My wife and I had a six hour drive today to visit family. Fortunately we entered the drive in a map app and found out that the highway we use is closed due to flooding. We chose another route and set off. My wife pointed out an antiques shop and we pulled over. I found this 8/8 beauty in the front display case and negotiated a very fair price. A little research tells me that this address was used from 1865-76 While I was making the deal on this razor, my wife was cruising the store. She is getting good at spotting shaving gear and took me over to this one. The razor was closed and the scales have some issues, so she thought it might be rough. We had them pull it out of the case and look what she found, a 13/16 Wade and Butcher. I was able to get this one for a great price as well. I love it when my wife helps with the hunt. She is my good luck charm
Another black handle superspeed. This one's different than the rest I have. Knurled handle and stamping on the bottom is different.

There is a store here that carries Ogallala. I ran to the store to restock and saw an estate sale on the way. I picked up two unopened Skin Bracer bottles for a buck at the estate sale. I don't have any experience with this stuff, but for a buck it's worth a try. My wife picked the Ogallala scent this time
I received a kamisori via trade. I have searched for threads on how to use it, but find too much traffic. Is there a main thread that someone can point me to, please.
That is a beautiful Kamisori. I shave with both sides when I use mine. While not traditional, it works fine. Here is some good info. http://sharpologist.com/2011/10/a-kamisori-primer.html Have fun!
Ahh, Mantic - my original enabler. For some reason it did not occur to me that I should seek him out again. Thank You!
Skin Bracer is nice, or not. I either like it, or it reminds me of gym class in jr high. I guess my nose changes moods. When I like it, it's nice. Are those glass bottles?
