A perfectly good day for me as I managed to find some items in pretty good shape. It looks like they will clean up fine. The Erskine brush has a knot that looks to be useable, so after a cleanup, I will give it a try. The single ring should be in be OK after a baking soda and tinfoil bath, and the Goodwill has a scar on the top cap but all the teeth are straight.
Very good. A little TLC and in like Flynn. I wonder how someone made the divot in the goodwill! It'll be fine after a polish.
My new straight arrived. I can't believe how excited I was to open it. It's a beautiful piece of history
On my way home from work yesterday I stopped at a local pharmacy. They had this on sale: 11 € ($12.50) for the soap, 10 € ($11.50) for the brush. It's got the same knot as the Mühle Black Fibre brushes, but a cheaper plastic handle.

Vie-Long horse hair brush Fendrihan Ambassador Laser blades This is a large, heavy razor. The head is wider than my Merkur 180, the handle is about the same length with a large diameter. I'll try it tomorrow. It is open comb on one side and safety bar on the other.
Stopped at a little antique shop in Columbus, Ohio and found this 1937 Sheraton. Here she is after cleanup. Not sure why the doors are "frosted" rather than shiny.
Picked up these this morning at an estate sale. $5 Edit* These are the after a light cleaning I didn't realize that the flair tip was a d1 tv special. Slight brass showing in the inner tray. And the other is a silver plated New Standard . I was sure it was gold but it cleaned up nicely. There is a small hair line crack near the neck and the tto knob is showing brass. I'm happy with both.
The mailman just dropped off my Van Yulay "Jared" shaving soap. I was very pleased with the Petals de Rose...great lather and slickness. Got this one for less than 7 bucks shipped. Monica threw in a sample of Brandstof (inspired by the cologne Diesel Fuel for Life).
I sent kerry @RaZorBurn123 a package and he was so generous to send me this soap in return. Smells almost identical to acqua di parma colonia. Thanks again kerry Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
My first buys of the year: All direct from Saponificio Varesino. I purchased their 70th Anniversary soap late last year and it immediately jumped to the top of my list. I had to try others in the SV line. So I bought the 70th Anniversary aftershave, the new Cosmo soap and aftershave, the Tundra Arctica soap, and an alder wood bowl to hold it. I placed the order Tuesday afternoon Pacific time and it arrived Friday morning before 10AM. Unbelievable shipping from Italy to Arizona! Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
