The Haul: February 2018

Scored!

 

I found this going through boxes. It belonged to my dad. The Avon "Sure Catch" with Avon Spicy After Shave. Smells like the 70's.

 

This came in today, a generous gift from @PLAla . Now I have to figure out how to use it???

 

Wow that's cool!

 

According to some forums, you use it to clean your toilet.

 

Don't be so negative dude....

 

I didn't say _I_ felt that way. It's my mainstay. I wash my face with it *runs*

 

Can't wait to hear your opinion of it.

 

Great find. I haven't seen that one before. Here is a thread to post it on.

You have to let us know how that shaves. Wicked razor.

I have to successfully hone a blade first. Hopefully by this weekend, if not tomorrow.

 

A Russian Straight Razor that just arrived. Unknown manufacturer.

Before Cleanup:


After a little rust knocked off.

 

A partial bottle of TOBS Eton College EDC
But man the box sure smells nice!

 

What? Used or leaked while in transit?

 

By the smell, I’m sure it leaked. I could smell it before I opened the box. We’ll now see how the vendor responds. This juice smells awesome though!

 

Found another of my dad's shaving items. I don't know much about OS mugs, but judging by the imperfections and the crackling, this is an early one.

 

Looks like Hull Pottery, rather than the later glass mugs. Best yet - heirloom.

 

That is one of my favorite TOBS creams. I don’t have the AS though. I hope the vendor has good customer service. Let us know how that goes.

 

By the shape of the "O" and "S", I'm going to say late '40's to early '50's. The "O" and "S" changed style afterwards:

 

I will second Hull Pottery, the bottom will be concave verses Flat which will be milk glass. A beautiful heirloom.
