The Haul: February 2017

Congratulations

First impression write-up over here

 

My wife and I had a six hour drive today to visit family. Fortunately we entered the drive in a map app and found out that the highway we use is closed due to flooding. We chose another route and set off. My wife pointed out an antiques shop and we pulled over. I found this 8/8 beauty in the front display case and negotiated a very fair price.

A little research tells me that this address was used from 1865-76
While I was making the deal on this razor, my wife was cruising the store. She is getting good at spotting shaving gear and took me over to this one. The razor was closed and the scales have some issues, so she thought it might be rough. We had them pull it out of the case and look what she found, a 13/16 Wade and Butcher. I was able to get this one for a great price as well.

I love it when my wife helps with the hunt. She is my good luck charm

 

Totally gorgeous! Many congratulations.

 

Thank you all so very much!

To the wise guys who think Williams stinks...

...I dang near passed out when I opened the box.

 

What a cool find!

 

Another black handle superspeed. This one's different than the rest I have. Knurled handle and stamping on the bottom is different.

Dang.....the pride of Burbank strikes again

 

There is a store here that carries Ogallala. I ran to the store to restock and saw an estate sale on the way. I picked up two unopened Skin Bracer bottles for a buck at the estate sale. I don't have any experience with this stuff, but for a buck it's worth a try.
My wife picked the Ogallala scent this time

 

I received a kamisori via trade. I have searched for threads on how to use it, but find too much traffic. Is there a main thread that someone can point me to, please.

 

Beautiful razor

 

That is a beautiful Kamisori. I shave with both sides when I use mine. While not traditional, it works fine.
Here is some good info.

Have fun!

 

Ahh, Mantic - my original enabler. For some reason it did not occur to me that I should seek him out again. Thank You!

 

Skin Bracer is nice, or not. I either like it, or it reminds me of gym class in jr high. I guess my nose changes moods. When I like it, it's nice. Are those glass bottles?

 

I think thats an 88 super speed. Last year of US production (I believe)
Mine shaves nicely.

 

He has enabled many, including me

 

If I don't like it, I can cover up with the Veg
Yes, they are glass.
