I almost forgot these beauties: 6 Gillette ads from National Geographic, '23-'25. The scans don't do them justice; they are originals.
Hmmm, $10 in 1925 calculations for a Gold Gillette...make it around $135 now. Guess eBay prices aren't TOO bad
Scored a blue tip superspeed and a star se for $10 at an antique store today. The superspeed is in really good shape with all of its paint and no pitting or plate loss. cant wait to polish it up
Two more creams which I bought today at an Egyptian grocery store: 1x Caola sc 1x Lord Emofresh sc The Caola is practically identical to Barbon - in fact they're both made by the same company in Hungary.
Guess who´s back...back again...ChiefShaver´s back...tell a friend... New stuff: 1 bottle Bello Bay Rum "Lime" (new scent) 1 bottle Bello Bay Rum "Original" 1 handmade Bath soap "Coal Pot Grand Bay" ...here the ingrediant list of the soap... ...and a full description of the soap. Sounds very interesting. The Bay Rum "Lime" could have a touch more lime,but maybe it will break out on the skin. Smells nice. The original Bay Rum smells very good too. Almost exactly like the "Dominica Bay Rum". The soap has a very nice scent.Not too spicy. Very nice. The seller told me i could use the soap as a shaving soap too...let´s see. Greetings Thorsten
...and it´s me again...today i got a very fine package,which i have waited for: Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco EdT What a fantastic scent!!! Wow!!! It seems calming to me. Took a nose and i had the feeling to forget the stress i had at work today. I will buy it again and again.Love it. Greetings Thorsten

Just picked this starter kit up last night. And just got this in the mail today from Blanka. My first DE, a '51 Super Speed and some sample packs of blades! Super excited to try all this!
Enjoy all of it! You'll find some great advice on this site, and the guys/gals are always ready and willing to answer any questions you might have.
Himmlischer Gott - das ist fabelhaft! Salaam aleikum wa Rahmat Allah ila al barakatu - alatoul min Misr kullu hazza! (Translation!) Peace be upon you all and the blessings and compassion of God. Directly from Egypt, all this! 3x Ingram Blue sc tubes 2x Chabrawichi 555 colognes. A little message to my dear friend Khalil who brought me these goodies: Mon chere frere, tu n'as aucune idee comment j'apprecie tout ces beaux cadeaux. Allah isalmak wa Allah ikhalik kullu yawmin hayatak, habibi!
Hij ziet er dan ook patent uit! Translation: he's looking superb! - The Dutch word 'patent' translates as 'superb' as well. International pun!
My last haul for February: A Star three-piece. It's not fancy, or rare; I just really liked the handle.
I think I am done buying anything for a while. I don't have a large enough face to use this all up! This is from a PIF over on the Shave Nook. But, I will try to use each of these before I gift 2 of them to my sons:
I have one just like it - I'd go to the extreme and call it rare. Searching Google returns so few results and it's not one that pops up on the sites often neither. It's a great razor. Totally copied the head from a Tech, but that's only positive. Shaves like a dream and I'll have to agree with ya on the handle - it's very nice and grippy. It's my believe that there aren't many out there. But I might be wrong?
