The Haul: March 2020

Antique store pick up- Ever ready horse hair. Very soft tips.

That's what I was thinking. I got confused on the writing on the bottom, thinking it was a date. Rather, I guess it's a code, maybe?

 

Model number.

Nice Tom!

I like to use a new Feather in mine, two great razors!!


Not for the faint of heart....

200 Gem Stainless PTFE blades from Connaught...

 

Nice haul!

That's an Ever Ready 200T, it has a boar knot. They are sometimes called a Tuxedo due to their shape similar to a bow tie. They are beautiful when restored and even better when weighted.

One of my favorite Ever Ready's.

 

100 blue box gillette platinums..

 

Thank you for the suggestion. I’m anxious to give it a go.

I found it to give excellent shaves and dependent on the blade ..... its efficiency.

 

Received this 1947 cased Aristocrat today. The razor will replace one I have that's missing it's end caps. And the case will be re-finished for another razor...............

 

cool score Jim..these aristocrats seem very abundant..

 

1930 NEW Belmont De Luxe

The lot of four Lunds arrived yesterday from a clean up and fine honing by @gssixgun. Here’s a first look:


Pretty sweet, right?

Well they are but... they are not full size. Here’s a comparison to my regular sized Lund of the same shape:





Still nice razors but not what I thought I had bargained for - caveat emptor.

 

Couldn't use it. I can't see inside with my sunglasses on. That's a fine set-up.

 

Maybe the cold weather is having a adverse .........Na that can't be it.

 

It's not easy finding a Criterion case, so I just re-finished this case for mine. I changed the outside color to black and re-lined it in Criterion colors. Seemed easier than finding one by itself...........
