I\u2019m your host Joe Borrelli and today is August 19th, 2024. ______________________________________________________________________________   Today on the Show:     Rare Gillette in Big Auction  One Stone Honing the trusty Dovo  Brand New release from Barrister and Mann for Fall 2024! Fall Season is Coming 10\/28\/24 Plant Based Synthetic Brush    ______________________________________________________________________________ Rare Gillete Sold at Auction    Rarer than the toggle or bottom dial, The 1940\u2019s Gillette Techmatic has only a few examples known today.  This injector style razor (not to be confused with the Techmatic of the 1960\u2019s) was a concept that never took off with Gillette. Today, it\u2019s considered to be one of the most valuable Gillette razors available.  ______________________________________________________________________________One Stone Honing Dovo Over the past week, I had to hone my Dovo daily driver. I performed the one-stone honing process with a Belgium Coticule. The results were great!     The process is simple, blunt the blade on a glass cup, then create a slurry on the coticule until it\u2019s thick then progress through the honing process until the razor is sharp, then strop.    It was fun, but I recommend setting the initial bevel (cutting edge) on a synthetic stone then moving to the coticule. This may sound a little confusing, so I\u2019ll explain!  ______________________________________________________________________________ Season of the Witch by Barrister and Mann       A brand new fall release from Barrister and Mann!  Pre-orders were last week but the product will be available to the public in a few weeks!  ______________________________________________________________________________   Fall Seasonal Special is Coming!!!   It\u2019s that time again!  The Annual Fall Seasonal Special is coming!   For those of you new to the podcast, this is the biggest show of the year.  I discuss all of the Fall Season releases from all the vendors\/artisans in the industry.    This year I have a special section of the cast that will feature past Fall Items that made a true impact.
