Gee, took a while to get this thread going - what are there MODS doing?

What are the MODS doing?

Well at least this moderator is adding something to this thread - what have you been doing folks? Catch up!

It seems that I may have brought some shaving kits back from the UK after all -

Two bottles of Phoenix & Beau Spitfire splash.

Released just after I was last in the UK the wonderful @Kerry@Phoenix&Beau arranged delivery to my London hotel address this trip Much appreciated and I cannot wait till some cooler weather comes

Been trawling through ebay lately, mainly been looking for restoration pieces without too much spine wear, but the price of a semi-decent vintage razor is getting out of control. $4-700aud for a bigger, near wedge, for barbers use razor? Fook me

Seeing sellers list rusty and chipped razors for a premium price or a description which states "in good condition", bloody dreamers

Anyway, got a couple W&B framebacks on the way. Hooray for stupidly expensive postage fees, which seem to vary. $30-110aud for a single razor. Profiteering at best

Just dropped so had to get some as my skin really seeks some love

This amazing work of art from @Mitcon



The pictures for the auction did no justice to what turned up in the mail.
This is stunning

Stayed up to win another auction. A 'WR' stamped W&B. Stampings would date it 1830-1837. Paid a bit more than I thought but given the ever rising prices and finite supply of razors in good condition, had to snap it up

Now time to sleep for 5 hours before doing it again for a John Marsh 8/8 VR stamp

Should go back to something like this. Would save me getting up as I did just before only to lose both auctions, a John Marsh 8/8 near wedge and a W&B stub tail, $305aud and $264aud respectively

Sweet, won a W&B FBU 8/8. That's me done for a while regarding razors

Getting excited to shave off my beard this Friday! I miss having a clean shaven face

Mail called today

Two small packages delivered today. I look forward to continuing my run with synth brushes with this EVO, and I look forward to having my first ever shave with an injector in a few days when blades arrive. I think the type-I2 doesn't look too bad for being ~65 yrs old.

100 more of these badboys!
At least if I run out of toilet paper I can survive with a clean shave.
