What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I found a Firestone Christmas record that I really enjoyed, so purchased seven more.


From the 60's.

 

Very excited to finally have a Wilkinson Razor coming. Seen some use an Injector blade so I'll need to find out how.

 

cool wilkinson set..nice score..

 

Thanks, kept waiting to get outbid. Got it on the cheap

 

Nice David!

 

I just purchased this 1950's Canadian made 1932 Pat. Tech razor off eBay. Should be arriving after Xmas.

 

cool 1951 tech set..nice score..

 

Thanks! It looks to be in excellent shape too for a 70 year old piece. With it's case too! I will just have to clean and sanitize it and it'll be ready for use. This is one I can't wait to try out. I have also ordered what's supposed to be a 1962 (my birth year) tech and a gold plated one but not sure of it's age. It just said "Post war" in the ad.

 

Central Texas Soaps(Grandpa's Barbershop soap)*

*The NEW version-this one will be minus the Bentonite Clay. Should be here Fri(18th).

 

This was part of a cheap eBay lot that arrived yesterday. I knew only that it was W&B, and assumed it was hollow ground because there wasn’t a detail picture, and the price seemed low to me (~$8, if you divide the price evenly). But it appears to be a full wedge, which was on my wish list. I’m hoping it’ll clean up nicely and be a great shaver.

Been on a frag jag lately. A few things in the way:

This one actually arrived today:


This one is supposed to be awesome:

Finally, a vintage bottle of Dior Eau Sauvage

 

My first Rotbart Mond-Extra en route


Vintage skin bracer

 

That razor should clean up well.

 

very cool Mike..

 

I'm guessing it's silver plated, but I really know very little about this brand. Was drawn to it by its rfb style.

 

Thank you Gary. Looking forward to trying this one out.

 

Flitz will make it shine.

 

@Aztecmike

Do the Aluminum Foil and Baking soda clean 1st so you don't remove more silver plating than you need to.

Flitz is some awesome stuff.

Thanks Dave..very good advice. I've used that method with very good results in the past. It worked wonders on 100 years of tarnish on a gillette bulldog old type I bought a while back.

 

I had a few minutes to kill on my lunch break today so I made a deal on this razor made by Prybrands Inc aka Conrad Razor Co. This one will become my regular user to help preserve another one I have with no handle brassing which came in a R.H. & Macy Co. case. I have also seen this same set in a B. Altman & Co. branded case. It's a superb shaver which has become one of my favorites.
