Don't forget - you're talking to a man that already has a pretty strong vintage collection. I'd like to add a Gillette Aristocrat (safety bar version) at some point and then it's complete.
What are you waiting on to arrive?

What knot do you have in plan for it?
I have a brush which I think might interest you for a donor knot.
26mm knot, with a 57mm loft.
Pictures taken after 5-6 shaves, no break in method, breaking in nicely. Quite a dense knot, the bristles are quite thin and the tips are very soft.
Can be bought for about £5-6 in the UK.

Where did you buy yours if you don't mine me asking .
Paul.
I bought mine from Goodfellas Smile in Italy but Shaving Time have it stock for £6.51, and they have a 10% coupon.
It has the same loft height as a 10066 style brush but with a wider knot, I think it performs a bit like a 10066 but with a bit more backbone.
Early days but I am liking it a lot so far.

Had one - gave it to a friend. I've opted for stainless GEM razors

It’ll be amazing with a nice synthetic knot.
So I’ve heard! It was recommended to me by our own @Boycie83 !

Hopefully all goes well, I won't get it till the 2nd ~ 4th of March, (maybe) they've been snowed in and somewhat powerless for a while down in Texas where it's coming from.Can't wait for the big reveal once you have restored it.
Paul.
I'm a bit anxious myself!
I would say it’s more like I enabled you to enable me thereWhoa - are you suggesting I enabled you!?
same with cryogen !- Status
