    Neat find:

    At Big Lots (maybe $ Tree too) is a colored foam fingernail buffer, a rectangle about 7" long with four progressively finer grits. Went thru all four sides to put a very good polish on an old adjustable of mine. Well worth keeping around to polish nickel, silver, plastics, etc, and costs a whole buck.

    I finally got a PAL Injectomatic. Excited and surprised. This one still has the dummy blade loaded.

    Nice razor Andrew, I have the same model and mine was like new also with the red blank in the razor. I started out with the Schick blade and later put in the Personna SS PTFE injector blade and got better results for what ever reason. Both good blades but the Personna is a little sharper and might be better in the milder Pal injecto-matic.

    Thanks! I got lucky with this one. I didn't see the loaded blank or the instructions from the seller's pictures. Surprise for me!

    Stopped in Dollar Tree after the dentist this morning. Odd that there's A LOT more stuff in the shaving and soap aisle. Like, bins and shelves packed like I've never seen before. Not much of it is anything they didn't already carry but some of it is (still very little that's impressive or gotta-have). I wonder if someone upstair at $ Tree is getting chills about possible future relations with CHYnah so they're trying to unload stock before more people's tastes start to sour.

    Did pick up a bar of Yardley black charcoal soap. Said made in the U.S.

    Not uranium or vaseline glass? Doesn't look like it but can't tell for sure.

    No, it is etched in the bottom with 2017 and company's name. It's not an antique, but I like the color, wanted a water carafe, and it was worth much more than $3.

    :D

    I know Blenko is an amazing glass company, with glassware that is heritage ware ..... meant to be passed on.
