A birth year 1966 bushed chrome Zippo! Err oops wrong thread/topic....hehehehe NB 16 still strong no shaving stuff...
Thanks, I don't have a bunch but a pretty good assortment. 1912, 1914, Bullet tip, Clogpruf, G bar, MMOC and a couple Valet's.
I gave my RR Plissoft to my son, so I ordered a Plisson type from Maggards to replace it. I like the color in the marble handle. Have a Personna Injector on the way from the Bay. Looks to be decent user grade??? I want to try one, anyway. I found a really nice birth quarter Black Handled Super Speed to replace the one I have already. I forgot, I ordered some TSD shave cream for my son. He really likes it. Should be here soon. Funny how AD's work. Other than a couple of soaps, I don't think I have really bought anything for months. Make one small purchase? The floodgates open. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I went on an SR buying binge yesterday and today and have these three beauties headed my way: First up, a John & Wm Ragg 7/8 Napoleon: From the same era a nice 13/16 Kropp: And the piece de resistance, a mid 1800s Wm Lund 6/8 with "an indeterminate mammal bone" scales. The first and last are NOS and the Kropp may or may not have previously been used. I'm going to do my best to not count the days.
The Maggard Synthetic is a fantastic brush. I've used mine almost exclusively for the last couple of weeks. When I first saw the pictures I was afraid I might not like that handle shape, but it's actually very comfortable to hold.
Hey Jim - I guess great minds think alike Just bought a Schick on Ebay as well. The seller did not mention a specific model, but I think it's an E5 (correct me if I'm wrong)
..Nice, Nice & Nice Man.. That's Defo a Type. G 1..It has the 2 Patent Numbers on the Left of the Spring.. Billy..
Guess you're right - I checked the seller's pictures again and found one that shows the two patent numbers on the head. Didn't know that the G-model also came with a black handle ... I have seen only turquoise, dark blue and amber so far.
It could be a G. Check and see if it says Shick Injector or Eversharp-Schick. If it is Shick Injector I would say it was an E5. E-S means it is a G. I have a navy G. It looks black until you get it in bright light.
Took advantage of the sale over at Popovleather and picked up a couple of front-carry card holders; Chocolate with tan stitching; Bourbon with brown stitching; With today's deal/sale they are selling at $24 each with free US/Canada shipping.
Ok, finally found a Hydro-Magic that wasn't priced high. Also NOS Schick blades in the same order. I guess $11.49 wasn't too bad to pay for both including shipping. Looks like all it needs is a good cleaning.
My HM was rough like that, but it cleaned up well. I really like it. Good buy. http://jrshaving.blogspot.com/2014/02/eversharp-hydro-magic_6.html
Ordered a blackbird polished razor from Blackland. My first all SS razor. The Timeless OC is the next on my wish list!
