The Haul: December 2016

Boy that is one beautiful set. It almost makes me want to go straight. But alas. A guy must know his limitations.

 

In the mail today, the following items........
-Schick Type J Razor
-Schick Type G Razor with dark blue handle and textured head
-Enders Razor
-Durham Duplex (missing top cap)
-Valet Autostrop Head
-German made travel razor - same head on a Frankenrazor from a PIF by @SHAVEWIZARD420 Also, considering it's small size, the handle is on the heavy side.
-Four packs of DE Surgical Steel blades made by Taylor Made Blade Co., Newark NJ

I will be posting a thread as I have a some questions about a couple of these items. It was a good purchase as I was only interested in the Schick and Enders razors and the price was very good.



Decided to put this DE89 style head on the German travel razor, looks a lot better. And I did use a similar razor head, but it was a bit rough, so this should be fine.

 

I was out doing some last-minute shopping and popped into a newly-opened one dollar zone! just to see what shaving-related items they might have. Needless to say, I was somewhat surprised to find this:

A Junjie razor complete with a genuine (I assume) Tian Fu-brand blade.

From the looks of it, this one is based on the later Tech design:

instead of using a 3-hole design like some other Chinese razors that I've seen.

After the holidays, I'll try and work up the courage to shave with it. Worst case, it was probably worth the $1.00 for the handle which seems to have decent heft.

FWIW, I tried using the Google Translate iOS app on the blade wrapper. Apparently, it is a "disobedient", "painted" blade. (@NCoxSTL, you can't make this stuff up.) Also, I actually picked up a second one just in case someone might want to try some Sino-shenanigans.

 

I was thinking of the same, using their handles for other razor heads. Cheap way to do it anyway.

 

I'm really not sure. I'm going to guess 1970's but that's a pure guess.

The first one I got was an alarm clock and now I've added the guy with the hard hat, the "thinker", and now the light bulb. I'm kind of anxious to get each of the hands (apparently there was a left and a right). I know the commercial with the slap in the face was early 70's so that's why I'm guessing these decanters are from that era.

I've also seen a globe, a football, a razor, a fire hydrant, a bowling pin, a trophy, and a golf club.

I'm not sure why I started buying them since I don't really like Skin Bracer but they seemed to keep popping up and I've already got a bunch of Old Spice and Seaforth decanters so it seemed right to add them to the shelf.
Tomorrow I'm expecting bottles of Skin Bracer Burnished Leather and Skin Bracer Wild Moss so I'm kind of anxious to see what those smell like.

 

Sorry, no special trick.
I use a Kai or a Feather blade in this, because of it's mildness. It's an effective combination.

 

That blade wrapper looks like it could be related to the Flying Eagle. RUN!!!!!

I received my RazoRock BC Silvertip Plissoft. $12.99 is insanely great for this quality of a brush.

 

Wow what a great classic look

 

nice handle

 

I totally agree with you, this is a beautiful brush. I can't believe the quality and price.

 

I received my tub of Route 66 Cranberry Citrus soap that I won in the TSD raffle. OMG it smells so good! Can't wait to try it!

Just go easy threading on that handle. That aluminum won't take kindly to cross threading.

 

Even though I don't think one can really have too many old brass Zippo lighters the third one that arrived this week completes my 'collection'

 

Found the biggest Old Spice After Shave Lotion bottle I've ever seen... Next to a regular size also found today.

 

This showed up today. It's a beauty

 

Super nice Brush!
