Placed an order with Gifts&Care. Had been waiting to place the order as Myrsol Emulsion was out of stock.
Still waiting for: Soap order from Mike's (sitting in Customs somewhere) Macro lenses kit for my Iphone Two separate vintage brush lots from the UK (9 brushes total) Non shave related: Replacement decal kit for my wifes mountain bike (currently repainting the aluminum frame)
Next month will be one year that I traded away a Merkur Futur for EJ XL Silvertip Fibre in horn and though I like the EJ brush I missed shaving from time to time with the Merkur Futur. Well just completed another trade and gave up a new 39C that has been sitting in the den for a year and a tube of Tabac for a 3 times used Merkur Futur in Satin.
I just pressed the Button on this Beautiful Japanese Hamilton Straight Shave Ready Razor..The Seller has provided the Intel on the Honing Progression & Stones that he has used so hopefully it will be as Advertised..It sure looks a Nice Blade.. Billy..
Some of these Japanese Razors are Gorgeous..This One has a Swedish Blade..The Japanese often Imported German & Swedish Blades when making their Razors Billy..
I liberated these razors and brushes from a home that didn't want them. Everything below for a total, princely sum of about $15 1) NIB Merkur MII in gold w/ a brush described as "Bristle hair in natural stag horn handle. Made in the UK" 2) NIB Merkur MII in gold, w/ a small travel brush - Pure badger, Col Ichabod Conk, made in England. With travel tube. 3) NIB Merkur MII in gold, w/ a pure badger brush, stamped "Made in England"
I just won some vintage blades. Some Gillette Spoilers, Personna Super Stainless, and some Personna Precision Blades in Zipaks.
After years of waiting for an affordable Sheraton or Senator in decent shape, I scored this beauty with the case. It's practically NOS, as evidenced by the orange coloring of the razor. That's the original lacquer coating to protect the gold plating. It ended up being a little over $65 + shipping. It should have gone for over $100, but then it would have ended up with someone else. I can't wait to get it! Edit: it has one minor spot of plate loss, on the end of the TTO knob. Possibly caused by the case rubbing against that spot.
