Most wanted, hardest to get

Everything in Jeff's house.

 

Chronik Straight Razor- I have been told that the fuss about this razor is merely hype (not my words) but I still want to try one, if only I had the chance.

Kavall Straight Razor- Beautiful, hand forged damascus style straight. There is a picture buried somewhere in the archives of SRP. Haven't seen another one come up since I saw pictures of the first

Eloi Straight Razor- Once again, this one could have been a lot of hype from the seller but it sure was a beautiful razor. The first (and so far only) time I used a sniping service and it didn't ******* work:angry019

Larry Harley Straight razor- One of the most jaw droppingly gorgeous objects I have ever seen. 100% Wootz steel (including the handle) There's a pic in Kelly's (I think) gallery on SRP. I don't think he's ever made a straight for sale but I'll be seeing if I can get one made for my birthday (September 4th btw.)

Houbigant Fougere Royale Shaving Soap- I love vintage shaving soaps and this seems to be one of the rarest, most desirable types.

More Yardley shaving soap- I actually have one bowl but I want more, more, more:signs136

That's off the top of my head, but there's probably a lot more if I think about it.

Alex

Russian Gillette

I want to get some "Russian" Gillette Double-Edge Blades. I think they are "my blade"........but I only have four left :angry017

Rene (who I got my packs from), tells me they are no longer made :sad024 :sad023

 

I'll be on the lookout Brah.

 

I have never even seen one.

 

I don't think they are the same thing, bro. Regardless, I don't have an Eckerd, and the Walgreen's here that used to stock the Gillette DE's don't carry them anymore

Here's the Russians:



Maybe Rene will chime in here and help clarify this.

 

I kind of want to try one now.

 

Interesting. :think002

 

Only one way to find out.

Bobby, buy them and send them to Joe.

Joe, let us know.

Then........................GROUP BUY!

 

Well, that would be:

- a dubl duck straight
- a TI vintage blade straight (not hard to get but pricey)
- Yardley SS
- dapper dan pomade ( )
- a Gillette Old Standard from the first year of production
- Figaro SS (discontinued )
- and, finally, a non-shave related item: a gal for me

 

Coates. I was lucky enough to get a sample from someone but it was very dried out

I'd like to try Mitchell's soap too. Not necessarily hard to get online, but I'm spoiled being able to find pretty much everything else I want locally here in Austin

 

We have packs and packs of Gillettes made in Russia, but again, they don't look anything like that. They look like the Swede cardboard packaging but the colour is red instead of blue. And they come in 10s, not 5s.

As for me, Floid.
