I just got notified that Noble Otter Lonestar was delivered today so that will be my soap and splash for my shave tomorrow!
Cool! I bought “Rarw” a few weeks ago and it’s a stellar soap base - punches slightly ahead of B&M IMHO. Scent is OK - citrus dandelions.... but the tag line for dads sold me

I saw that one and was debating, but I know I wanted Lonestar. I have a sample of it and I have been trying to make it last because I love the scent so much!Cool!

When “Rawr” is finished (or another soap!) I will definitely be getting more Noble Otter. good stuff! I’ll have to look into Lonestar
But smaller soap

But smaller soap
Wait, there's a soap that will make my butt smaller???But smaller soap
It all worked out, this is what the gentleman said, “thanks for your offer to pay me back the refund! I’ll only accept half, because I make you wait so long... thanks for being such a great customer!!!”
These are my two favorite diamonds in the rough from the broken/parts box from the 8.18.2020 lot:
Rodgers Refined Steel 15/16, full wedge with beautiful bone scales, broken on the non show side. I may try to save them and add a liner for stability. They have a wonderful patina and would be a shame to loose.
W. Greaves and Sons, I AM GOOD AND WILL SHAVE WELL, 6/8 full wedge. It’s never going to be perfect due to a few pits near the lettering, but it doesn’t matter. I think I’ll replace the scales with horn and reuse the gorgeous bullet washers. This one is one of my bucket list razors!

Those will be nice when cleaned up.
Thanks, they are in the restorations backlog.... I'm purchasing a much nicer buffing wheel setup than I currently have. This will help me work through projects much faster. I've been working off of four 6 inch jewelers wheels, they are a royal pain, but get the job done....
The new setup will be an Eastwood 1 HP wheel with easily removable wheels.

Nice. What compounds do you use?

Arrived TWO days early! Thank you @BarberDave @CBLindsay @CVargo and @Marco SV for making this possible!
Emory, White rouge, Green rouge, and Red rouge. I'm toying around with using grease-less compounds and picking up 4 extra wheels, so I can skip some sanding work early. I'm not sure how much extra this will help, but I don't think it would hurt. I remember watching some old Lynn Abrams videos and watching him use greasless to move through rust and corrosion much faster.
