This is a thread to share those new purchases you're excited to show off, the shave-related projects you've been working on, or just some neat thing from your shave den.

I am selling some interesting straight razors over on Reddit as that's where the audience is but I really appreciate the community here and the idea of federation. So I'd totally give you guys a 5% discount (and another 5% if I recognise you and we work out a trade or some way you can pay me without my covering paypal fees). They're also just a neat and varied bunch of razors that I think are also worth a bit of show-and-tell (won't be too sad if I wind up hanging onto them for a while yet).

(I first sought approval for this unusual use of the thread.)
