Razor: Razorock Lupo.95
Brush: Trotter Handcrafts - Black Locus Barrel
Soap: WK - King of Oud
Aftershave: Ethos - Melange D’Agrumes
Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum

Wow - the Bic blade kinda rocked my socks off. In a world of mediocre, modern blades, these were awesome. Thank you Mr Doug for sharing them with me. I will be ordering a plethora of them.

And if you don’t love the Three Amigos, we can’t be friends.

Great photo Paul. OTOH, what is that Rolling Stone song, you know, the one that goes "He can't be a man 'cause he doesn't shave with the same brand of blades as me?" Or something like that.

Handles that don’t turn out get to become “stands”

... and today's Handcraft is a light blue sea glass handle... although, I'm tempted to call it "North East Ice" since its already headed to its new home back east!

Razor: Yates (Hybrid plate)
Brush: Trotter Handcrafts - “Astrophile” w/ Elite Manchurian White Knot
Soap: B&M - Eigengrau
Aftershave: Chatillon - Taum Sauk

I’ve had this 28mm Elite knot sitting on my bench forever. I finally got around to making a handle that would accommodate it this morning.

The color pour is pretty wild on this handle. Purple in some light situations and blue in others. Sometimes a neat mix of both!

So I've read a little about sea glass and beach glass and the differences. Where do you find pieces of sea glass large enough for brush handle and what were they originally if you had to guess ? Obviously not a pop bottle or the like. Just curious your thoughts while i mull why I would need yet another brush handle........
