Came over from TOST2 .....better late than never .  Some guys on here already know me from another site and for those that dont my name is Patrick... formerly 9nein9 on the TOST2 site. Im a fanatic for making my own razors from whatever I find laying around and I also make bruch handles when time pernits . I'm from Canada eh .

I posted awhile back about a couple of smaller vintage Williams shave sticks I had picked up. They are in glass tubes and look to be in pretty good shape. I decided that i wanted to use one. The paper wrapper in them is really not in that good of shape to remove. I pretty much had to scrape it off. It looks like to me that the oils from the stick have penetrated it over the years. I got one of them more or less cleaned up and will be using it for Williams Wednesday this week,. As I already have a large stick these will be going into give aways probably.

           

Matt Hilton passed away and most of us knew him as @120inna55 a Gentlemen and in my thoughts the best photographer of SOTD pics that I'd seen in all the years of this hobby. May his family find peace and comfort at this difficult time.......

I got a box in today from a shave friend. I did not ask about a shoutout so not going to say who yet. One of the items was this Synthetic Pearl brush.  I will be trying it out soon. 

I also got a tub of soap. It smells like a tootsie roll. Loving it

Weck Med Prep came in today. Been wanting to get another one of these RARE Birds after letting one go some time back. Never thought it would happen again but apparently timing is everything. 3rd pic for size comparison to an Injector. Shave hopefully in the morning.
   
   
   

Thanks to bwmacho on youtube I am now a owner of a OneBlade Core. It is a interesting looking new fangled thingie with a pivot head. I see no need for the pivot and tend to have issues with people that feel you need it to get a good shave. That being said it did a good job with a Feather SE blade. I really have no complaints about it.

Please help.

   

Would be nice to have a thread that had the links to the forums leading up to this one so when referenced they are easily accessed by all including members that weren't there then and didn't know about them. Didn't know if that's possible. I know I read the are read only but I've been told to go look at things on them but have no idea what they were called and haven't had a lot of success trying to google more the The Original Safety Razor one........

Is this needed here?
