What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Wow! You guys are killing me.

 

Wife's Irish, she loves it. My St. Patrick's Day Brush for sure.

 

Only 8 more days, man! You can do it.

 

Oh, I'll make it! Thanks for the encouragement!

 

I won't know until August 1st but I think a jar of S'more from Knockout Shave, a jar of RazoRock
Santa Maria del Fiore Sapone da Barba and a Stirling synthetic brush. I haven't seen any of the products come through the mailbox yet. I haven't been looking either, ill have to wait and see. I hope she's not keeping the goods in the trunk of her car.

 

Haha thats cool. Great present =P she has a good taste.

I hope she isnt keeping then in the trunk of her car too. You can drop hints. Listen to HTGAM podcast when he talkes about the soaps melting and building your mailbox as a cooler

 

Waiting on a customer.....who called me this morning because he knows I collect razors. He says he found 3 old DE razors he has had for a long time and offered to sell them to me for $20 for the lot. I have no idea what they are but of course I said yes. He will be in this afternoon to have his car serviced so I'll find out then. Fingers crossed!

 

This portly fellow is en route to me:

 

It's probably just a toggle, a bottom-dial fatboy and double-ring.

 

Yeah nothing to get excited about.

 

So interesting. Mystery box!

 

If it is I'll give him double what he paid for it.

 

No such luck but......a flair tip superspeed and a 40s superspeed...gotta decrud them for date codes. And..a slim. Waiting to decrud as well. The slim definitely makes the package better. Pictures to come later in The Haul.

 

Assuming they clean up halfway decently you came out ahead. Nice score.

 

Well I need another brush like I need a hole in the head but picked up a Leonhardy 700740 24/67mm in faux tortoise which comes with a Muhle travel case and a bottle of Myrsol Emulsion Pre/Post Emulsion.

 

Penn No 40 Adjustable SE Safety Razor....

Last night I pressed the But it Now Button on this USA Made PENN No 40 Adjustable SE Razor ....There are a few variation's of the USA Made PENN SE around and they tend to go quite cheap because they use a proprietary blade which are no longer available....

These Penn No 40 adjustable Sets are not as common.....I have the original proprietary blades coming with this quite unusual adjustable set and I will use them as a Template and or cut the front off from one to seat an injector blade to make it shave ready....I am not sure of the width of these proprietary blades but I am confident that either a Standard Injector Blade, Personna Hair Shaper Blade or a Feather Injector Blade will fit with some modification's .....
This will be an Injector Blade SE Razor once I get my Mitts on it.....

Looks like it's in beautiful condition. Can't wait for the shave report

 

Aye, she looks in really good condition....There were other photos, but I cant copy them, but its a Closed Comb Design very much like the Christy that I have...I saw another one of these but its going for stupid money.....

MIRAK the Miraculous Safety Razor with Miracle Blades.....

Another Shot....

And lastly....

I just bought this NOS MIRAK - The Miraculous Safety Razor made in Bloomfield New Jersey USA.....The seller said that its got two patent dates, July 1919 and June 1920 stamped on it....I have came across these before but they have always been in extremely poor condition.....When I saw this I said to myself.....Billy Boy this has got your name stamped all over it.....The USA seller was wanting £45.00 for it and I made him an offer of £35.00 .....He accepted my offer and I am delighted with my NOS purchase.....

Here again this razor takes a propriety blade that is not currently available....I don't know if this will take a Modern GEM Blade without any modification....I will have to wait and see.....It will certainly take a modified Gem Blade or an injector blade....
Once I get my paws on it this razor will sure stand up to its name and have a Miracle Blade ....
