Hard to top those...... Off to a good month with a Birth Year Ball End Tech (or as close as I can come). It should clean up nicely.
I finished work really early, so took my time on the way home. I was in Alabama about a 2 or 3 hour drive from the house. I went to about 10 or so yard sales, antique shops and junk stores. Anyway...This is what I was able to find. Milk glass Old Spice Talc, Cologne, and After Shave and a '59 Fatboy in the case. OH....And Ever Ready handle. And....after a little cleaning.
LOL...I thought that when I say the tag the store. But figured it was $5.00 so I offered $4.00 for it.

My new Chosera Plus the hammer and anvil I just picked up. Used the Chosera to set a bevel on the Boker, and the new tools to tighten up the pivot pin.
Just hauled in a brand new 40th anniversary Crabtree & Evelyn Shaving Mug. Picture to follow when I get home.
Here's a like to a thread I started yesterday showing off my FIRST flea market finds I just added photos of all the items cleaned.

Today's haul. A bottle of Krampert's Frostbite. This stuff is COLD! I think all menthol addicts should have a bottle of this. I didn't even shave today, but it froze my face when I tried some out. Two Shake Sharps I'm borrowing from PlanOfMan as part of the Shake Sharp tour. One is bakelite, the other is all metal. I will let you guys know how all this stuff works out!
My favorite Menthol Cream is the Gillette Menthol from Europe. France I think. Heck it's my favorite cream period. I got my last tube from Bullgoose and I've been wanting to stock up because it is no longer being made. I orders 2 and was going to get one of the Regular and one of the Sensitive just so I can try them all at least once. Well they had everything but the Regular so I asked Phil in the comment section of my order about it. He replied in an email that once it is gone he will no longer be able to get it. I understood. Then when my order comes, Phil the fine Gentleman Merchant that he is sends me a free tube! What a guy. I buy all my stuff from him if he has it, his shipping is insane fast and I always feel like i get a fair deal after my transactions are done. Heartily recommend Bullgoose! I also got my first bullet point MM and finished my trifecta of OS mugs to boot! What a good day shaving wise. New gear, free gear and a two day growth to mow down with my new razor!
Uncle Scott, Phil is a great guy! That reminds me... I need to place an order for some more Palmolive Menthol from him.
