Stainfjord Flajn Studios Safety Razor Dark Wood w/ 10 Blades. It looks to be a DE89 clone, but I really liked the look of the wood handle & seller accepted offer of $11.00 shipped, so I figured why not. The manufacturers website sells it for 70€ plus shipping, waaay overpriced I'm sure.
I had the winning bid on a 1930's Rotbart Nr. 5017 set. Thankfully this one went for less than I was expecting. 1937 Rotbart catalog page borrowed from mr-razor.com
Guessing I have S.B.A.D. (Shave Bowl Acquisition Disorder). The first two from a FB group member, excellent price. And the third from an Ebay seller accepting my low offer........
I have a HIS bowl like this one below. I'll most likely try to get two other colors I've seen, black and ivory..............
Gatlinburg is just awesome. A scent that is fresh but warm, woody, smokey almost like tar but like a forest in a way. very complex scent
very cool Mike.quite similar to the black handled popular.i believe rotbart was owned by gillette of england by this time.
Thanks Gary. They do look like cousins don't they. I won't know until I've got it in hand, but I believe this Rotbart will weigh much less than the Popular.
ARKO was my choice of soaps this morning. Simple, cheap, & always an outstanding lather. I don't even mind the scent either.
i am loving this stuff.lately.a bunch of soaps/creams i have are hitting the 5 year mark.giving some away,tossing others.i have a few i will repurchase over time.mostly tobs and stirling.i am done with the rest.this batch of arko will last me years.
A couple of lots i just won The only thing i wanted is the OC Gem. I dont need these at all but the culmak ( i thought simpson ) looked awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
