What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Did you buy his second lot of them as well?
I agree that these are real nice and you basically never see them come up in this condition. I went back and forth on them but since I already have a bunch non-NOS ones that are honed I passed
Great score and happy to see they went to you.

 

No ...I passed on the second lot...The ones last week went for a bit more so it worked out for the better...I think I will start to clear out some of my SEs and get into honing these and my Two Swedish Straight's...Keep all my injectors of course...MMmm...Then again maybe I just keep them all...

Do you have a stropping handle?

 

Yes....I've got one somewhere....
Billy..

 

Picked up an ERN Crown and Sword 6/8 Straight. The seller was local (0nly 1400kms away) so should have it late next week

 

Bought a vintage NIB, English Leather shaving soap.
I read some positive reviews online and according to the seller it still has a great scent to it.

 

A great example of 'it never hurts to try': I made an offer below 50% of the BIN price and the seller kindly agreed...and, as a result of that I have my second silverplated shaving mug by Pairpoint on its way to me - and personally I think this one looks even better.

I need to do some research on this model but I think it might be close to 1902 when my other one was made

The soon to be arriving one:

 

SWEET!!

Never seen on of those before and looks like something I need in my den, yeah like I need another with 17 already taking up space, but this one is really nice looking and going to have to look this baby up. Great score

 

Thanks,
Personally I think the old silver plated shaving mugs will be the 'next big thing'. Some of them are absolutely gorgeous, over a 100 years old - and can often be had for $20-50 a piece.

 

Hm, the combination of it being a lazy Sunday and staying in bed/on couch today due to a bad foot is slowly putting me in the poor house...
Ended up winning 0ne more auction but that's it for today!
(Well, that and the fact that there isn't anything ending for a few days that I'm interested in.....).

Anywho.... won these three Gillette Atra handles that I think are rather neat.
The seller was open about that they were mechanically very sound but need a good cleaning - something I have no problem with.

That was made for " Buck Fast" the Scottish National Drink...Look it up ...It makes your hairs stand on end ...Best Pre - Shave Prep on the Planet Sir...
Buckfast made from Girders....

Innit just for Neds?

 

OOoow..Yeah...Sophisticated Neds...

Gem micromatic (Clog pruf) and a gem micromatic (Gold plate and bullet tip)

 

Since I refuse to pay the outrageous prices on the bay for a Rubberset 400, I decided that I'd get the SwitchBack 400

 

I have a 22 mm synthetic knot coming from Whipped Dog, a gift from @Dzia Dzia .

 

I think you will like it. Like the cool option to switch between two top caps.

I ended up pulling the knot on the Suave cap as it is similar to the Stirling synthetic in density and backbone and I dropping a 25mm HMB.

 

Well, maybe the prices are starting to come down?
This one just sold for $69

 

I like it. Now how much more money to get it right? I'll keep looking for one at that price range, thanks for the heads up.

 

I even saw one selling for $48 (not ebay) a week ago. So maybe it's a trend
