Mail Call:- Today from The Stray Whisker received

1 The "Howitzer" 303 Stainless Steel Safety Razor Handle for me - And I really love this handle already attached to my Fatip head ready for shaving tomorrow
100 Ladas Super Stainless for me and @alfredus how many shaves do you normally get from this blade
100 Voskhod for a friend of mind learning into wet shaving
1 The "Long Tack Sam" 303 Stainless Steel Safety Razor Handle for a friend of mind learning into wet shaving

@SpeedyPC which Fatip do you have i have been trying to find a handle for mine that fits, mine is the Nickel Grande.

 

[SpeedyPC]

@cranky I have both the Fatip Nickel Grande and Piccolo the handle does attached the "Howitzer" 303 Stainless Steel Safety Razor Handle.

And when I try the The "Long Tack Sam" 303 Stainless Steel Safety Razor Handle it doesn't screw on properly because the thread hole is a little too wide is about 1.0mm wider than the "Howitzer".

FYI:- http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...11392bf84c0bb17dd97e171&p=7081337#post7081337

The handles I have are below:- (keep in mind some handles do and don't fit on a Fatip depends on the thread diameter size because the Fatip or handles thread vary during production)

MR5 Handle (doesn't fit for Fatip Grande & Piccolo),

iKon OSS Handle (does fit for Fatip Grande & Piccolo),
iKon Bulldog Handle (does fit for Fatip Grande & Piccolo),
iKon Bamboo Handle (does fit for Fatip Grande & Piccolo),

TSW Howitzer Handle (does fit for Fatip Grande & Piccolo),
TSW Long Tack Sam Handle (doesn't fit for Fatip Grande & Piccolo),

Weber Razor Classic Handle (does fit for Fatip Grande & Piccolo),
Weber Razor Wave Handle (doesn't fit for Fatip Grande & Piccolo),
Weber Razor Bulldog Handle (doesn't fit for Fatip Grande & Piccolo),

Thanks @SpeedyPC so to sum up the "Howitzer" 303 Stainless Steel handle does fit the Fatip nickel grande, but not the "Long Tack Sam" 303 Stainless Steel handle i thought the threads on the TSW website are all the same pitch thread going by what Razor head there supposed to fit.

@cranky keep in mind some handles do and don't fit on a Fatip depends on the thread diameter size because the Fatip or handles thread vary during production they are never the same across the board.

yeah baby looking forward to a great test spin tomorrow.

Sh#t I don't know what to say, as I said before they're vary from production without a proper quality control I feel really sad for you @cranky

Contact TSW and see what they can do to help you either replace the handle or used a plumping white thread tape to you're Fatip thread trick, I guess I'm lucky with my "Howitzer" Handle.

Mail call from Bayrum.com.au.

Love this stuff!

100 of my favourite. I kind of feel like hanging the cool display pack in my bathroom, but not enough to go drilling any holes in the wall or anything....

That's what those "command hooks" are for! (stick on)

A week away + an earlier flight home = a trip to the post office before it shuts and ...



It follows on from a couple of trades with @stillshunter recently -



SH v2 Tallow Lilth and Sudsy Soap Company Citrus and Bay in the trade.

The remaining 270 Scottish Perma Sharps - cause you can NEVER have too many baldes

A missing link in my Krumholz reading collection, worth a glance or two

Some wonderful Stirling samples in a pass around from @todras - many thanks!

From the wonderful Con (@shavetheman ) & Kim from The Stray Whisker, beautifully packed as usual -

Pre/Post Shave Oil in Citrus and Bay by the Sudsy Soap Company - will use as a post shave oil with their soap to see how this works

Local Gent Tobacco Lounge - to see how good this is (and I'm on a tobacco thing at present) and have some for the PCTB4

A Bren for me and one for @stillshunter - and they look WONDERFUL!

A B&M Cologne Russe set - gifted through Con for the PCTB4 by a wonderful, generous member here! Not sure if I can name you but THANKS

Sabbatical? Did somebody say sabbatical? ...

Enjoy the Perma Sharps. I think I'm on shave number 7 with one at the moment. Still going strong.

Mail call!
These guys finally arrived. They look like they are on a totally different level to any (admittedly not that many) soaps that I have used before.
Gonna lather great with my boar brush that is breaking in nicely. Happy days!

Just got these pics of my new brush. It's going to be a long couple of weeks till I get this from Peter.

Stunning @Psmith - congratulations

What knot did you choose?

Envy White 26mm. The size limited the choice of handle but I can live with that.

That is an exceptionally beautiful brush, I particularly like the colour of the handle. It speaks to class and understatement.
