What’s new to you?

Someone posted in another neighborhood a sale of these on Italian Barber. It's a 24mm Silvertip in the barrel handle design.

Received it yesterday. Ready for my Sunday evening shave.

On clearance so why not give them a go. Smell pretty good to me so they’ll feature in tomorrow’s SOTD.

It took a spell to get here, but a beauty of a Jasper 8x3 that may need a bit of a tune up. I polished up a small knife blade on it. I finally got my finisher!

How do you "tune up" a hard smooth stone?

Two straights arrived. The first is a Simmons Hardware No.8 Special full hollow bellied grind.

The other is a Simmons Hardware No 421 Barber's Pet:

The new soap from Fine Accoutrements arrived today. Looking forward to giving it a try and seeing how it holds up to the old soaps performance wise.

Some of the vintage Wilkinson Sword 'New' blades, reputed to be equal to Light Brigades

My first budget AC setup...thanks to a local Yaqi supplier, got it for a very affordable cost. 1st shave tomorrow...with the heavier brass handle. The aluminum handle is so feather-light...

It’s not perfectly flat, so I’m “Givin’ it the business” with a diamond lapping plate.

The product of several nice trades, thanks @Spider & @MilkCrate.

Received this tonight. As promised, @OpusX , I lathered some so I could give you my impression:

It's a mildly (synthetic) lime scented soap. There's a definitive creaminess to it. The lime is fleeting and in the end it's pretty boring.

It's different than the original scent and definitely not as good. I'm glad the original tube is easier to come by. Nonetheless, it's something different at least and probably more enjoyable in 90° weather?

Came in the mail yesterday, came apart nicely.

My new stuff looks kinda rough compared to all the bling bling on this page!

It’s a diamond in the rough.

My Timeless .95 Titanium arrived today. I used to have it in Stainless steel, but it was a little too heavy. I have the aluminum Henson, and it's a bit too light. I think this one will hit the sweet spot!

In today from Timeless Razors. Was hoping to get it before the FFFMM ( Fixed Four For March Madness, on another forum) shave event but, it just didn’t make it in time. Oh well, still going to give it a go and dial it in. The Aluminum razor is from their scratch&dent specials for get this, $50US! Heck of a deal and the razor looks pristine. I’m not a fan of lightweight razors (though I do have a few that perform quite well) but, this razor does feel good in the hands. And the handle is their new Crown Ti and it’s a looker. Solid products from Timeless and just a class act vendor. They get it.....
