Wanted to let you know I got the 45-120 razor in the mail today. That thing is a work of art. Ive already used it. It was my first time using a safety razor and Im already hooked. To me the 45-120 case is the perfect size and the weight you added makes it perfect. The smoothest shave, other than a real Barber shave, I have ever had. I cant wait to order a brush to go along with it.

Thanks Brian! I'm glad you like it. I tried to get just a perfect balance between the weight of the handle and the razor head. What blade did you use? Was it the Wilkinson that I included?
I'll be posting pictures of my prototype badger brush a little later today if I can break away from the workbench.
Looking forward to what you come up with. I'm sure it will be awesome. Love my bullet pens!
Thanks very much Steve and glad you like your pens!
If you hit the show this weekend, be sure to stop by and say hi.
Ps. I have plans soon to get some .357 Sig dies and I already have some brass so I'll be able to hook you up with a nice keyring too.
I'm droppin hints about stocking stuffers already. Hopefully I get an early one! Good luck branching out. All the options seemed like good ones.
Yes I used the Wilkinson. I know you said the Marlin was collectible so I thought Id just put it up and consider it the start of my shaving collection. Once again thanks for the fast turn around time. Im looking forward to seeing what your brushes look like.
I didn't have a chance to take and load a pic of the brush last night. It's been crazy busy getting ready for Wanenmacher's and I'm only having a chance to get on here while I eat or take computer breaks to print things.
It does look like I might change the design just slightly to accomodate another project I'm working on as well so probably won't have pics until after the gun show so I can use the new design. In fact I should have it available for sale within a week or so if all goes well.
Ya the Marlin blade is from the late early 50's. I bet it would still work fine, but I wouldn't want to use it, the packaging is so cool with the rifle on it. They used to use "As good as the gun" as one of their taglines for the blades. Marlin actually produced both razor blades and shaving cream back then. Winchester even made straight razors that are very collectible.

All to cool. Great concept and follow through. I don't have any of your items yet, but in the not to far future I plan on it.
glad to see things are working out for a fellow OSA member..
