The Haul: January 2016

It is it's an amazing razor. I look forward to experiment with it

 

That's an interesting brush. I like the stealth looking black on black with the gold lettering. Let us know how it works for you

 

1919 Bulldog (all cleaned up) and supporting cast.

 

Came out real nice. Never seen Polsilver in that brown labeling before.

 

Outstanding! That is a pretty nice gift my friend!

 

They were made in Poland before the plant (Lotz) was bought out by Gillette. Still available at Shaving i.e.

 

Another brush to restore arrived today. This is a Rubberset 200-2. No damage just dirty. I'm going to clean it and get a new knot.

 

I have a few of those at home and the rubber top makes me shy away. The one I tried to do broke when extracting the knot. Good luck to you though sir.

 

Congratulations. I hope you have lots of fine shaves with this wonderful looking shaving instrument.

 

I got a bunch of other stuff but this is the only shave related one =) it's an amazing razor i tell ya

 

Thank you very much, the first shave was exceptional

 

I'm going to give it a shot. Basically I cut the knot off and go to work with a Dremel. Easy does it for sure just carve away really. I did another Made Right that was set in rubber a while back it came out fine. Slow and easy wins the race on this job.....

 

Just received ... The "Gillette" Super Click, from Ebay...for $3.99 (No Shipping Charge?) This, just about, satisfies my culmination in the varieties of 'Vintage Razors' I've sought (33 Safety Razors). Am I through? Probably not! But; The 'RUSH' of the gatherings has now dissipated. I'll keep my eyes open for the "RARE" ones...but...all-in-all....WHEW! I SHAVE with ALL of Them...but; I'll NOT Open the sealed Package on the "CHEAPEST-ONE" of them all; The "Gillette" Super Click; from Taiwan! hah, hah, hah..

 

Received this old Wilkinson Fixed Profile metal razor.
The poor packaging - thin envelope instead of a box - unfortunately resulted in a crack in the plastic lid but...as the razor was less than $3 I'd feel bad even mentioning it.


The razor itself is pure NIB/NOS though and looks/felt great


The razor is very similar to another design by Sir Kenneth Grange - the Wilkinson Royale (t0 the right below) - but with less metal in the handle and therefore less heavy.

 

@Darkbulb it's very cool! Does it take atra blades and or sensor blades?

 

February 10th 2003? Man, that took FOREVER to get to you!

 

I hope that's just the photo setting otherwise that will be an all-time low for USPS.

 

Well, I am glad I am doing No buy eBay 2016, because I could not pass this handle up at Elite Razor. Now I have to plan the knot to put in this combination Buckeye Burl and resin handle. Coming soon to a mailbox near me. Yeas, this one I am bragging about.

 

It will take...Atra/Contour/Slalom/Vector, Schick Ultrex/Ultra/Pivot (sold as Wilkinson Sword Twin II Plus in the USA) and Wilkinson Sword Profile/Ultra Glide/Pivot/Contact carts...

 

Well talk about versatile.
