Wednesday UPS delivery is from The Razor Company. Today I got Stirling West Indies Lime shave soap & splash as well as the TRC TTO safety razor.
Two Stoylins arrived today(I didn't see a tracking plan, but I figured they'd be here eventually): Liquid Bodywash(Ozark Mtn). Shavesoap(Iceberg Island).
Well it's winter down here, but nothing compared to the northern latitudes Part of a parcel of vintage blades knocking about out there... Interesting about the Made in Australia for the Japanes market Any idea about the vintage of these? Can't find any info other than there were many true or fake Gillettes made in the far East for those markets Never knew blades were made in Oz, not that I know that much anyway
Part of a small lot, effectively a freebie Gillette Canadian, no dates, numbers/other ID VERY well used almost no knurling left on the handle, looks like it his most-used razor! Thread is good. Might clean this up and see how she goes. Is this an Old Type? 54 grams.
Part of the same job lot, deceased gent early 1970s Not my thing, one poor, the other may be salvagable....................? ...but they were part of the job lot. I don't want these

Proraso Shaving Foan(Rinfrescante)arrived today. At this time I am pleased to announce that Stoylin and Proraso Rinfrescante will be feature summer products for me.That is,not ALL the time with those(can't forget Osage Rub), but most of the time.
New toy...part of the last weeks haul Yes, I know I am weak! Hardly been used, just missing the yellow leaflet and the blade bank. The hunt is on! But, it was just up the road, deceased grandfathers estate, what else could I do? (shrug)
wife got home from middle earth.. shave bowl minus insert ..poosibly? on the way from an antique shop in Saskatoon.. after a polish..
Looks nice polished, but I did like the green/blue patina Time to bring out the wine, maybe? https://mooneepondsantiques.com.au/products/vintage-wine-bottle-coaster
