What's really amusing is the fact that DB has more of those brushes than Fido (the creator of the New Forest brand) does. He kept the first brush made, the last brush made and one or two others.
No... The Instagram seven are a bit more exciting than these actually Here: Should have them in a week or so
Yesterday has been my first haul of 2016. An Ever Ready 1912 SE Razor. I know many people have made great experiences with it. Hopefully i will be one too.
Found this at Dollar Tree, they just got it in. https://www.dollartree.com/Pears-Soap-with-Mint-Extract/p349968/index.pro Already shaved this morning so I can't try it out yet. Not expecting much so hopefully it'll surprise me. Just noticed it's made in India. Hopefully that's a good sign.
No picture at the moment but I got my Stirling order in today: Stainless Steel DE3P7S 22mm Synthetic Brush Ordered December 28th but it arrived just a few minutes ago so put it in this haul
The Christmas haul. I've long been intetested in whiskey water pitchers, but could never find one linked to anything I drink. I found this in Berkley Springs, WV. This was a gift from my wife. It's a Barbasol I admired in an antique store in MD a year ago. I don't know how to determine if it's a floating head, or the year. This is my second heirloom razor...a Bar Handle NEW that belonged to my stepfather's dad. I posted this pic earlier, but might as well share it again.
jayaruh #33 horsehair jayaruh cholula badger travel brush and a selection of 16 blades (8 different brands, 2 of each) from tryablade, now that my razor collection is a bit more robust and my technique a bit more refined.
I love Glenlivet, lived in WV, and that bar handle New looks just that, new. Nice treasures. ... To be continued... Don
My @Jayaruh #12 is squared also. It's great for face lathering and easy loading due to the shape. Hope you enjoy your brushes.
I just received this Old Type from the UK today. It had the razor blade shown in it. Looks like a 1908 based on serial number A 625126. It has a Brit Pat number 28.763.02. Info I read from another forum indicates Old Types A and B series were made in Boston and exported to the UK. UK production supposedly did not start until early 1909. Looks to be in great shape and does not appear to have any cracks, and of course plenty of patina. The initials on the top of the case are a mystery. The seller had no info on the case or razor. I wonder if the ititals were a UK thing? I proably will eventually clean it up using hot water, baking soda, aluminum in the glass pan procedure. My 1918 now has a sibling.
