I ought not visit antique stores with cash in my pocket. The straight in correct box, A.J.Jordan. Sheffield & St.Louis makes it between 1878-1926. but I'm thinking earlier as it doesn't seem to say England, only Sheffield. It's 11/16" but for the heel that has a small chip or three. Loving the smile and hollow point. The Fatboy is an '60 F1. Adjuster clicks nice for how grubby I found it. Guess I'll look into breakdown and clean procedures. The box has broken hinges, but may serve to repair another. The long handled light blue ball end Gillette with star burst? New to me. Super Speed by Gillette with no date code I can read has one chromed cap missing. The one I bought from The Mayor is missing both caps. Cosmetic as the function seems good. Then there's the three piece Gillette... no date code, but the gold finish is in fair to good condition. Etching on the top is barely discernible. I need to stay away from antique stores. At $10 for the straight, and all four DE's for a twenty I'm getting close to a NoBuy 2016. Merry Christmas everyone!
Nice haul. The light blue razor is a lady Gillette. They came in various colors including pink and champagne as well as blue.
My new brush Jayaruh #34 arrived today just in time for a Christmas morning shave! A big thanks and a merry Christmas to @Jayaruh!

Did anyone on the last travel box (or the one before) get my old blood-red handled boar brush? I was looking forward to seeing a restore job on it cuz it needed it, badly. But that semi-transluscent handle is gorgeous.
Picked another Ikon head to go with the OSS handle I have. This one is the 101 with open comb on one side and closed comb on the other. This with go well with the TSD Iced Mojito soap that just arrived.
