What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Good luck with that being the end. It looks like your missing a GEM razor or two and where is the injectable razor. Oh I forgot about the straights.

 

"...the end." Yeah, suuuure.

 

The end for razors, might get some more soaps that I don't need. I started shaving in 1958 with Gillette razors. Then went over to carts. 7 months ago started with de razors again and got hooked. I enjoy using all my stuff. The razors you mentioned I have no desire to own.
I hope to outlive my small collection.
I really enjoy following you guys on these forums, keeps me busy.

Just waiting for my Sampson's, and then I'll see if I'm done ordering anything for awhile. If anything I'll order blades, and that's it. Untill next year, then I might get a Shavemac or an H.L.Thater. I know, I said I may never try Silvertip, but why not ? That's all I've get left to try, imo.

 

Waiting on an order of Mike's. After so many years Mike's is still by far my favorite soap!

Peppermint & Rosemary
Wild Honeysuckle
Orange, Cedarwood, & Black pepper
Lemongrass & Eucalyptus

 

Should be here my Monday...my 3rd autostrop...Thank you to Rick Deweese for telling me about these on your podcast !

 

I'm waiting on January, being as I signed on for the no-buy-2017... Still, other than trying a new aftershave or two, there really isn't anything more I want!

 

I like the shave they give and just recently discovered that after having a couple in a junk box for a year.

 

I sure hope its not the end. I know where a few of those beauties came from!

 

This one is a bit of a mystery... the listing describes it as a "Vintage Star Brand Black Double Edge Razor Kit w/ 5 Gilette SS Blades,Carry Case". Certainly, it has a Star case:

But it is clear from the next picture that something else is inside:

As best as I can tell from the seller's pictures, that is a four-piece English Flat Bottom Tech, one of those fun variants that we didn't get here in the US (although Gillette Canada did produce a version).
Now for the bit of mystery... The closest equivalent that I can find on Achim's site is this one:

which is not quite the same WRT the handle ridges.

It's funny, this is the second time in about a month that I've bought a "Star" razor which was really an English Gillette in a Star case.

This is also probably the most I've personally spent on a single razor. I ended up accepting a counteroffer from the seller and paid $21 shipped.

 

At $21 I think you got a great deal, John!

 

The 4 piece is a great razor! I have one as well, though mine is a Canadian.

 

Is yours a flat bottom or the normal diamond?

 

Thanks! Now I just need to get a Bakelite Star razor one of these days since I will have two of the correct cases.

 

I think its the triangle, but not sure. I can't find out till I finish move and unpack.

 

BTW, its coming from ZIP Code 23024- Bumpass, VA. (You gotta love that name.)

 

I’m waiting on a Mamba!! It’ll be used but considering it’s sold out I’m ok with that and the deal I got on it.

 

The PO managed to deliver my brush to an address that is the same as mine in the next town over(Princeton). Gonna have to go and raise some Cain tomorrow. I know the gentleman at the other address. He'll put it back in his mailbox with a note. This is not the first time this has happened.

 

Crazy. It's happened to me before with the next street over. I'm happy that it will all work out.

 

I have a bottle of Brain Booster supplement coming, let's see if it helps.
