What are you anxiously waiting to be delivered ???

3 R. Saito Razors are on their way to me from Japan. Two of them are the Smiling SK-3 and one is a wedge French point. The SK series from R. Saito was produced mainly by Kikuboshi & Hayashi Diamond. R. Saito was a famous barber in Japan that designed razors for barber trainees. Much like A.B. Moler did with his barber school and his The King razors and Dovo variants.

There are the SK 2 and SK 1 variants of this razor with the most exaggerated smiles of any straight razors, but for now I'm not so interested. I imagine honing them to be a major chore, but who knows!

Using up the free tube of Godrej cream has gotten me curious, so I splurged, for Father’s Day, you know. Yeah, Father’s Day, that’s why.

I picked ones that are said to be mildly scented. Please note that I chose the green, not the red Cella, which smells like someone barfed up a pound of overripe cherries. 🤢 Hey, if that appeals to you, go for it. 🤮

Whoops, put in the low low bid on this NOS sealed Williams shaving soap bowl and won it. I’m surprised no one bid on it!?!? This vintage bowl sold for less than the scalpers are trying to sell Williams pucks for now days!

Awsome score. looks like it's in great shape, and I beleive the picture on the Label is different (I am pretty sure I have a couple with a locomotive on it...but i could be wrong. Something that looks THAT good is hard to use but i would definately look to put that into use at some point. Fortunately I have a couple of more scrungy looking bowls I can/do use so my more pristine ones can stay safely tucked away for the apocolypse. My favorite so far has been the old Yardley stuff and the Williams Tonsorial Pucks.
