What’s new to you?

Great question…definitely not wood…but otherwise I have no clue. I’m banking on faux ivory (if any authorities happen to be reading) 😂
If I had to guess from the picture I think they may be celluloid.


@GearNoir very nice indeed. Looks like a win.

My new razor came in the mail. Seems the area I thought was only a small ding/chip is a full on crack. Unuseable...😭

That sucks when that happens, If you can't return it be sure to keep the scales they look usable for a transplant.

I’ve been collectI got old school scents for a bit now - hard to believe that fragrances that were released when I was growing up are now considered “classics.”

This was a blind buy - bought based on another blind buy from a new soap maker - described (at least on the picture on the label) as a barbershop scent. This did not disappoint - it is a wonderful fragrance IMO in the same genre of Drakkar Noir and Calvin Klein Eternity for Him. It is it’s own scent - it doesn’t mimic them - but it is definitely reminiscent of the 80’s (when I would bathe myself in the afore mentioned Drakkar, Hugo Boss, and Polo Green.

Definitely worth the $15- and powerful. You often hear or read that older fragrances get reformulated and they are weaker from their vintage counterparts. not the case here, I sprayed 1 spray on my hand when I unboxed and it was strong. I’m not sure this would be a good pick during the summer daytime, but would be good In the evening all year round.
