Re: Acquisitions thread
Since I've been having trouble recently with a bathroom sink drain stopper that allows leakage, I decided to get a double-walled stainless steel bowl to put in the sink for hot water to rinse my razor between passes. I found a 2-quart BonJour bowl for a good price, so I'll give it a try.

John, what a handsome bowl. Looks like the perfect accessory for the discerning gentleman who has everything. Congrats.

Re: Acquisitions thread
Nice bowl John and the double wall should retain heat well. I like your theory of alternative use here.

Some time ago I have at home this stuff, but had not put the pictures.
A gift from across the pond
A gift from a friend, a vintage brush from the GDR. Aluminum.

Re: Acquisitions thread
Friday the 13th was lucky for me. Thanks to the generosity of a good friend, I picked up 3 more Rooney Finests, a 1/1, a 1/2 Ebony, and a 3/1 Ebony.
