You first...

Don’t forget the matching razor.Ooohhh! there's a thought: matching brush and bowl for every soap
Actually, we could have done that when @Irish (Forgotten Art) still had his lathe up and running. (Matching bowl and brush.) Maybe @TroyTools might be interested enough to take that up...Ooohhh! there's a thought: matching brush and bowl for every soap
We don't see lavender very often in your lineup of software. What do you think of Mike's? The scent, that is...

Incidentally, and apropos of nothing, I notice he seems to have recently moved from Ann Arbor to Portland OR...
What's the best vintage head/modern handle combo in your opinion?
I swap handles a bit but not for modern versions.

I can make anything!
(at least, I like to think so. That's what I tell myself anyway)
My latest bowl this week (scrap-wood challenge) below
More Jarrah. Lid came from a different piece of wood, hence the scrap-wood challenge.
Its not attached, so doesn't matter it's slightly darker.
(sure beats burning it as firewood)
Resin sure is easier to turn than this hard wood.
Nice. What I love about jarrah is the variety of colours you get. It always strikes me as criminal to see so much of it treated as rubbish in WA for fence posts or studs and bearers in construction, when fast-growing radiata would work just as well. I often heard it said that jarrah is better at resisting white-ant, but the only parts of my 120-year-old cottage I had in Perth that had any trouble with the beasties were the bits built in jarrah. The rest was Baltic pine, and no problems.I can make anything!

No idea - this is my only 'Frankenrazor' !
The vintage NEW head is a great head and this handle has good heft and balance. Despite the different threads (thanks for the reminder @Holiday) it works and keep me happy!
