What’s new to you?

Found this neat razor on Ali Express.
Colorlamb Forrester Series Portable Safety razor. Folds up like a pocket knife. Pretty sturdy build. Shaves well. Uses half DE blades. Blades that came with it work pretty good too.
Had a magnet on the inside of bottom plate come out today while shaving for a Sunday meeting. Looks like probably pressed in, no evidence of glue. Got it back into its hole ok, but comes out stuck to blade and top cap magnet. Gonna get some waterproof epoxy to secure it. Do like this razor's efficiency. About as efficient as a Gem Micromatic.

Dang it! Can't get anything nice for $12 these days!
 
Just in time
Just got word that mine was delivered today. Been 30 minutes away since Monday.

Sadly, It started its journey only about an hour and 15 minutes away. Should have got here in 1-2 days, but instead it's been a week.

At least is went by UPS and it did get delivered today, since there's no USPS movement today.

Hopefully everything survives the sub-freezing temps while it sits on my porch.
 
It is like shaving stuff. The collection keeps growing. I have my eye on both a mandolin and a resonator guitar. LOL. I’m OK as Sharon says as long as she sees me playing those instruments at least once a week per instrument so actually she means seven days a week LOL

This is why I am telling myself over and over things like: "this is not a collection", "one and done", "we only have room in the house for one musical instrument".

If we ever move to a house with more space, maybe I can start collecting guitars and other instruments. However, I really don't have the space for it in our current house.


EDIT:
I also need to learn how to play before I can get any value out of such a collection. That is going to take me some time, so it doesn't make sense to start collecting until I am a proficient guitarist.
