The Haul: May 2017

I received some fragrances today. The Carven Le Vetiver smells fantastic. The Rhino I got to make an aftershave to go with the matching soap, the Civet was to see if I liked the scent (I ordered the matching CF soap already) and the Macaque was a freebie. All smell wonderful

 

I hope your experiment works! You should start a thread to document your progress!

 

I have one (well two actually) and I found it very unintuitive to shave with. I may have to give it another go.

Thank you!! Im so thrilled to have found it at a reasonable price.

 

I'll be using it tomorrow morning.

 

Congrats Kerry, I just got one of these myself. Jorge @Jorvaljr talked me into taking it off his hands, along with a Milord.

Have you shaved with it yet?

 

No, too many MAYhem shenanigans going on. Maybe in a shave or so.

There were two packages in the mailbox today. I'm thrilled with my new leather goods.

My wife's new lather bowl arrived and she loves it.

It was a good day

 

Thanks! Andrew. I've wanted this razor for a good while, just had my first shave and it was super.

 

English Tech made in the 40's. Came in yesterday with a case; going to try it today. It came with a bunch of misc. stuff and this glass cube seemed to work perfect as a razor stand.
A little plate loss at the neck, but looks pretty good all in all.

 

Been a quiet month so far.
This landed today. A complete, little used Wilkinson Empire E21(?). Two vgc blades - no rust.

 

Had a great time this weekend at the Maggard Event and ended up with one of the fabulous door prizes.

Matching White Whale soap and aftershave donated by Black Ship Grooming Co along with one of their Whaler brushes.

A terrific prize and one whale of a brush.

Just for perspective, I took a picture of it next to my Semogue Owners Club (which is no slouch and holds enough lather for two people to shave with) to try and give a sense of how big this thing is.

 

Yard sale haul

Got all of this and a Craftsman wet grinder for $20. I am most stoked about the Shulton Old Spice. The 2 flair tips are from 1961.

Very nice. 1961 was a good year

 

Silly question. Do you by some strange reason not have a birth year razor? If not The blue tip is G4 and the regular is G2.

I'm a G4 and have a G3 flare tip. That's as close as I've found.

 

The blue tip is yours if you want it.

Thank you Tom! I would love to have it. Do you have a birth year Razor?

 

Yes I do. I have a slim H4 @Jorvaljr found it for me.
I will get it in the mail for you later this week. I will clean it up for you.
