The Haul: May 2017

Classy. Any idea on age?

 

Just got ten of these.

 

I really don't know. I found this:

BRESDUCK INC.
224 Canal Street, New York City
Also used trademarks "DUBL-DUCK", "LIFETIME", "NAPOLEON", "BEAU BRUMMEL", "DEUTSCH", "SATINEDGE"
ca. 1930 - 1952; firm became known as Pearlduck in 1952
​

Maybe someone else knows better.

 

Now you can cover all the angles....

Nice....old enough then.

 

Cool mirror!

 

Mail call today!!

 

New Type LC. Most of the plating intact. No cracks.

 

Forgive me what is this?

Your in for a very close shave. Very nice.

 

The razor is a Barbasol razor, hard to find and hard to find cheap. You can find them but those who know what they are ask a lot for them. the red plastic cases are old blade packs. They are just for me to mess with, clean and fill with razor blades.

 

The weight of it was surprising . It felt like a stainless steel razor!

 

It's amazingly agile as well. I am very happy with it.
As far as i can see, the only shortcoming is what it's made of. I'm not sure it can be replated. So I'm figuring we should love'em while we got'em. I think it's aggressive enough the previous owner of mine used it sparingly (lucky me).

 

Cool mirror. That puts a while new meaning to putting something in rotation.

 

Awesome stuff, beautiful razor! Only my after shave, lotion and creme got me close to a Barbasol brotherhood membership...I'd like to be a vested member with a razor like that.

 

Study the guard and handle configuration, they normally are mislabeled and sold in lots, their ignorance can be your gain.

 

Who did you have to kill to get that?

 

Very nice, I'm sorta jealous. Definitely too rich for my blood. I'll just enjoy vicariously through your reports.

 

Bought this Omega 20107 to harvest the knot for transplanting. I started the break in and defunking process already.

 

Just got back from the Maggard meet up. Had a great time meeting the vendors and running into some familiar faces. Hats off to the Maggard crew for hosting such a awesome event, and thanks to all the vendors that participated.

Got a nice size bag full of all types of stuff, various samples from many great vendors. Some full size items I got are:

Stirling Coconut Lime
Sudsy Soapry Cola
Tiki Fougere
Ballenclaugh Old Barber Menthe
Wickhams Citrus Musk
Shannon's Haymarket Vetiver A/S


Really had a great time talking to everyone, this wet shaving community is a awesome group of people and am honored to be a part of. Looking forward to checking out the new gear, and will be doing a couple PIF's coming up soon to earn a few carma points, give back to a community that has treated me like family, and give someone else a chance to try some different products as well. So look out for some upcoming PIF's, will get them started soon as I can get some extra funds.

 

Pretty great to see a quote from an elegant speaker like Monsieur Clemenceau right on the cover .
