Its out there but goes quick. I just missed this and it was only up for 5 hours or so.That would work.Likewise, if I were to come across a NOS puck of Yardley lavender, which used to be available everywhere, I would be a happy little vegemite.

Yeah, I saw something like that when I was idly looking around a few weeks ago. They were asking $270.Its out there but goes quick. I just missed this and it was only up for 5 hours or so.
Out of my league, I can't justify paying that. Especially since all the scent will most likely all be gone by now. However, next January I will stock up on a few more pucks of C&S O&C if it's still available by then.

Fatboy arrived today. In better condition than I was expecting, cleaned up pretty well.
Not NOS or mint, but definitely usable, tomorrow.
The yellow appearance is the lighting, not the brass (or gold). I checked with a loupe like his --->
4th quarter 1960 F 4 date code, crimped end cap in base of handle. Lucky it doesn't need disassembly.
Hopefully the detergent concentrate / bi-carb bath scrub and ultrasonic baths got all the cootees and soap scum out from inside the handle.
Pretty happy to add to this to my growing razor collection.
Nice! I always wanted to pick up a fatboy but don't have a knack for choosing a good one or finding one reasonably priced either.
I'd probably give it a shot with some metal polish and then a bath again. Looks like a nice razor though.
I hope it brings you many a great shaves.

congrats @rhodes96 you were too quick off the mark for me, otherwise I would have also snapped this up, thus completing a Blackbird trifecta (steel, brass & titanium). First dibs if you ever want to pass it on.

Soon ill have a nice charcoal razor to go with it too if auspost ever does their job hey
You're very welcome @MrPeanut .
So glad you like them. It was an honor to be your choice of maker to bring your grandfather's heirlooms out of a lonely dark drawer and into your daily life in brushes you'll use regularly.The flooded clear resin bottoms protecting the coin and emblem turned out beautiful. They will last more than a lifetime now.
Enjoy the shaves.
And.......After my neighbour saw your brushes, I'm now doing another heirloom badge from 1914 from his grandfather in a bespoke badger brush in the "Rainbow Falls" resin blank.
Pics of that one very soon.

A couple of lovely brushes there, @MrPeanut, nice score. And great work as always @TroyTools. BTW, does anyone else notice a certain resemblance in the resin of the mixed metallic to the well-known Platypus brush? Or is that a trick of the light?
With retail now open in Victoria popped down to muji to grab something for wifey and got these drawers for my side of the bathroom cabinet to store my soaps. I kinda said to myself I can only get as many soaps as it fits…
…but it is stackable so I can always get more drawers
Btw that syringe is for transferring serums and creams. Nothing dodgy lol.
