The Haul: June 2016

Take a used DE blade, most of it will scrape right off. I don't think the CLR would hurt the blade, but it would probably destroy the scales.

 

When someone prices stuff within my budget, I have to buy it. Right? $2.50 for the mug and $1 for the Rook, full by the way.. I will admit, I passed up on a lighthouse for $4 though...maybe I'll go back tomorrow when I talk myself back into it and am bored again.

 

Wickham's upcoming 1912 line.
Cashmere and Russian Leather.
Amazing scents and even better performance this morning. Top, top soap!
I believe they will be available for purchase next week

​

 

Wild Country? Nice classic lavender powder barbershop scent.

 

Spicy in this one.

 

Their website also suggests "coming soon - Citrus Musk".

 

@Number six gave a quick impression of it over here

 

Oh? I assumed they all held what I found in a full vintage bottle. My mistake. Next time I spot the dusty shelf full of Avon bottles I'll be jiggling them looking for more full containers! I guess it makes sense to offer their full line so you'd be tempted to collect the set.

 

Nice find! That looks like it will clean up well.

 

Agree. But it is a national hobby so there is sanity in numbers.

 

A very Wilkinson-day.

a) A NOS Wilkinson Sword Atra-compatible cartridge w/ five carts


and,
b) Eleven vintage Wilkinson Sword Bonded sample razors (each with a cart)
These were used as promotional give-away items during cigarette campaigns - buy a carton of cigarettes and get a free razor.
For $10 for the lot I guess the sub-dollar cost/razor isn't too bad.

 

Nice haul! $10 is not bad for 11 and they are cool razors.

 

These came in today

 

Well, I guess I have to go get some Atra blades now.... I already had a gold GEM but when they are in a box for $1 each, you have to pick it up.

 

Nice

That is cool. I really liked my Atra back in the day. I wish I still had the handle, I'd surely get some blades.

 

Let us know what you think of them after the inaugural shaves. They're both great razors and appear to be in very nice shape!

 

Finally got my hands on a Triad handle custom made to my liking




Fellowship of cold water shavers

 

THAT is SO cool!!!

 

Picked up two 8" no name CI skillets today and an old 12" Wagner. The small ones just needed cleaned; the big one had some light surface rust all over but that came off easy. Dried it on the stove, then hit it with a thin wipe of oil. Let that heat near to smoking for a good while. It's nowhere near perfectly seasoned but I test fried and egg in it with just a tiny spray of oil. That egg slid around easy as you please and never once came close to sticking. Even the Wife was impressed.

Ain't never going back to teflon.
