    The top picture was from the eBay auction. The magazine has one Schick twin blade. The middle is an E3 Schick. The third one is a G1 Eversharp-Schick. Below is after I cleaned them up.

    I had made a walnut handle yesterday for this Schick, so, today I was able to join the two together.

    I'm almost tempted to break a handle or two just for you to make me up a couple................

    Great scores Gentlemen

    I have been on a roll finding vintage Gillettes lately. A Toggle last week and now this. A 1948-1950 Aristocrat that seems to be NOS. The razor appears unused and the Speed-pak “dispenser” is still sealed and unwrapped. I think it is closer to 1950 because it has the lip built into the top lid to hold down the blade bank.

    This isn't exactly a "new" Haul as it has been stored in my razor collection box for quite awhile, but today was the first time I ever examined it closely and cleaned it up:

    While looking for my Khaki set tonight to re-examine the razor, I came across a rather fascinating old travel set that I think I will try out tomorrow.

    It's a simple metal cylinder 6 3/4 inches long by 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The top third unscrews and a boar brush is stored in the now open bottom. The base of the hollow metal brush handle unscrews in turn, revealing the stored soap stick. Meanwhile the top cap unscrews from the top third of the cylinder, revealing a 4-piece travel razor and a metal blade bank. There are no maker's marks on any of the pieces. I originally bought it from a UK vendor on eBay, and the blades in the blade bank are vintage English-made stainless Wilkinsons, so I am guessing it was probably made in England but I don't know for sure.

    As a travel set, it would have been very handy. Just a simple streamlined cylinder to slip into a suitcase or even into an inside jacket pocket, and everything is there ready to go when needed.

    The boar brush is about a 20mm knot. I soaked it and gave it a wash with shampoo conditioner. It lost three or four hairs but otherwise seemed to respond well. I think I will try shaving with the brush and razor tomorrow. I'm not so sure about the soap though -- it smells okay, a vague tallow smell but otherwise nothing much, but looks a little grubby...

    Today I received my custom knife from @Pete123 (Hendrix Classics). The razor exceed all my expectations and the pics do not do justice to the beauty of the scales. Pete was kind enough to include some Swedes, a bath soap and a shaving soap sample. This razor will definitely be with me and then my heirs.

    Beautiful knife! And I think you will find both the shaving soap and the bath soap are excellent.
