The Haul

Never used a Rockwell, but I find it’s smoother and more efficient than razors I’ve got or sold off since getting the Carbon Graphite CX;
Blackland OC
Timeless 0.95 SB
The Guido OC
Fatboy on 8
Aylsworth Apex SB
Again this is my findings on my skin, as usual YMMV, but hope of some help
Cheers

Wow, the Carbon beat out a lot of good razors you have had! Can’t wait now!
 
I picked up some vintage brass spoons and butter spreaders to use as soap scoops.

A quick polish with my Cape Cod cloth on a couple of them to remove the patina.

Those will be made in Thailand and definitely will be Bronze not brass. I have a full cutlery set and some pocket knives. I previously had 2 cool bar additions of a wiggly knife (sorry don't know the correct name) and an ice chopper mini axe head both with Hanuman head bottle opener ends.

Thanks for the info!

I'm very excited to have been able to get a Copper Guido by Alpha Shave Works after reading the review by @Hosay18. I tell ya, his reviews can be a dangerous read. But I'm sure glad I keep reading them, this razor is absolutely beautiful.
Enjoy the razor. I heard that Steve over at Alpha is one of the best guys you could ever deal with. Handsome, clever and he designs great razors.

I haven't met him in person, so I can't confirm if he is handsome or not, but the rest I can definitely confirm is true.
 
Just arrived and hand washed and lathered for tomorrow’s shave. A lovely Padauk handle “Eagle” with 25mm STD X density knot by Rudy Vey, to match my AD LE Fiery Mane. I now see why Rudy is held in high esteem by Forum members 👍

Mail call:- Highlander Tabac 24/52mm G5C this is the heaviest brush I've ever felt in my bloody hand, believe me, the weight felt bloody RIPPER!!

Looking forward to a FULL Tabac shaves, I'm looking forward smelling like an old swaggy grandma handbag.
