The Haul: February 2018

Ah, so you are that mythical example of how moving from a cartridge razor saves you money over time. Glad to see your post as I had yet to find a single person here who has saved money due to RAD..

 

I have, actually. But, I am the pedantic and obsessed technique guy....

 

Darwin's are wicked cool. Shave great too if you can get a good edge on the blade!

 

I like my Rolls, the true straight on a stick!

 

Receive these last night. All cleaned up well. I’m diggin the English tech. It has some weight to it. I have the aluminum handle version and like this one a lot better

OK, dumb question, since they are do similar, why is a Rolls a true straight on a stick and a Darwin isn't?

 

Because you can actually _get_ Rolls Razors without involving a loan shark?

 

Now thats a nice haul!

 

True, I haven't paid more that $20 for a modern Rolls and I did hit $40 on the Darwin. Modern Rolls being the post 1929, not the smaller 1922 version.

 

40 on the Darwin? I'm freaking amazed. I hadn't seen one for less than $100, and a few ten times that.

 

Nice score!

Ok, you got me, a little more than $40.

 

Received a new to me Schick B2 repeater. I will need to clean it up this weekend and give it a spin. It looks to be in great condition and should really shine. I just like the style and loading mechanism of this deco design. It looks like it may be an aggressive shave like my E2 and has some heft to it.

 

Great score, Steve!

Wow, I have never seen a COA for a razor handle or any other razor part. Makes me wish that the Schick company had come up with one..

 

The Darwin has a guard and is adjustable.

 

Very nice Steve! I don't find the B's to be overly aggressive at all. They are really smooth shavers!
