What are you waiting on to arrive...?

all good..that makes huge sense.i was wondering....

 

I scored this Burham Safety Razor on eBay. It is a fitting find for SEptember. If I get it in time, I will bump one of my scheduled razors and give it a go.

 

very cool Jim..

 

Very good!
I like mine, it's a good shaver.

Great haul!

 

A razor that I wanted went on sale.


It's a single edge razor that uses half DE blades.

A loan with friend, not actually an acquisition.
BUT, I'll be a lot of fun !!!

I ordered two EJ89 clones from Ali for something like 24$, one is going to a friend. They got some pretty nice safety razors, heads and handles for dirt cheap on Ali, it took them some time to get in the game but the reviews are generally very positive

 

I saw this on Ebay and the seller accepted my offer ......




One site says the dimensions are very nearly the same as a Simpson's Chubby #3 ..... I'll see.

 

Classsy and unique brush there, Keith. Do you have a way to redo printed lettering on pcs like that? Or a good way to protect and preserve what lettering is there? I've passed on so many printed, not recessed, lettered brushes for either too much existing letter wear or fear that the rest will wear off quickly.

 

Last night I won on eBay 2 vintage razors. 1: a 1970 Gillette gold plated Black Beauty and 2: a Kewtie “ladies” razor with Kewitie blades and case for a winning bid of $46. I bid on this solely for the gold plated Black Beauty. Funny thing is the seller didn’t even mention the gold plating but in all the photos you can clearly see it’s gold plated.

 

I have an idea to reproduce it but I may need help on that from @MrEE

Either way it's not the lettering that makes a great brush.

 

Hmmmm....great point.

 

Score!

 

awesome..cool score..

 

Nice stuff! You've been on the hunt for that for some time, haven't you?

 

Actually, I owned a tub of the Yardley Black Label (funnily enough, it was in a gorgeous, faux-wood container). And I had a bottle of the AS. We were moving a few years ago and I cleared the den of some now sorely-missed items and those two were amongst the sold. I haven't been actively searching for the soap, as it's truly one of the real unicorns and rightfully bears the moniker "unobtanium". Glad to have it back and NOS, to boot!
It's one of the all-time great shave soaps. The scent is what I used to refer to as: "What I would wear to the opera or to the White House".

 

glad you scored a missed unicorn Joseph..i am sure you won't sell this one..

 

Got a bit lucky on this one. For a little over $10.00, including shipping, I'll take it.............
