It arrived today! Excited! That means I get the whole weekend to plunder through it! :happy108 Then it'll be on its way to JoeMal in Illinois. I'll follow up with pics soon...
Pictures! This sucka is full! Even after what I took out, which wasn't much at all. I don't know how I'm going to get my contributions in the box but I'm going to try my best to get it all in there... What I took out... I do brush restores and so I took out the brush because I've never seen one that has a magnet in the bottom of the handle. Very cool. I took the book because oddly, I've never read this book but have been wanting to forever. The pink Weishi was a removal for 2 reasons.. there's another one in the box so I took one to make some room in the box and my newly discovered niece wants to try wet shaving. I took 4 packs of the SuperMax blades to try since there's approximately 50 packs of those in the box. Guess no one likes them? What I'm putting in... A sampling of blades including Feather, BIC, Israeli Personna, Wilkinson Sword and some vintage Gillette blades. 4 Gillette razors... 2 aluminum ball end techs, a black handle Super Speed and bakelite handle tech in original box. Also there's one of my favorite razors in there.. made by Merkur, branded WECK. There's a brush handle for someone more experience than I to try and restore.. really love the handle but it's beyond my pay grade in how to get a not into that full metal band. The wonderful Gillette book by Russell Adams.. if you collect or love history, this is a must have. The jacket is in rough shape but the book is fine. And some soaps including Van der Hagen Glycerin which is seemingly hard to find these days and a Wilkinson Sword Shave Stick. Now to try and figure out how to get all of this in the box...
Those SuperMax blades are perfectly fine, Jeff bought them for me, but it was the SuperMax Super Platinum's that I was looking for.
Alright Joe, coming at you later on today! Tracking: 9101150134711652351844 I re-arranged things in a new Flat Rate Large Box and was able to add a few more goodies to the box than what is shown in my picture. Enjoy!
