Acquisitions May 2026

Just arrived and hand washed and lathered for tomorrow’s shave. A lovely Padauk handle “Eagle” with 25mm STD X density knot by Rudy Vey, to match my AD LE Fiery Mane. I now see why Rudy is held in high esteem by Forum members

Padauk is lovely especially when it's freshly turned but I don't like the fact that it oxidases and goes brown.

I picked up this 2nd generation Gillette Aristocrat Junior for an absolute steal this week.

The Razor is in great condition, mechanically perfect and doesn't really seem like it'd been used as the usual vintage razor soak and cleaning didn't really throw out any of the usual gunk.
I'll most likely give it a whirl for tomorrows shave.

You’re better off getting a Gillette Rocket 500HD
