Big Tease! We love surprises, as long as we are rewarded with pictures! Big Grin

There will definitely be pictures.

I feel your pain as I have something I sent to someone stuck in Detroit which is normal lately. I have a razor coming from Hungary that has been sitting in NY Customs since November 2nd with no update.........Now THAT is delayed !  Big Grin

I got my package today Tuesday (well its 2:48 AM Wednesday so actually yesterday) after I had to shave for helping a friend out at his restaurant. So I will shave with it later today Wednesday. Hope I can actually get some sleep between now and then.

I had a marvelous Williams Wednesday shave today complete with Aqua Velva after shave. However the real star of the show was the new to me 1887 Kampfe Brothers Star razor. This was my first shave with a wedge blade safety razor. Overall it was an excellent shave. Even though the seller did a great job honing the blades before sending the razor out, I could work on my stopping a bit to get the most out of them. The Williams lathered extremely easily with the Zenith Boar and the Aqua Velva was a fantastic finishing touch.

Just a quick and gentle clean-up this morning. Didn't have time to play much with the photography today either.
