Received in a few packages ..... one was a bit of a surprise. I received a wonderful box in the mail from @Ijustmissedthe50s of Barbasol Arctic Chill (NOS), Avon Spicy (FULL) a three tucks of great blades. WOW does Chris know the things I really like!! I also got in a new hat for work (I really like honeybees), and a box of 20mm synthetic knots. I ordered 10 and received 11 ..... how awesome is that?
A few days ago I received a new to me straight razor. It looks to be in good condition and I used it twice over the weekend. The shaves were very enjoyable and this is a nice addition to my den. Steve
Mail Call: Lord Chesterfield boar shave brush with metal ferrule for restoration. Vintage Scheaffer fountain pen and six tucks of blades thrown in from the same seller.............
On June 12, I ordered this ISKRA Vintage Safety Razor (made in Russia) from a guy in Bulgaria. It arrived today. I also got a bottle of Flitz Polish that I got off of ebay. It only took three days.
Just in from Germany is this Astra 501 made in Czechoslovakia from the 1980s with three Gillette Blue Blades made in France. The razor cleaned up very nicely. The blades are dated D1, first quarter of 1934.
Mail Call: Five brushes to work on, three stick humidifiers and a small scale die cast P-38 Lightning...............
