I can't believe I found these locally!!! Well......couple hours drive. Picures do not do the Executive justice and you don't see either set everyday! I'm a happy camper! 1949 Executive in case with all three dispensers.( One never opened ) 1920's Gillette Big Boy New De Luxe
First Fat Boy E2 needs a good cleaning. Once I have it clean I will post more pics. The original pick made it look good there was stuff growing out of it when I got it. Some scrubbing bubbles and dish soap it almost looks like new.
Got sent out shopping and just happened to find a sale at the local drug store... There were a few other shave creams and after shave balm, but nothing I felt I needed to try so I just picked up a bowl of Proraso white.
It's original from Mühle. The model is named "Jet". I got mine today too and will post some pics soon. It's limited to 500 pieces worldwide and sorry,but it's already sold out.
Sorry to hurt your feelings Jeff,,but here are my pictures: It´s a real beauty. The handle is very grippy,The handle is coated with "rubber". Or a texture like rubber. I love the razor. Sunday will be the first shave. Seems to be very similar to the Edwin Jadder DE89 and the Mühle R89.Some people told me,that this modell shaves better than the the R89...i will ask Mühle if they have made any changes on the head. Seems to be a bit more thoroughly.
Stopped by a local flea market today, and found some things to add to the collection. First pic Ever Ready brush, 2 Gillette razors (finally found a U S Army Khaki set), 2 Gem SE razors, and some blades. The Gem blades are stamped "Duridium," haven't tried those before, nor have I tried any of the Taylor-Made DE blades either. Second pic A Kriss Kriss stropper, with box and all (I think) the original literature.
Happy's Flea Market in Roanoke, Virginia; don't miss it if you ever pass through Roanoke. It's both an indoor and outdoor flea market; I found today's haul at an inside vendor that "specializes" in antiques.
Got some things in the mail yesterday and today but SWMBO snatched them away to get wrapped for Christmas before I could take pictures. Today's package: Old Spice Musk AS lotion (India) (I was allowed a quick sniff of this since I'd never smelled it before; very nice) Tcheon Fung Sing Tabacco Verde Intenso Drago shave soap D R Harris Windsor deodorant stick Yesterday's package: D R Harris Windsor shave cream Savon Du Midi Vetyver shave soap TOBS St. James shave cream Chrome brush stand There were some blades thrown in there that were on sale that I got to keep but everything else had to go bye bye till Santa comes
Today I picked these up! A 1946 milord (missing endcaps), and an aluminum rocket HD. Friday I picked my Jinhao 159 fountain pen up from the post office. It's a fatty and I'm excited to use it!
