What’s new to you?

Bill in Oneida gave me a tuck of some he picked up. Never seen these before but will give it a go tomorrow. Anyone seen before? Warnings for me?

Oh that means your supposed to shave fast with it, you’ll be carried to good shaves as fast as the Concord plane carries passengers to their destination.

Made by Derby. Concord also makes a 3 piece razor and a TTO all pretty cheap.
 
I got this pretty cool razor from Aaron. It’s a Personna Double II. I’m a fan of all things Personna, so this is pretty neat. It’s a cross between a cart and a DE. The DE head is disposable and just slides on/off the handle. Each side has 2 blades, so like the Trac II carts, sort of. Will be interesting to see how it shaves.

Funky! It’s an evolutionary Lucy of the shave world!
 
Once I saw the razor, I realized I have a few NOS packs of the blades. Came in a lot I bought years ago. Never had the handle so I never tried them out.
 
I did a trade on BST for a couple of soaps & the person threw in a 20mm synthetic brush.

Mikes Orange/Cedarwood/Black Pepper along with Mystic Water Vetiver & Oakmoss. The brush is a Fine 20mm angel hair synthetic.

 
Well I got 2 soaps from Mystic Waters in and the scents are AWESOME. Also placed a $4.99 bid on these 2 badger brushes with no makers mark in China cause I thought the handle on 1 was cool. Expected to be outbid by 50 cents but no one else bid on them. When they came in I was surprised that they appear decent quality and are Frank Shaving Brushes. Time will tell if they are keepers or good handles to use.

 
Report on soaps ASAP please
The Leather and Smoke smells like Smoke and Leather. The Raspberry Lemon smells like Lemon and Raspberry. Now I know why KJ likes these not only for performance but because they smell like what they call them. Raspberry Lemon is up tomorrow.
