    Bid on this lot and will resell some stuff I didn't want or need. Wanted the blades, The Enders Green Speed Shaver and the MMOC. Last pic is a separate purchase of a NOS Williams Boar Shave Brush for my Williams Shaves. Now I just need the Williams Razor..........

    My rotbart case finally arrived. It took over a month to get here, but its the customs fault for keep it a month in chicago. It’s Smaller, but better condition than i thought. My razor fits, but barely.

    WOW, good find Tom. There were not many of those made. Gillette was testing different configurations of their adjustable's and you got one of the rarest and neatest looking bottom dial ones IMO.

    I do, this one appeared to be in better condition, slightly it turns out. It is a different variant though.

    Picked up this Gillette injector razor today at a local flea market for $2.

    Brought to market in 1973 officially as the Gillette Trac II Twin Injector, it was rebranded in 1975 as the Gillette Twinjector. It was sold with, and used, double injector blades, one set back and glued on top of another, but they work perfectly fine with the common and still in production single injector blades. One can still find NOS Twinjector blades on eBay but they are expensive.

    This razor cleaned up nice but didn't look as if it were used much before. Being a huge fan of injector razors, I'm looking forward to having it in my shaving hardware rotation once again.

    Oh man. I absolutely love the vintage Schick Krona blades. IMHO, one of the best blades ever made. I've got two tucks of the Krona DE blades left and my last Krona injector blade is currently loaded in one of my Schick Lady Eversharp razors. Definitely been taking my time using it up.

    Just arrived. Not bad. The brushes are ok, im looking forward to cleaning up the travel brush. The boar knot seems unused.
    The shaving dish is small. Alot smaller than i thought it would be. I was thinking MWF size but nope about 1/3 the volume. It would be good to use will croaps or creams i would like to have out seasonally and keep the rest in a cupboard.

    The gem junior needs some cleaning and came with one blade but a pack of other types of blades.
    Can someone identify these and what looks like a sharpening handle?

    Finally received my Yaki Excalibur in the mail, the alignment seems good so tomorrow will have to give it a whirl. Mail service is slow lately and took longer than normally would.

    Picked up this Schick 500 recently for $25 delivered. I'm a bit of a spendthrift and would have liked to have gotten it for less but they seem to be somewhat of a rare bird so I grabbed it.
