What’s new to you?

Scored a badger and boar knot from TGN. My Trotter Handcrafts Rainier Ash handle will have the badger as shown (not set yet) and the boar will go in my RR400.

That's a nice brush Tim. Great choice of a knot, too. Looks classy.

Great choice for the 400, too. A classic barber knot for a classic barber handle. [emoji106]

Mail call! These beauties showed up quickly! They are not completely flawless, but 97% of what I was expecting with basically no wear on them(they even pop a few hairs). After a light polish I’ll take em straight to my finishing hones(Escher & Calico Cream), I’m doubting they will need a full bevel set. Most Swedish razors I’ve received have good bevels and typically only need a touch up.
Super excited about these guys!!! Check out those Schreger Lines!!!

My SV Opuntia set arrived earlier today so I waited to do an evening shave. Wow, this is one great performing soap and aftershave. I don’t often use triple milled soaps (I think I only have two in the den), so it took me a little while to dial in the lather, but once I did it was great. Excellent scent on both products. All the praise SV gets on this forum is well deserved.

Oh, and this. 👍
I am excited for the Kracken to join the league! I hope they have the same success as the last expansion team - that would be fantastic. Now only they are not allowed to draft any Flyers during the expansion draft. Off limits!
 
5/7 mail call. Super happy with this one. The nanas scent reminds me of going on vacation to exotic places. It's incredible. The Gypsy smells like happy. It has a citrusy scent that reminds me a bit of candy, but more complex. I think I've found my summer soaps! Now I just hope they perform as well as they smell. 😁
