What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I've been using MWF and Tabac the last few months, decided to try something new.

 

I found my first Silvertip brush on a BST yesterday. A Rooney 3/1 22mm silvertip. Anxious to get it.

 

UK Ever-Ready 1909. These hardly ever show up. Eating gruel this month.

 

Very cool... I've never seen one of those.

top plate looks like a new...

 

very cool..

 

le pere lucien oud/santal and lpl apricot in the big tins...

 

The whole set seems based on Gillette designs.

 

Congrats man!!! That is absolutely gorgeous. I imagine you had to have paid over $100 for that beauty. My holy grail razor for which I don't have the funds to justify but I can always just dream by looking at yours. Very sweet. Looks to be in amazing condition. I hope you'll shave with it and not just use it for display purposes. Many happy shaves with that baby.

 

i agree.they look nice..

 

But more "industrial", somehow...

 

This.
And this.

I agree. The satin finish makes it look that way. I like it but it bugs me that I don’t have a handle to match them. I hate brushed/satin and shiny mixed together.

 

you need to grab one of these:

 

Which bulldog is that? I have one but it has a slight polish to it.

 

Its the Ikon Matte Bulldog of course.

I seem to be having an unusual week for winning auctions with low bids.

First was the vintage United Airlines toiletry kit which I bid on for the Schick Injector and vintage blades:


Next, was a couple of parts lots:


I mostly wanted the second one for the New SC baseplate as the one I have is missing an inner tooth.

Lastly, there was the one I had no thoughts of actually winning. For an opening bid of $9.99 + $3.00 shipping, I won this:

A Schick B1 with the leather case (though it appears that the case has seen better days). What shocks me is that I'm paying less for this one than for my other silver B1 (and you all told me that that was a bargain).

 

It might have been a tad over $100.00... I shave with all my pups! Otherwise I'm just collecting expensive paperweights,,,

 

On the way from Wild West Brushworks, handle only:

 

Coming soon in the mail 250 blades of vintage Gillette Super Stainless (spoiler)

(16) packs of 15 blades each and (1) pack of 10 blades
