The Haul: March 2015

I don't have that many boxes and I cant afford the shipping anyway.

 

I'm with you. I have three Valets and no blades

 

AND IN STILL IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF MY ADDICTION.

 

Im scared...I havent been at this for that long (5 months) and I (hopefully) have a long way to go (Im 31)....I cant stop looking at fatboys and slims, and I know a toggle is on my horizon as well (probably a aristocrat too).
@theFAT98 thank you and love that self

 

As a friend ill gladly pay for shipping. Hahahaha

 

Very nice! I like what you've done.

 

Thanks so much!

 

That means a lot Kerry. Its what I'm most proud of. Haha

I love my gun collection but my shaving gear is the most fun.

 

Are you making them?

 

Guns and razors. There's a man after my own heart
Love the racks!

 

No I think My Rolls Razor shelf alone would break your wallet. The three Imerial 2's without boxes on the right stack came in yesterday.



But you do have me in quality soaps and creams.

 

I have a lot of razors that I find interesting, quirky and yes, even attractive - but when I opened up the box today and laid my eyes upon the SE L'Essor razor my razor-loving heart skipped a beat...

This is, to me, one of the most beautiful razors I've ever had the pleasure of calling mine.
It is not overly ornate or fancy in any way - there is an almost industrial, clinal, functional look to it - but everything comes together in an absolutely stunning razor.

The loading mechanism is in itself pure genius and everything about it feels so solid and oozes of craftmanship long gone.
The razor I lucky enough to buy (that also came with a Thiers-Issard straight) - might just be the best $26 I've ever spent. It's in 'near mint' condition with no scratches or plate loss. The pictures below are even before I have had a chance to clean it up.

It's hard to really convey how it looks in a couple of photos so brace yourself for an upcoming 'review' of it - with photos and video - in the days to come.
But here are at least two.

Vive La France!

 

That looks really nice!

 

You got a purty razor.....

 

Thanks sir, yes it is a purty razor
I'm in awe of it. Not sure what it is about it...but if this shaves well with a modern razor (it seems to fit well) then this will be a solid keeper.

 

It's French. Don't be surprise d if it surrenders before you finish.

 

Very cool.
