The Haul: February 2016

Recieved what has to be the worst packaging of a vintage item ever sent by mail.


On the upbeat, this arrived.

My first TTO OC razor. A Gillette Sheraton.

 

Awesome! Rob look forward to some after pics. Enjoy!

 

Outstanding!!

 

Thanks Rob @Red Rider the 1932 Gillette Tech made in Canada arrived safely.

 

Very nice!

 

Looks super, Kerry, enjoy my friend!

 

And this arrived today. Crown King Scuttle. Perfect size.

So you can guess what I'll be using for tomorrow's SOTD..

 

Thanks Don!

 

Thanks Kerry based on what you and Jeff think I went ahead and ordered some!

 

This is my second TFS soap and I plan on adding a couple of more. Good stuff.

 

Picked up an AVON pawn to go with my king, queen, and knight. Also a Barbershop brush, looks unused. And a C4 flair tip. Has some plating loss and brass showing through but overall decent. I did notice they changed the head design somewhere between this C4 and my other L3.

 

Kerry, very !!

 

Got home and this was waiting for me


The finish isn't as nice as the vendor told me it was nor in the pictures she sent me. But for $44 dollars shipped... This is fine by me. It's one of the cheapest Hoffritz slants I've seen with the milk finish

 

Moments ago i reveived 2 packages, which i eagerly waited for.


Slow Watch from Swiss. Modell "Slow Jo 09". Stainless steel body, with "cream" coloured dial and an brown calfskin armwrist from Italy. Looks wonderful to me and feels even better on my wrist. Here some more pictures...








The Logo is engraved on the back of the body.

The other package had this content:




What a smell. Even if it is not at room temperature, the scent is kicking me. Wonderful. Herbs all over. Curious on how the scent will bloom, when the soap is on room temperature. Great catch i think.

Got my Mason Pearson Pure Badger Brush through the door..These brushes have a Simpsons Knot but I wasn't expecting it to be a hard soap latherer but I was way off the Mark..Haslinger is a Hard Tallow Soap & the Pearson Brush ate it for breakfast..The handle is an Absolute Corker size wise..Makes me wonder why they make them any smaller than this..£20.00 Posted...Cant be bad at that..

Billy..

 

I love the Amici! Great soap. Have you used the matching AS? It is awesome as well. Love the scent.

 

Got these Gillette travel techs in yesterday. I love em! Will definitely be shaving with one of them this morning. One has a bit of tarnish on the handle but still looks pretty decent. Tried cleaning it but to no avail. I'll have to get some scrubbing bubbles later. I think I'll try to hunt down a case for it. Hopefully an original but I'm not picky

 

I haven't and this morning I used the Milionario. Fantastic Cologne type scent. The Amici smells wonderful too just not as strong which is fine. Thanks for the AS info.

 

Congrats! Great find!

 

Thanks!
