The Haul: April 2015

Agreed!

 

That is soooooo cool!

I know a woman who makes custom and free hand ceramic items.
I'm going to send these pics to her and ask if should could reproduce them.

 

Gillette Razor Blades No Honing No Stropping from the Teens/Twenties. I got an unopened puc. This is what's inside.

 

The star trek one??

 

The Personna injector is commonly referred to as 'the Star Trek razor'

Picked up a Gillette Red and Black New set. Looking forward to trying this out. I understand that it is a little more aggressive than my New LC.

 

is it a short comb?

 

It's a LC 15mm head.

 

I have never understood the difference, can you explain?

 

I'm not sure I understand but I think there were 2 models of heads, 15mm and 17mm with the 17mm being heavier. Maybe one of the experts can chime in.

The top one is a short comb, and it shaves a little rougher for me than the long comb.

 

1st post shows the difference.

Thanks for pointing out the thread.

 

It will be a long wait, it is near the bottom of the list of all the razors I am wanting to try. Sorry.

 

my news are all common.
thanks for the explanations.

 

I learned a lot too.

 

I had a good day at the antiques fair.

 

That's quite the haul!
Love the Colgate shave stick container it looks like it's in great shape!
It looks like it's a pre-Handy Grip version which would date it to about 1905-1917 if I'm right.

 

That. Is. AWESOME!
