What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Picked up a couple of razors:

1) A "Concord" Mach3 handle made in Italy.


2) I was "tasked" with finding a good looking, working Stahly for under $30 and this one was had for $25 and is described as 'near mint and fully functioning"

 

Waiting on shave soap, new razor, and last but not least, a fairly compact shave brush

 

I picked up a straight razor, along with a Ronson Mastercase lighter off the GoodWill site.
Both for a little over $23. The Ronson is going to a friend who collected vintage lighters while the razor goes into the restoration queue.
The razor will require some TLC as there is some intruding rust buildup on the blade and pivot point. Restoring blades with gold wash is time-consuming so I'll need to set aside some time for that restore.



The history behind the razor maker, Daniel Peres, is fairly interesting. The company was the first known razor maker in Solingen, founded in Solingen in 1792. The company produced scissors, pocket knives and razors around 1803, ceasing production in 1819, but contined as a trading company. The grandchildren of the founder started producing straight razors again in the late 1800s, until the mid-1920s. The D. Peres company still exists.

 

Waiting on a bunch of samples from TSD shop. Was out for delivery but of course the USPS messed up and rerouted it to the next city for some reason Also have some captains bay rum and a lather bowl coming today, those are UPS, so I'm sure I'll get that at least.

 

Let me know how you like the maggard, thinking of getting the MR6 myself.

 

I'm waiting for two Clubman hair gels, just ordered today. I'm on their mailing list, which is how I got the info on the sale on hair products, which lasts until 10-25.

 

Just purchased this bad boy.

 

Picked up a, to me, rather unusual Gillette razor and box.
It appears to be a 1920's traveler but not 100% sure.
Since I was the only bidder at 10 bucks I guess it's also not very desirable

​

 

Very nice!

 

I'm like you, Fred, but when I saw the Clubman hair product sale e-mail, I felt, now was the time to do something about improving my hair "finish".

 

I went searching for Puig Agua Lavanda and ended up ordering it and and some shipping buddies.
Puig Agua Lavanda
Puig Agua Brava
Grey Flannel
Cuba Gold
Royal Copenhagen

I feel Ive rounded out my cheap cologne supply now quite nicely

 

Waiting on:

2 bottles of hand wash
11 razors/razor handles
4 brushes
9 razor cartridges
1 soap
1 mug

 

Just purchased a 1941 Gillette Ranger on another forum.

 

One more Old Spice for my collection...

 

Nice.

 

Royal Copenhagen brings back memories.

 

Just how "new" is this? Looks great!

 

I am not an expert, but the bottle appears to be from the 70's.(similar to my Lime AS)
There are more knowledgeable Old Spice users on this forum than I; perhaps they will chime in. I am not too thrilled with the pump cap, so I am going to switch it out with another OS bottle.

 

It's just that I don't recall seeing an Old Spice "Fresh Scent" that is green. 70's is OK. I'll have to give this one a "sniff" though I'm sure it smells great.

 

I remember trying Grey Flannel, but I think I was too young(well, not "teen-age" young). It was a gift from my first brother-in-law.
