1. No that the filter I used, it's worn silver. Man but everything works great! I just came to me from having a tuneup does this picture help? No filter

  2. Old Spice coffee mug and travel Gillette.. And the blade pack is still sealed in cellophane! (Yes, my hands are dirty. I was working on my truck at a buddies house and stopped by the antique store on the way home)

  3. How do you like the shave? I know you've been lusting after one for what, a year or so now?

    Ordered on June 30th as a last purchase before NBJ. Received today. I really like the proraso white smell.
  5. I'll use it tomorrow for the first time.

  6. Surprise from my wife's vacation garage sale excursion. She paid $15 bucks for all.
    I think the super speed is a '48-49 (may be the birth Razor I've been looking for) no date code. The reissue patent # on the open comb is 17567. Any help with ID for these 2?
    I'm a hat person and a couple hats that are pretty decent. Man I love that girl. May even rub her feet tonight. IMG_20150702_220846.jpg IMG_20150702_221106.jpg IMG_20150702_221317.jpg
  7. Congratulations on the two razors. I am looking forward to seeing them cleaned up. The NEW appears to be a short comb from the 30s. The Super Speed is the first of the notched SSs. It is cool.

  8. They're gonna get a good cleaning when I get back to S Florida. I'll probably send the SS to Razor Emporium. Maybe to get replated seeing it may be a birth razor. I can't seem to find the reissue patent # on their Gillette date code page for the open comb. Been wanting to try one. I'll post pics after cleaning.

  9. Razor burn, you're really going to like it. It's going to be one of your favorite razors. Though it still looks pink.

  12. Will do.. I didn't shave today so I'll use a known good shaver tomorrow, but will use the travel size one after that.
  13. Did a fair bit of satisfying my newbie AD in late-June.

    Four packages arrived this week.

    The Haul July 15.JPG

    I tried various A/S samples and ended up with Myrsol Limon and Blue, as well as a Proraso Green.

    A clever Easter Egg PIF (thanks @Bama Samurai) landed me a bottle of Florida Water and some Silver Blues. (It pays to wander aimlessly around TSD!)

    Found a cheap lot of razors -
    Standard Open Comb, Gillette New LC, GEM Pushbutton (anyone recommend some good blades for this?) Schick - Eversharp Injector.

    And a very nice Gillette (1930s?) New Long Comb with box.

    btw - all purchased in June as was one more bundle coming from TSD Shop.
  14. Had a great shave this morning! Here's my picture for the SOTD. No filter, could be the lighting?

  16. Any idea on the year? Or did the patent run for several years?
  17. Some great stuff in that picture. I love Myrsol products myself.
