    Sounds tasty! My mother does something similar, slightly different spices. Fresh garlic, onion, and cayenne pepper. Slow roasted, the juices make a gravy, served over rice.

    Stopped at a local cigar bar to pick up an ounce of Perique. They sell cigar boxes for five bucks. Unless you are making a purchase, then I'd suggest taking your time to find a beautiful mahogany unit with brass hinges, a latch, and velvet lining suitable for holding ten straights. Under the tray is space for desiccant.

    I Stuart what it is I picked one up at Value Village for 99 cents. I thought it was a dog dish. Works for me.

    The TTO's - the Aristocrat is an early one with no notches on the center bar

    The OC's. The NEW might be a Frankenrazor, but they were made with the Fat Handle

    I also received a Boker King Cutter from my druggist. This straight belonged to his grandfather.

    Nice Haul @Roderick ! Can't wait to see them polished up. Are you shopping for a larger storage solution? That will make quite a display.

    Gov't issue blade dispenser arrived. Full of gun-blue carbons made by Vulcan Safety Razor Co. Never heard of 'em before. Googling the stock number tells me nothing and I find no substantial mention of who Vulcan was. From the look of the plastics, I'd guess these are late '50s upwards to the '70s.

    I notice that about all Waits has to say on them is: "Vulcan Safety Razor Corp. (Sears supplier) 238 Burnett Ave., Maplewood, New Jersey. TM first used 1945."

    I'm curious about the idea of Govt.-issued razor blades. I thought all the discussions about post-WW I military razors pointed to razors and blades as being something that the soldier had to purchase from the PX/BX.

    That's true, I think it's just a federal stock number.

    Got a chance to do some antique trawling last weekend. No razor finds, but did pick this up for my niece's birthday which is next month:

    Received this in the mail today. When I try SE shaving, this will be the one to start with. And it looks like I'm going to need another storage box similar to the cosmetics box I got a little while ago because I have my eye on a couple more items................ IMG_0606.jpg IMG_0607.jpg

    Thanks! So far the first shave was not as expected. Rough on and off. Angle and blade choice I suspect.

    That doesn't look vintage. Is it a modern SE?
