The Haul ; July 2024

Lol! Wine/lather/aftershave, whatever works for you

 

honestly never seen or heard of a wine bottle coaster beforeonly the rich i guess..

 

Of course you could give it a finish of Spar urethane.

 

i did give the wood a thick coat of beeswax before lathering with it.worked well.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I proudly present my newest addition to my den.

A Ronson Razor in near mint condition. Only minor signs of usage. The razor has been cleaned and disinfected and is ready to get it´s maiden voyage on Wednesday. The original blade can unfortunately not be used. I asked a friend if he would be able to hone the blade and polish it, but he said, that it would be too difficult to hone this blade. So i will try it either with Injector Blades or with regular DE-Blades.

My god is this a beauty It is really a piece of art.

By the way…does anyone has an idea how old these 7 o ´clock Blades are?

Woah! Cool score. That is super cool. Beautiful pics, Just looked that up neat piece of equipment and design!

Let us know how you go...

 

Great!!! So cool to see an old advertisment. I love these things.

 

Hi Friends,

another rare find wants to introduce himself.

an „Emir“ Razor made by Karl Engels in Solingen. I need to find out quite a bit more about this beauty. I think it is out the 50‘s or 60‘s.

Now it needs to be cleaned thoroughly.

If someone has more informations, please share.

Here are the pics:

niiiiiiiiiice!!!

 

Very cool, looks clean too.

 

smells like alcohol..cologne is ok..will add some menthol crystals to spice it up a bit..the aftershave bottle is destined for other duties..

 

My two cans of Rise Superfoam arrived today! Will get to the first can later this weeek; possibly on Throwback Thursday! Interestingly, it says on the can that the scent is that of the Original Rise Shave Cream! I think they did some tweaking around, as my other Rise Superfoam cans did NOT have that scent(close, but not quite).

 

Is the pour spout better than that of what we see in drugstores now?

 

Great score, Gary! I’m with @ChrisB. The turquoise patina looks real sharp.

 

Yeah, I’d never heard of such a thing either. Many years ago, my aunt gave Gayle and me a weighted, chrome plated wine bottle coaster with a non-slip base as an anniversary gift. We enjoyed using it for a few weeks (as we almost always had a bottle of wine at the ready), but at some point we repurposed it as an olive oil bottle coaster and it’s remained that way ever since.

 

You lucky dog you......but I'll be orfering mine perhaps this fall/winter. They look great.

 

being an all glass bottle the restrictor is molded in. the hole is more restrictive than in the new plastic bottles.

 

they are great Paul.i think you will like them.they are very affordable as well.

 

thank you Charlie.it will grow back..

 

it's pretty cool either way..another old knick knack on the shelf,and since i waterproofed it it builds good lathers also..
