Spring is half-way gone, and summer's soon to be upon us. Time for lots of menthol and summer fragrances. What did you score this week? Post up pics if ya can!
SS I came across this 1951 Super Speed tucked away in a cabinet at an estate sale this Saturday. Nothing special but as my grandpa used to say, "Beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick."

Ebay-find A couple of razors I picked up from ebay. Lots of surface rust, but all edges are in perfect shape ! The two top ones are W&B, the 2nd from the top is an "Celebrated India.." wedge, I doubt the etching survive the rust removal though
My eBay brush from China arrived. The packaging was poor, the plastic "box" inside the envelope was smashed flat and the brush was not inside said box when I tore it open. It looks as if to be fine & I'll give it a go tomorrow.
From a flea market I was recently at: 4 oz bottle of English Leather after shave by Mem $2.oo 7 oz bottle of Old Spice after shave by Shulton $2.oo Both bottles were full. A bottle of Christian Lacroix Noir EDT from my wife The Avon Lady.
While I was picking up lunch I picked it up since I see it all the time at the local New Seasons & TJ's It is a local company here in Portland that makes body soaps and shave soaps. Cant wait to try it later today.
Will do. If anyone wants more info on this soap here is their site http://www.camamusoap.com/camamu soap/shaving soap.htm
