It's an old type of "scuttle". It's not like modern scuttles but rather from a time when not all bathrooms had running water. I put boiling water in the bottom then soak the brush during my shower. Load the brush with some soap(currently TSD Egg Nog) in the top then enjoy a nice warm face lather.
Lucky Tiger is my "daily driver" of aftershaves. Great skincare and a light pleasant scent that doesn't linger. It's Grrreat!
I finally have my new shave froth foam bowl. Otherwise known and a uk exotic department branded pudding bowl. If you all didn't realise, pudding bowls are the new shaving scuttles! So we had pudding for dinner. And now I have a funky shave bowl
Received more goodies for my Mystery box PIF most of the contents of my PIF will be newly purchased. More shipments to follow.
Well.. Got my travel Gillette from the 'bay today.. Also picked up this Auto Strop Valet from the antique store.... I "thought" it came with a box and instructions. Got home and well, you see what the box was for. I guess as long as eBay says I got a good deal then I'm good. Right? Time to clean and do a little more research. Oh and $13 shipped for the travel and $10 for the Valet.
I tried to upload some pudding but it had all been rather quickly consumed in order to get the bowl in the sink and cleaned up. I broke it in with some arko. Tomorrow I think I will introduce it to some col. Conk.
I had one just like that one (with a telescoping neck) a few years ago but the mirror was shot, so I pitched it when I moved. Just bought an $11 nickel plated stand mirror at WM. Working out great so far...it's about that height but has a nice big mirror.
Today's finds.. And there was more.... Maybe another day when the wife isn't with me.... All this for $25 and the blade cartridges are almost full. 15in one and 5 in the other. Just need to find a razor for them now. Time to clean.....
All cleaned up.... Before... Black handle is date code S4. The other one wouldn't even open when I started. Had to soak it with some penetrating oil, works good now. The metal handle one has no visible date code that I can see. The all metal one is not the best condition on the bottom side as you can tell from the way it began. The black handle one though, is just beautiful with only a couple minor blemishes. After...
A late gift from my older brother Fitjar Isrose shave soap =D Edit: Sorry about the upside down picture. I'm to lazy to take another picture =P
I bought myself a flashlight. I had 9 LEDS, it's pretty strong! Wasn't expensive, about 5$ =P It's always good to have a flashlight around =P and I'm not paying 100$ for one(yet)
