That a very nice Canadian Albright Rubberset; really looks great. I'm sure @bladeshark will like it.

Yes, that is a beautiful vintage Canadian Rubberset brush! It has an unique design and would make an excellent restoration project.

I went to your website after getting it to find the #, and couldn't find one exactly like it. It is much greener that the picture would indicate.

Yeah, I don't see as many Canadian Rubbersets as most stay in-country. I took a look at the 1946 catalog on the site and I don't see this model. It would be really hard to guess it's age without reference unfortunately.

Do you plan on restoring it?

Yes, I will be restoring it. I usually make my own wooden handles, but this will be my first restoration. I've got a few knots kicking around that will fit it, I believe.
And yes, it did stay 'in country'- I got it in Southeastern British Columbia.

Hey guys,

haven't been around much lately ... but today I've got to show you some nice additions to my den. Both razors arrived this morning

My wife got me this one for my birthday:









And this one I gave to myself

just arrived, gillette new lc. all plating intact, wrong case i think,

Wow killer scores you have there! My personal favorite DE is the Gillette New LC, I hope you enjoy yours!

Looks like a Gillette Red & Black set, does the box say something else? Everything looks legit to me, a NOS set! Congratulations!

Achim's site shows that case as a Federal set:

which would have come with a New LC.

Does your razor have the patent info on the bottom of the baseplate? If not, I'd say its just a "wrong" handle. If so, then it may be a later razor in the case.

Or it could all be some transitional variant and be correct.

Gillette were notorious for swapping parts and handles; their Goodwills and Milords are great examples of that. In any case that a great razor!

Do Dollar Tree purchases count in this thread?

Yes sir

Sure, I've seen many non-shave related products in The Haul.

And speaking of non-shave related items. A freebie arrived today from Black & Mild, a nice, hefty butane lighter that'll be handy for my cigars and pipes. Even got my initials etched into it.

But I bought shave-related products. I wouldn't list non-shave related stuff from DT in here,.

Ok, does this count? A birthday present to myself.

Well then...here it is:

1 set of TRIPLE-blade razors(5)-"Pour Hommes"
1 set of 6-blade razors-"Men's Superior DisposeABLE razors".

(don't worry, @wristwatchb , I'm still going to try to solve the Gillette Twin issue).

The 6-bladers resemble the Dorco Pace-6 that I now have, but the Dorco looks nicer.

I didn't know they had a revision. It looks nice. I hope it works well for you.

Today I received a package from PAA. I picked up the Boomtown Bay Rum Shampoo, Deodorant, Shave Soap, Aftershave, and Star Jelly. I also picked up the PAA Banana Cube and the L1 injector, but they accidentally forgot to include the razor. Doug & Fran are on it and will send out the razor ASAP. Mistakes happen so all you can ask that they get fixed and PAA's customer service has been great. I also received their free multi-tool with the order which looks nice. I can't wait to try out the Boomtown set tomorrow!
