What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Gillette made razors back then?

 

No, we used "Pain Stick".

 

I snagged four vintage brushes on ebay to fuel my first foray into brush restoration. I was only in the market for one, but at $5/brush (incl shipping) it felt like a worthwhile investment and should give me a little margin for error when I inevitably screw one up.

From left to right: Century 4, ER 500PBT, ER C40, ER100. I'm particularly intrigued by the Century. It's marked with "Set in Rubber" and "Sterilized" - a combo I haven't been able to find elsewhere with the white handle.

 

Super find, especially at that price point! Let us know how you make out. Post pics too

 

Got bit by RAD quite badly this month. One of my purchases was a Gillette Ball End Tech made in England w/case. This will be my last purchase for a while, I swear................

 

Wow! It's in beautiful condition all around, great purchase. Enjoy

 

Waiting on a bunch of original Klar Kabinnet

​

 

And your inbox is about to explode...lol

 

I've got one just like that. It is all aluminum , except the cap. You won't believe how well it shaves. Congratulations!

 

I like that is a very strong 'industrial' look to it. Almost a bit steampunk if you will.

 

Stahly arrived yesterday and I had my first shave with it this morning. First off i would like to thank one of the members here for swaying me in that direction but I can't find the post. Darkbulb the handle is in full working order. Impression ("shave nirvana") the shave is so smooth that for the first two swipes I didn't think I was shaving at all. I shaved with the vibrating feature for the entire shave and I'm sure it doesn't add closeness but it sure adds pleasure. A great beginners razor or experienced it just feels safe, so much so that I'm tempted to say that a child could shave with it but then if he had a need to do so he would belong in a circus. It gives the elusion of skillfulness. For a more aggressive shave a feather would do wonders in this razor IMHO. Love it and intend fully on using it again tomorrow. Thanks guys and thank you for being so helpful.

 

My Red Tip comes home today. Got fitted for a new rhodium suit at Razor Emporium.

 

Wow. With that black handle it looks like a 74 Super Speed on steroids.

 

I'm sure the folks over on the haul thread would love to hear about new gear. it's sorta been our system; waiting to arrive on items you've ordered and are excited to show us/ haul for new items in your hand and first impressions.
great score on the Stahly, you won't be disappointed with it. do you have another handle to put the Stahly head on?

 

How's the shave soap coming?

 

I do, I'm going to try it on my razorock bazooka fat handle as the head on that razor is useless anyway. I think it should work beautifully.
