Hi all. Good Morning. I looked back in the posts here on this thread to check out the cool stuff everyone has been getting this CB month, and I am not disappointed I did so. Everyone has some pretty cool scores. Great stuff folks. Thanks for sharing everybody, your photos and posts always inspire me.
So, as many of you folks know, my health has been pretty bad, and is recently getting worse. But I ain’t gave up yet! I have been trying to find and do anything and everything I can to stay on my feet. As one of my favorite old phrases states- “I am disabled, not dead!” I am still trying to be as active as I can, and I plan to stay on my feet til the last day here. I will add I also have been very blessed. I am also very grateful. God has been good to me, and I have received many miracles of faith in this life. I am one of the more fortunate of my contemporaries. With all this in mind, after years of being dormant in my collecting, or even buying shave goods/razors/brushes/ whatnot, I started making a few purchases. The following are my latest scores. -
First up, these razors are hands down my most favored of all TTO razors. I honestly think these are the classiest and sexiest razors ever produced. And the gold finish makes them even classier. The 1946/47 Gillette Aristocrat.
Next up, another classic- 1909 Gillette ABC Empire Pocket Edition.
Next is a favored vintage brand of Badger Brush. An Ever Ready PBT300. I already had an Ever Ready PBT500 that was nos when I got it. This one was sold to me as new, but it was not. Not that it matters, because it is in excellent rarely used condition.
Next in line is an extremely unusual razor. In fact, I have never seen one of this manufacturer name. It is an RFB New style razor, made by MEM. And it’s condition is such that I believe it is pre-WWII German. Probably early 1930’s. I bet it was one of the first made. Here are the photos. -

and last but not least a vintage puck of Surry shave soap. (Still smells good. )
