What’s new to you?

Monday’s mail call is a doozy. With the winnings from my latest trip to the casino; I was able to buy a 1949-50 Gillette Executive. The case is made from real ostrich leather, comes with a built in mirror. The razor is completely plated in rhodium. This razor is extremely hard to get a hold of.

Also landed today, Edwin Jagger 3ONE6. It has the aluminum handle but I got it at such a sweet price I may spring for a stainless steel handle for it.

Those brushes are sweet my friend! And of course you can’t go wrong with Tabac! That razor with an aluminum handle must be super light! I remember when it first came out and with the SS handle it was 60 grams - fairly light for a stainless. Looks like you had a good acquisition day!

I also got two pounds of coffee from Dean's Beans, my favorite roaster! :coffee::cool:

Yeah the razor's lighter than I typically prefer.. I wonder if a King handle from StandoPolska would fit?

Navy guys and their coffee! I think the handle would go quite nicely with your new razor acquisition! And you can’t beat the price - CNC’d Stainless Steel for that handle below $30. Or you can come to MD and steal mine 😂

KJ @Spider consensus seems to be that if you like some popular frag houses and department stores on Facebook, the ads for free samples have the best chance of popping up for you.
Yeah, I tried that. Got a couple of ads, and I signed up. A few weeks later I got emails from both saying my address was unresolvable and the promotion had ended. Sounded fishy.
