What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I know, would''ve said the same myself. I already have a Segal, but I'm in the process of trying to get cases for my loose razors.

 

Finally scored the remaining Valobra (discontinued) soaps I wanted. NOS and less than they cost when new.

 

Wow!!!! Great catch.

 

Thanks. Funny thing...I just scored a new puck of the Fougère, so I now have all 4 of their former offerings.

 

Here’s a list of vintage aftershaves I recently bought from eBay this week that I’m waiting on now.
Hai Karate Oriental Spice aftershave and cologne
Hai Karate Oriental Lime
Jovan Musk Oil For Men
Stetson
Skin Bracer in the hand decanter

 

All great Aftershaves.

ATT Calypso S1 Slant arrived yesterday. Will try it out tomorrow.

​

 

I ordered a bottle of Lustray Spice AS. Will be fun to see how it smells.

 

very cool Jim..

 

Thanks Gary

 

Picked up a 1936 - 1938 1st gen open comb British Aristocrat made for the French market.


It has the original center bar design and is silver plated.

 

That's awesome. I was 1 of the 4 who had that in my shopping cart. I already have one or it would be headed my way. Congrats! They're great shavers.

I have a later version one not the earlier ones so that is partially why I bought it. The price I thought even with shipping was decent considering what these sets can go for.

Might as well pimp my latest treatise.

 

I recognize your username as someone who's provided information on the British Aristocrats. I just bought my first Brit last month and I'm hooked. I'll get one of each generation for sure. So far I have a 1st and 3rd in excellent condition. Letting my finances recover and will be looking for a 2nd Gen. The 4th gen are easier to find and probably the least desirable, but needed to have a complete set.

Again, congratulations! Thanks for removing the tempation.

I never had a third gen one so I can't comment. The 4th gens are mild. I've had one before and sold it off. The 2nd gen at least mine is which I repaired shaves the same as the 1st gen open comb I have. I understand the finance thing but if you do it right you can finance this hobby without spending any house money to do it after the initial outlay or 7 when you first get into the hobby and don't know the ropes yet. I try not to buy razors anymore except ones I can flip to increase the hobby money pile or I already have enough in the hobby money pile to buy it if it is something I want to use. I also now that I know the hobby ropes try not to buy razors I don't think I can't get out of them at least what I have in them later on. Doesn't always work that way but over enough purchases you can average it out to be net ahead if you don't make too many mistakes.

 

I saw this mismatched set and looked at @mr-razor's site and I think the razor is a Featherweight Tech in a Gem case. The seller took my offer, so I guess I'll find out when I get it................

 

cool score Jim.i am sure you will find the case useful as well..

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Not my brush/nor picture, but you get the idea.
(I guess you were right, Gary)

 

very cool Joseph..nice brush..
