The Haul: April 6th - April 12th, 2009

Jeff is da Master Poulin dont even go there...what he forgets about shaving cream you will never even dream up ))

Good tip Jeff reminds me to get all the Paki creams out you send me 2y ago I have fond memories of Oxford.

 

Rene, I am thinking Oxford may be slightly BOOford! Still, I prefer Godrej.

 

Pics to follow tomorrow evening, but I wanted to get it in before the end of the night....

From a family friend who found it at an estate sale and picked it up for me....a wonderful gift.

As best I can tell, a 1906 Gillette Old Type single ring. Serial# M582467, pat date Nov. 15.04. It's in a wood case with a carved Gillette diamond & arrow set inside the lid, and also a matching blade case with 3 of the green wrapped Gillette blades...A bit rough around the edges, but hopefully she'll clean up nice...

Quick question - how do I know if it's the 100 or 102 head? According to that one Gillette dating page, it appears that 1906 was the year the head was switched....it also notes a pat date of Jun 06, so would that probably be the change and my razor has the older head?

 

Not yet, hopefully tomorrow.

 

Not a "new" purchase, but one I got in a batch a couple of months ago and finally cleaned up. (since everyone else is comparing Tuckaways)



and a detail shot of the case engraving:

 

Great News Klaus !!!!

 

A little bit late, but here are the pics.....She really did clean up nicely

That is very cool!

Nice! The knurling on that thing is intense, I bet it feels great in the hand!

 

Is that a Big Fellow?

 

Yeah, it is. At first I thought it was a single ring, but I was mistaken. Sure feels great in the hand, too!

 

A nice little Haul!

I received 5 Florena tubes today!
