    Thank you for your impressions! I put some hot water on the puck for a few minutes and that seems to help. I have not tried any of their soap since they were HTGAM, so I don't know if that advice would help or not.

    Two Elgin razors with six blades, boxes and original instructions. $40 was a very fair price to me for that lot.

    Also waiting on my first ever Stahly :)

    The box is a bit messed up but the razor itself looks like it would clean up nicely

    So, you did the live auction. I've never done one of those. Do you know what the shipping will be when bidding?

    Let me know how you like it and a brief review please. Don't have any menthol soaps and have been wanting to try some and that one always gets 2 thumbs up! Thanks.

    I did indeed. Shipping for both items was a combined cost of $12

    I would have been bidding against you if I didn't have self-control

    I just got this last night from a French EBay seller.....The C.V. Heljestrand company of Eskilstuna, Sweden made single-edge wedge blade razor sets for Kindal and this is one of them.....I have seen these many a time on Flea-Bay, but they have always been way out my price range as they tend to go for Crazy Money.....[​IMG]

    I got this for £55.00 posted.....I think that's a fair dent in the wallet for such a lovely piece as this.....As usual there were 3 or 4 buyer/seller types mooching around, but that's fine as they don't push things up too far as they want to make a profit.....Me, I just want a Piece of History to have some fun with and to provide them with a loving home.....

    Ordered on the 9th. It took 2 days to move from Arlington to Coppell, TX (21 miles). It left Coppell, TX, today, expected date of delivery. I don't think it will make the 1000 mile trip and be delivered on time.

    A pair of Wiss inlaid 1DS's. One vintage and one modern.

    I ordered two for the workplace at my last job, as the guys in the shop were cutting aluminum honeycomb and were going through scissors like crazy. (Edit: not the Wiss shears though. They just resharpened those once a year and kept on working) I always meant to order some for myself one day. That day has come. :)

    I had Wiss shears around my whole life, tools used by my Grandfather, so when I went looking for better scissors than the generic Fiskars, I thought of Wiss. Always meant to pick up a pair or two for myself, and ended up scoring these on the bay for about $14 each, after factoring in shipping. New ones sell for about $25 each, so not a bad deal. The vintage ones were made in the U.S.A., and the modern ones are made in Italy. Both are good.

    Edit: Also waiting on this, or rather, three tubes of this. Hope I like it.

    I've always had a fondness for toothpastes that come in metal tubes, and stuff that looks vintage. This toothpaste has been in production since 1898!

    Just picked up a stick of Irisch Moos and another IBLE Boar brush which I plan to pull the knot out of.

    Scored these Wiss electricians shears for $1.68 on the bay. My dad uses his to trim his beard, and I think I'll do the same if I let my goatee grow out.

    Also scored a black beauty on the bay. Been wanting to try one out for a while.

    I paid a bit more than I planned to. I was going to combine shipping with another razor, but was outbid on that one. :(
