Mail call... was a bit nervous as this was the first one he's turned of this blank (tinkerbell). Love the way it turned out. Not going to try to do it justice in this light, so will upload more photos in daylight when I get a chance.

That looks like a 25/57mm Tuxedo Synth. knot

It's one of the batch 3 fan blackwolf knots. Comes out of the socket at around 26.5mm with loft at 54mm. Very nice on the face for a test run just before.

Did a little shopping today - thanks for the tip @alfredus
No prizes for guessing where I am

 

[TomG]

With the accumulation of all this shaving gear on my travels, thought I'd do a luggage upgrade

 

[Pbgoose]

The SS General arrived!

(Breathe. Breathe)

 

[lerenau]

Oh, according to the AusPost app, I have a package from the US passing through Granville (2 days ago).

So, it's probably not far now.

Mine said Sydney yesterday. I saw no mention of Granville or Chullora. You got Granville...so a couple of days there then Chullora...... so probably not far now. Have you checked your letter box today?

If it's any consolation you'll probably get to shave with yours first. In fact I won't get to shave with mine at all as I gave it away. I gave it to my son. I don't think he's interested in doing SOTDs so that might be the last you see of that one.

Mail Call:- Today I've received my Colonial Razors - The General Stainless Steel

 

[SpeedyPC]

I've forgot to say above the spare Colonial stainless steel handle is for the General aluminium head

PS. I'm going to get another Colonial General stainless steel razor very soon for safe keeping

 

[tullfan]

Speedy,you could swap the handles when needed,also the ss should never need replacing.
You will probably forget you have it.
Just a thought.

I never forget all my razors and all my safe keeping razors will be pass on to 8 cousin in my family when the time comes, and when I get too old to shave either sell them or give them all to my cousin.

 

[beerhog]

got home from work tonight to see my general had arrived. i will give it a go i the morning if i can resist the temptation to shave with it tonight.

 

[lerenau]

On the way home, I got a notification from AusPost that my package had arrived.
My SS General has been cleaned, loaded and is ready for tomorrow morning's shave.

The General has landed!

I've got 2 days growth waiting to test it out on tonight. It is a heavy beast isn't it @SpeedyPC , I'll just stick with the Proline blade I reckon.
