    Picked this up because of the condition, and I've never seen this lipstick tube badger brush thingy before. Too cool.
    Can anyone tell me what goes in the long tube in front? Tooth brush?
    Also there's a powder in one vial and I'm guessing a bit of aftershave in the other. What's the powder?
    I've googled a few times surprisingly unsuccessfully. Help? [​IMG][​IMG]

    It does look really cool. I don’t see an actual razor in the kit. Is the tube supposed to hold a straight edge?

    Edit: never mind. I see the razor now. Stupid phone and bifocals.

    Razor: Gillette slim adjustable-MFG 1962,H1, great adjustable razor, easy to use and was a favorite for many folks for decades.
    Blade: Gillette Astra SP(1) excellent blade, Sharp & smooth with good longevity. My standard for testing other blades and razors.
    Soap: Razorock Don Marco - nice Citrus scent, with excellent lather qualities, nice scent to have near the end of winter months.
    Brush: Yaqi Lucky dice 26 mm- Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrub + excellent lather painter.(nice brush for big hands)
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Proraso Green with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]excellent shave with my Gillette slim + a Gillette Astra blade.

    Thanks a million Gary. I’m really discovering this razor again after five years of it being in my collection.
