Waiting On New Injector-type 3D Razor

Roger Quintero has done it again. He has been working on an injector-type 3D printed razor. He has put one in the mail for me. Here it is.


Here is how it is loaded. He used a small stainless steel spring to hold the blade in place. I think it is pretty slick.

Box 64

Today, I made a box for my new Supply razor, The Single Edge SE. It is Box 64. I was down to one brass hinge and one antique hinge. I am waiting on some hinges from China, so in the mean time I put the two mismatched hinges on the box. When the hinges from China arrive I will swap them out.

Supply: The Single Edge SE

My newest razor arrived today. It is The Single Edge SE by Supply. It is the same handle as the Supply V2 razor but it has fins (open comb) plate.


When I first saw this razor, I knew I must have it.


It came with a cassette of 8 Supply Black Label injector blades.


I added the silicone grip to my order. I am looking forward to my first have with this razor in the morning.

Rumor Is...

 The rumor is that Williams Mug Soap is or has been discontinued.  It was rumored a few years back, but that proved false. Recently the company confirmed that they will not be making Williams any longer. So sad...

I found four Williams at our local Ingles today, so I picked up two at $1.28 each. I now have five of the modern Williams and one vintage Williams. Plus, my shave mug has a new puck in it. I will probably never run out of Williams since I only use it once a week. I figure one puck will last about 3 years.

In January of 2017, I got I think five samples from Jeeves of Hudson Street (Conservatory, Cranberry Pomegranate, Velvet Jacket, Turkish Bath, and Private Study).

It is my 44th shave with Jeeves.
