going to replace the knots of most if not all the brushes/handles? I think thjey will all make some great looking brushes. I myself am a fan of the vintage aesthetic when it comes to brush handles.

I refurbed a brush once and ended up replacing both the knot and the handle.
