What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Sometimes....I just don't understand USPS:

05:30am: Package arrives in Martinez, CA
07:55am: Sorting complete in San Francisco
08:05am: Out for delivery in San Francisco
08:06am: Arrived at Martinez, CA

......huh?

 

One man can only deliver so many packages. He passed it off to a pinch hitter.

 

Scored the very rare and elusive "Gillette U.S. Patriot kit"!!






















OK, so there is no such thing


But, I like the case, never had a case for my birthyear Slim so that's what this will be used for.

Trivia:
The blue blade case in the picture is a "US Gov't Gold Bond" case and blades.

Waiting on the mhule r41 grande....this will be my last expensive purchase for a long while....next month im going to buy a couple things under 20$ each and that will hopefully be my last purchase altogether for a loooong while....if i come across something locally thats affordable itl be fair game

 

I just won a Palmolive aftershave for 2$

 

Vintage F. Fenney Tally Ho (1824-1852) Sheffield straight razor; 7/8"

 

Picked up a Wilkinson bonded razor.
This one was sold in Portugal and maybe I'm delusional but I think the razor is more white than the 'grayish' razors of this model that I've seen before.

 

After a ton of questions and plenty of contemplating, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a Merkur 39c. Should be here by Tuesday.....never thought I'd be this excited about buying a razor.

 

Great razor!

 

be sure to let us know how it goes.

 

Pretty nice!!!

 

Will do!

 

I hope it smells nice

 

The bills... :mail:

 

Hahaha

 

I wonder when it's from. Nice score.

 

You forgot to add Mrs. RaZorBurn.
:mail: :ahem:

 

I'm sure she'll appreciate that

 

I think she needs a bigger bat

 

Actually it's a belt..
