    Got this in the mail today, an E-cig case. Ok, not what you call shave related, but I don't think that way. I needed a small travel shave kit because I like to travel light and it's something I can grab quickly, as I tend to forget things when I'm in a hurry. I also reused a few items to keep it compact. 1st pic - The case is around seven inches long, as you can see by my #1 carry knife. 2nd pic - The two white containers in back, reused shampoo sample bottles, have Proraso Green shave cream and Stetson Black after shave balm in them. The two front containers, reused e-cig liquid bottles, have pre-shave oil and witch hazel. My SS handle for new model Gillette with short and long comb bases. Pack of Voskhod blades along with my badger hair travel brush. And two perfume sample containers that now have Stetson Black cologne in them. Yes they do come apart, just take your time. Luckily they weren't any that my GF really cared for. 3rd pic - All in the case and ready to go if needed. I also have a small travel bowl, but if I forget it, I can always borrow a cup to use............. IMG_0591.jpg IMG_0593.JPG IMG_0594.jpg

    I picked this up at a little boutique in Jasper, AB this last week. The last time I bought anything of this sort I was a teenager. I love the citrus highlights and the deep wood undertones. SWMBO loves it too! :)

    I got some wooden candle cups at A. C. Moore's and paired them with the boar knots I got last week. Here is one of the results.

    Mail call and pleasantly I'm surprised all the way around.

    The Clix arrived. It had a black head in the listing pics so I figured it for a bakelite head...for the cheap price it was worth rolling the dice. Arrived not only in near-pristine shape but actually has a black-finished all metal head! I've regretted parting with the all metal EZ Flo, maybe the most comfortable 3 piece I've ever used. This design looks identical so I bet it's the same head. Anyway, it'll be today's shave.

    The Stetson Country cologne/as also arrived. The description at Basenotes says it has everything I like so I waited several months for a good price to come up. I'm pleased to find it similar to Beene's discontinued but wonderful Bowling Green, of which I have a reserve stock. Beene's is richer and brighter; Country is drier and more subdued. Both are excellent variations on the same green theme.

    Have a good weekend, gentlemen.

    My D. Corrado gold 2 piece came in today! Can't wait to try it out later today. There isn't much information out there on this razor. Although I've read Dovo made these in a post, it sure feels and looks like my merkur slant but an OC version.

    I also got another slim, a World Series edition k1 with blue case

    I saw some chatter on another forum recently saying that Dominica was possibly going to discontinue their Bay Rum Lime aftershave. Since it's easily the favorite of all the bay rums I've tried, I decided to grab a couple of bottles just in case the rumor was true.

    I also picked up a bottle of the West Indies Creole Hot Pepper Sauce just because it's hot sauce, and I could. It was a good decision. The stuff is tasty.

    I've got the same in their bar soap and really like it. I didn't realize they offered an eau de Parfum.
    My wife picked up the bar soap for me at Merz in Chicago and I've since ordered several more bars.
    Guess I need to pick up the parfum.

    The perfume is fantastic! It lasts about 8 hours. If you get the chance, I recommend it.

    Pat. Jan.14.1920 stamped on the handle but a New LC head... Am I forgetting when the NEW replaced the OLD, or are these mismatched? Also, I'm thinking the box belongs to a TTO razor due to the shape of the cutout for the head. It has room for the end caps/hinges for the doors.

    Head and handle seems correct. I can't tell which case you have, but it may not be the correct one. It's similar but I don't think original.

    I'm pretty sure the case is for a fat handle tech

    those groove prints at the end of the handle look like they came from a super speed. Milord??

    I'm thinking that or my Aristocrat.. I still didn't get a good photo but on the head end there are notches for a TTO hinge. I also think the grooves in he handle end are from the ball end rings. Maybe... I'm pretty sure the case isn't for a 3 piece razor. I know I need to clean it off but it just looks nice inside and figured it was for one of the nicer models.

    yeah, most likely not the razor you have. Still looks like a super speed cause I have one in a lined case with the same groove pattern imprinted in the lining. they seem evenly spaced like a super speed and different than a ball end when I compared my old short comb in a lined case with a ball end. just my opinion though.
