The Haul: June 2016

Thanks brother


Fellowship of cold water shavers

 

I just picked up my new Country Club Southern Oud soap and second bottle of Southern Oud AS. I can't wait to try this soap. It is one of the tallow soaps.

 

I finally found a red telescope in the wild! Also a small 2.5oz after shave bottle, mostly full.

 

I received my Defitch DF91 razor and a nice made right brush. The razor is very nice looking, another EJ89 style head on a beautiful handle. Father's Day special. The brush has badger knot that I'm pretty sure is original given how much trouble it is to re knot one of these. I used it once and it has no backbone at all. I'm thinking I will put another knot in it one of these days. It's a pretty one though!

 

Very nice haul! I really like the Schick twin DE blades, not sure if the injector ones are any different but I would assume so. Hopefully they work out well for you.

 

Thanks brother, they are fantastic, pricey but worth it!

 

That's great to hear they are good blades. I will keep them in mind when I decide to give injectors a try.

 

Not shave related but I found a couple things to dress up my kitchen.

 

Found in the wild on my first ever antique shopping trip.




Not pictured s the Burma Shave tin that had the NIB brush and NIB soap. The mug was missing

Beautiful brush handle! Good luck with the reknot.

 

Nice find!!

 

Best 3 hour shopping trip. I spent more on lunch than antiquing

Well done. It's addicting!

 

Picked up these 3 gems at local antique store for $52; shovelhead, what I believe is a Schick Repeating C2 razor and last one was labeled E1 but don't know as I am lacking on injector knowledge. For $52 including tax think I got a pretty good deal this afternoon.

 

It is very addicting and the only defect in the 1920 is a bent tooth. Everyone I have seen on the bay has a cracked handle. I'm still researching info on the straight and then it's time to look into restoration.

A great haul. Love the repeating razor. I want one just for the cool factor!

 

Nice haul. The Schick Injector is an E2.

 

Thanks, I agree. The cool factor is the reason I bought. Now to see if the shave agrees with me.

Thanks, how can you tell if it is E2?

 

Wow! That was a great gift!

 

Vintage Schick Twin blades are by far my favorite injector blade.
I was sad to see that Supply Provision's razor won't take them but I can live with that.
