Well, I went out today looking for a vintage straight razor at a reasonable price at a nearby antique shop. Well, look what I came back with! The two Gems might not ever been used. The micromatic is an open comb and the 1912 has the ornate handle both have unused original Gem blades plus the instructions. The Gillette Tech looked too nice to pass up. Oh yes, I picked up a straight razor too. It has Soligen stamped on it along with another name, Garantie. I have not cleaned anything yet, but I'll do that tomorrow. I spent more than I planned, but I feel it was $50 well spent.
Shipments from Slovenia and Spain arrived Friday, carrying a Fine Fresh Vetiver AS and a Floïd Black in one, SV Tundra Artica soap and balm in the other. Have tried three of them and found them to be to my liking
The Mailman was good to me today. I got my 75 Gillette "Spoilers" and some RazoRock Tuscan Oud Soap & AS
Having been a wood worker for many decades, I'm curious whenever Oud is mentioned. Can you describe the scent of the soap and AS?
