    I have a couple of razors awaiting this treatment which hopefully
    will result in something akin to this Red Imp's tang in the pic below.

    Hope my post is right here...in August...because i ordered these things in July (as i wrote). This month is my "No buy August" and i bought nothing the last 3 days. And today too, so 4 days. I´m a bit proud. ;) Here is my newest addition:

    Tcheon Fung Sing Sandalwood (Blue Tin), Tcheon Fung Sing Lemon (Yello Tin), Tcheon Fung Sing Neroli Mediterrano (Glas Tin),Tcheon Fung Sing Tabacco Verde, Barbiere die Figaro Exclusivo (Orange scented), Tcheon Fung Sing Italian Fern Anniversary Edition and last one the Noxzema Blue shaving foam, which should be colder than the white version. Curious about the lather and the scents of Tcheon Fung Sing...heared a lot positive things about these soaps.

    Now Mark, surely those lovely blue bottles are scintillating in and of themselves to satisfy the most curious of wet-shavers!

    Although they do sort of remind me of this classic...

    found a schick tto at an antique store 20140806_162437.jpg
    any clues in how old it is?

    The antique store? No idea.
    The Schick Kronas were made, as best as I can find out, from the mid-60s to mid-70s. Some have stated 1959 as a start date of production, but I lean towards the mid to late 60s.
    It's harder to date Schicks versus vintage Gilletttes. They just play harder to get.....;):D

    Today, I placed an order for some Sterling soap (2 pucks: 'Cool' & 'Glacial Obsidian') and a bottle of 'Sharp Dressed Man' AS splash.
    I need more soaps as much as I need another hole in my head—but I had a 25% off coupon that was burning a hole in my cyber pocket. ;)

    'No Buy July' has certainly given way to 'Buy or Bust' August! :D
