The Haul: September 2017

I had picked up a bottle of Brisk but forgot which store stocked it. Visited three Family Dollar store before I tried a Dollar General. FD has a couple different Barbasol shave creams, but no AS.

 

Nifty retail Blue Blade box (to keep my blades in).

 

So beautiful. One that's still on my list!

 

Found this in a lot recently. It's a stropper for vintage SE blades that I've never seen before. After cleaning it I found it opens to make it easier to load the blades. Very cool.

It looks like it could be used as a faux Kamisori. After seeing the various popsicle stick DE shavers this looks pretty solid. Maybe during this SEptember.



Happy shaving - Karl

 

Thank you sir

 

Oops - I forgot to mention the lot included a pocket sized Carborundum honing stone. Looks like I can both hone and strop old vintage blades with this. At least, you can bet I will try it to see how that works.

Edit: If anyone knows anything about the grit equivalent of these Carborundums, please let me know - this one is a 149 but I haven't been able to come up with anything in my searches.



Happy shaving - Karl

 

Very cool. I look forward to hearing how it shaves.

 

That's the same model I have that I sent to @TheFiveO to hone for me. Rochester is my home town.

 

Very cool. I look forward to hearing how it shaves.

 

That's cool. Wouldn't you like an original Colgate Stick Soap to go in it?

 

Yep........

Well I actually got this 1921 Combination Set last month before I went to be with my dad. I finally got around to capturing before and after pics

Thanks Jorge...there is some plate loss on the razor cap and one slightly bent outer tooth but I didn't pay a lot for it. I am sure she will shave just fine

It is in pretty good condition so I used a slightly damp dryel sheet and a dabbed in a small spot a to see if it would damage it, no damage so I did the rest by just pressing and releasing. I didn't rub at all. It was risky as I could have destroyed it

Well it was worth the effort - looks great. Thanks for the info.

 

Quick question. Do you mean a dryer sheet?

 

Very nice;!
