Thanks brother! I have the OM, but this one is a shorter scale and much better for Blues.

My custom jade handle just arrived yesterday after a wonderful trip up and down the east coast. The post office did a great job. It's modeled after a Simpson's Rover and has a 30mm ACE Two Band Finest in there for now. I will eventually end up putting a ShaveMac or Romera in it.

Sweetwater? I do love the 000-28, just a blast to play and sounds fantastic too. Enjoy!

I just got a small covered Wedgwood china bowl, mainly just for sentimental reasons.  In the days just before WWII, the two British Wedgwood brothers were said to have flipped a coin, the winner taking over control of the china factory and the loser heading to America, where he became one of my dad's roommates at Harvard.  Years later he was on the medical school faculty at the University of Washington when I began my premed studies, and I worked part-time in his immunology lab, where he became one of my mentors, influencing my eventual specialization in clinical immunology.  And an added bonus is that the bowl is the perfect size for a regular puck of shaving soap.

That is quite an amazing story, John — thanks for sharing. It’s fascinating to see how so many seemingly distant matters can be connected to each other.

Great post John. Thanks for sharing. Lovely bowl BTW.

Today I got a bronze UFO razor handle

And a bottle of vintage Cussons aftershave

And a mug puck of vintage tallow-first Williams shaving soap. Since I have an even older Williams soap in a bowl coming, this one is going into the reserves for now.
