What’s new to you?

Oh yeah and I got a Graham Field blade Chad was *Cough* Kind enough *Cough* to include, that I will do a video with if KJ send one to Don and he does a video of it too. Well Don ??

Well since according to many around here that I don't do videos anymore...probably not! Just kidding. But really...with the reputation of Graham Field blades...um...sure....yeah...I'll stick one of those in a shavette!
 
I've been busy with family staying the last few days, so I haven't been able to post some new arrivals...

First, that Dave in KY returned my Rx (in better condition than it left me, I must say--shiny!). He included a bunch of samples--what a swell guy! Very excited to try them all, but especially the Storybook Soapworks. I think Hook is on deck for tonight. It's a very unique scent. Can't tell if I like it or hate it.


Second, I had mentioned in another thread that I wanted to try MdC. Our friendly neighborhood Spider(man) obliged, and threw in some CBL too! These will be tested soon. Thanks KJ!

Finally, I ordered this awhile ago and it finally showed up:


First injector--I think it's a Type E3, but definitely a novice when it comes to these things. I gave her a little soak, scrub, and Barbicide rinse and she's looking pretty good. I'll plan to give her a try sometime later this week.
 
I hope my Ballenclaugh is delivered today! But I have a feeling the shipment is currently MIA. Tracking number they provided hasn't updated since the 21st, and it isn't coming from the West Coast.
 
Had a nice mail call today. Got my blades I won in a pif from Aaron, thank you Aaron! Received a Stirling 26mm 2 band badger, & found a nice red tip at a flea market.



Right after washing, initial bloom:
