Great haul.

 

Very nice! Me likie the F150s

 

Thanks to @Primotenore, my first "Fine" soap..........

 

That is a great haul! Those Fine triple milled pucks were awesome…it was sad news when the supplier in the Netherlands closed. Very generous of Joseph to let one go.

 

Good stuff!

 

Wow - look what came today! This beauty was made by @jtspartan as a prize for the TSD raffle. I am delighted!

Thank you, Jason!

 

Yaqi mail call, bought these razor heads on the Trending sale back about 3 weeks ago because the price was right to take a chance. The razor on the left is called a Zephyr head and on the right a Yaqi sentinel 316 SS 1.50mm head. So looking forward to testing these razors out of the next week or two. I put them a few handles I own to show how they look.



Have some great shaves!

 

Thursday’s mail call is from Maggard Razors; today I got a Simpsons Chubby 3 Synthetic brush.

 

Congratulations! I really like my chubby 3, though forgive me, only the traditional badger for me.

 

25 March 2023

Quick trip to the E-sheds in Fremantle, WA (Oz!). Yet another Tech, pretty sure this does not belong to the case, but I liked the case too much to pass up.



Hinges and clasp are in great condition. The lining is quite good.

The outside of the box is a bit tarnished. how best to clean this: dish detergent/ Silvo / Brasso / Gumption.

Don't want to get the lining wet.

The razor is yet another aluminium lightweight but different to the one I have. It cleaned up nicely enough.

 

Looks like a Single Ring case.

 

Refreshing Palmolive cream

 

@jimjo1031

thanks Jim this is the closest I can find>
similar but not quite the same.


Hmm or maybe this one...

Just exactly does "single ring" refer to, the neck or the knurling or the base of the handle?
From I can read these tended to crack and might be hard to find?

 

This is one of my Single Rings, 1916. The case is like yours, and from what I know, cases can vary depending on the year. Especially with the style of the logo...........

Very neat, thanks for sharing.
So that is a single ring? Also called a 102, I think?
Gillette razors are confusing. Too many to keep track of.

 

Yeah, it's called a Standard Set, but it's a Single Ring razor.

 

A few brushes and a W-11 Wizamet Razor.



The brushes are Made Rite #54, Canadian Simms, Culmak 55, and an Ever Ready 1500.
