The Haul: July 2019

Oh man that’s nice! I have several different types of Colgate and Williams.

 

Today I got Ariana & Evans Khalifa shave soap and aftershave from WCS.

 

Thanks .

 

A few acquisitions that have come in over the past little bit...

First up, a small lot consisting of a post-War gold Tech and what I think is a Badger travel brush:

The Tech cleaned up beautifully and has almost no wear, just what appears to be some lacquer loss. The brush knot seems to be in good shape and only shed a few hairs during cleaning; unfortunately, a fair amount of chrome plating has peeled off of the handle. The brush will get a run somewhere in the next few days and the Tech will be a future PIF.

Next up is what what described as an AutoStrop:

Specifically, it's a VC4. I already have one of these and would have passed were it not for the DE head on the right, a Gillette 175 Goodwill. This is a New LC-based Goodwill and differs from the more common 160 in that the center slot has been cut. It mates will with a spare OT handle.


Then there is this...


A Deluxe Trac II Razor

It's really just a regular Trac II in a different color and in a fancy case, but it was inexpensive and has a certain class to it. I just need to find some appropriate blades for the holder.

I really need to stay off of eBay because Sherri and I made a major purchase last Friday:

A 2019 Chevy Equinox LT. (The car behind it is my daughter's 2015 Trax.)

Finally, one small disappointment... I grabbed a low BIN on a Fatboy that looked like it had been stepped on. Unfortunately, the T-bar snapped while I was trying to straighten it.

It's a G2 which is my birth year and almost by birth quarter, so I really want to fix it up if possible.

 

Wow. Nice haul John. Love that vc4.

 

Great hauls, John. I just got in one of those Goodwill #175s a month ago. Very nice shaver and a different top cap geometry than a NEW LC with similar base plate.

 

Next level cool Jim! I don't collect the Avon bottles except for the vintage juice but with the megablade appearing to be the same scale... Think you could hone an edge of the super sized SS DE blade?
It might be tacky, but that would flash in the sun hung from a rear view mirror.

 

Do you need one?

 

What's in the skull????

 

It’s just something I keep on my table. My mother made it for me as a holiday gift.

 

I was hoping you would say "cookies".

 

It’s rather small; I might be able to fit a few cookies in it depending on their size.

 

I dont have one yet . I have been looking for one though

 

very cool goodwill sir..

 

Still at the same address?

 

Valley Girl Voice,"Like...OMG you guys! Get a room!"

 

Sorry!

 

You're the one supposed to receiving gifts! Happy Birthday.

 

happy birthday John.
