The polished blackbird looks gorgeous. Please let us know how it shaves

Thank you. It's actually 'machine' finished though.
I thought it best to point it out just in case anyone waiting on the polished.
I think Shane won't be sending any out until the New Year.

Even though I don't think one can really have too many old brass Zippo lighters the third one that arrived this week completes my 'collection'

A sort of recent acquisition:
I've had the 404 for sometime but while I can understand why it gets recommended frequently it's not for me. I've had the 24mm Tuxedo knot since about September. Removing the knot proved challenging - steaming for 60 minutes had zero affect so it was drilled out and then just last week I had someone at work put it in a lathe and turn the opening to 26mm. I've hand-sanded it to a gentle chamfer so it's now 27mm. The knot is set to 54mm. I've only used it once but I'm very pleased with it. It'll become my travel brush I think.

Nice looking brush. That knot is one of my favorites.

This one arrived today. It's an NOS beauty. I'm thrilled.

Just in time for Christmas, I received two bricks of original Figaro P.160 shaving soap. No doubt they've dried out some over the years, but each still weighs 650g, so it's close to 3 lbs. of soap.

These were a gift from my wife's parents. I can't wait to try them in the morning.

My wife gave me some tools so I can start pinning razors.

Merry Christmas!
