When I need to move it, I definitely use two hands.

You've hit the mother lode of Irisch Moos!
I've been meaning to ask if anyone here uses talcum powder any more, it seems there's at least one of us.

Not a regular user, but occasionally use it; have previously used staples like Cussons Imperial Leather or Felce Azzurra.
But I just couldn't turn down the opportunity to snap up a couple of tins of the legendary and now sadly discontinued Penhaligon's English Fern.

I've often looked at the Moos, where again I like most of the individual scents, but patchouli is a total show-stopper.

Replacing floor tiles is not the cheapest as wellHeh, don't drop that mortar in the washbasin, or you'll have a lot of new plumbing to do...

Really nice job.Grabbed another piece of railway anvil for cold forging lead wedges.
I used up the last of my monza red mystery paint.

Cheers. The second one was easier since I didn't bother to polish the sides or bottom. Also a 1 shot paint like Hammerite would have helped. As I was using up old paint it meant a couple of coats of primer, followed by 2 coats of the splotchy monza and a couple of coats of marine varnish.

A Fontenille (1850-1970) manufactured in Thiers, France. My goal this week is to have it cleaned up and shave ready for "Frameback Friday". The horn scales are quite brittle and will need to be replaced at a later date.

A beautiful blue abalone 5/8" 3/4 hollow ground Spanish tip from Steve at the Proserpine Razor Co. He's recently moved from QLD to his hometown in Cobar NSW. I haven't tried it yet but man it's nice. Thanks Steve!

Two Gold Dollars 1 honed by Richard and one to hone myself - donated by Mark. Looking forward to trying a nice sharp razor and learning to hone properly. Thank you!

Another lesser known SR for my collection. J. Coudert was a high-end store with two locations in Paris, c. 1900. Their razors were sourced from Thiers-Issard, Le Grelot and Fontenille. This is a 6/8 Half Hollow.
