The Haul: March 2013

Sexy razor! Nice score bud.

 

Last couple of days

SOTQ spoiler (open) SOTQ spoiler (close)

From TSD - SOTQ, menthol crystals, GEM stainless blades and Voskhods
From Amazon - Schick injector blades
From Ebay - an Eversharp G1, vintage Schick injector blades and an Ever-Ready 79 to reknot.

 

WOOPS! Sorry about that. It is a great scent though.

 

Man, your ceiling looks weird.

 

O Arko Man, you always make me smile
So does the big Astra box.

Such a great scene! Had to rewatch

 

Hehe touché.

 

Just in today is another vintage Gillette Open comb that needs quite a bit of work. It did come with a case, but no blue box. Also what I've been waiting for came in. Some Schick injector blades AND this beautiful Vintage never used Merkur w/ plastic case and original merkur blades in the tan wax paper. The only thing is I know little to nothing about Merkurs. Can anyone tell me what model of merkur razor this is.
Thanks

 

looky what I got today.....
The Arko came from the Arko PIF contest. Thanks again, Moe. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
The 1970 Gillette P2 Black Beauty came from Ebay. It came with the original case, 1 original blade in the original metal tin. The pics do not do it justice. THIS THING IS IN MINT CONDITION!!!!! Even the numbers have all the black paint. I know I said I overpaid, when I bought it, but man is this thing worth every penny of $47.00 + $3.00 shipping!
So pumped to try it out tomorrow!

 

Got some SE's to add to my collection today
View attachment 35939
A GEM Micromatic Clog-Proof, a pushbutton, a 1912 in silver color, and a plastic ivory handled model with a G on each side of the handle.

 

Well, here's the pic not as an attachment

 

Just won this from the bay... $28 Canadian. Too good a deal to pass up!





1967 slim adjustable in excellent condition, 2 NOS shaving brushes.

Gonna have to let my rad settle down before SWMBO kills me. Lol

 

And they say the economy is in the toilet. Not for Shave Den members, lol!
Congrats, Nice score.

 

My lust for the behemoth brush is strong (hello Simpson PL14!), but my passion for ramen noodles is not. Thus, the economical Ohpaos Jumbo aka "Oh, Jumbo!" will be coming to a resto thread near you. I've selected a promising handle for the Jumbo prototype -- Gentlemen's Regiment Shaving Brush, by Avon circa 1980. (stock images follow, my source = retired Avon lady ).

Oh, Jumbo! (prototype handle)


Field research suggests that a 26mm knot will fit nicely. (maybe I could do 28mm...) That may seem puny compared to the 31-32mm knots of the PL14 & Kent BK12, but Jumbo's longer handle should help its monster-brush street cred.

This was the 4-pc Gentlemen's Regiment Shaving Set by Avon (just FYI)

 

Excellent score. What's the date code on that razor?

 

Seller didn't specify, I'll have to look when I get her next week. I'll report back

 

I think I see a first quarter '1' on the last picture!

 

Looks like the Classic tip. HD tips are chunky monkeys. Closed comb classic would be 33c or 23c --same head, different handle lengths. 23c is longer, around 4 in. I considered her before settling on my Foxy Roxy TTO.

 

More goodies from my ceiling.


I am pretty excited about this one. I lost about ten auctions on the bay looking for the right price and got this beauty for $10 delivered. I can't wait to give it a spin.
