And here's one I couldn't resist (for some strange reason) A razorette complete in a box with an extra blade (not pictured) I couldn't find anything out about this thing. A couple places indicated it was made by Beeman and another listed it as made by St Clair. It's about the same size as a Kewtie.
Sorry, I didn't show the top of my box - it's plain (no pattern) so that's why I thought it wouldn't be for a 501. Serial # on the razor makes it a 1909
I have been using a lot of maggard 2 band finest but if someone wants it I put whatever they want in it Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
So my lovely wife decided that she was getting me business cards and tins to throw together Christmas gifts and help me with my budding restoration side project! She just sent me this picture.... needless to say She's a keeper! Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
@SmokeShowing did a PIF for Stirling Soap samples. I was the lucky one and they just arrived this afternoon. I'm quite excited about it since I've never tried Stirling soaps and have pondered buying for months, just never did. Thanks, Craig!
I have only tried 2 of those but Ben Franklin and Pumkin Spice are both great. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
Just arrived today! A new to me translucent Arkansas stone! 6x1x1/2. The person who had it before has it very flat and smooth.

Garage sales and antique store haul Starting with the garage sale. I bought the entire box of stones. I really only wanted the coticule. But it has some nice boxed India stones and a good small Arkansas Translucent. All for $5 Next was the antique store. Where I picked up the unopened tech,F2 fatboy and the Straight. I was most interested in getting the straight. As it is in fantastic condition. I need to research but I think it is 1840’s1850’s. I ponied up $40 for that lot. Lastly was the 37 Sheraton in the Super Speed box. Was only able to get him down to $30 for that. All in all a nice day scrounging. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Thanks. It has been many months not finding anything. I told my wife this morning that I felt lucky. Finding the stones first made my day. Then the razors was an added bonus. I think the pricing was fair. Not any super deals by any stretch. Fair enough for me, as these are for personal use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
