    My Bakelite head vintage Merkur showed up today from Germany. The original cardboard box is in pretty good shape which is a bonus.

    Lucked out at a yard sale this morning. Several months ago I lamented using up the last of my Aramis shave soap and had resigned myself to probably not finding more within my means.

    Well...

    At first glance, I was expecting a mug with one cake and a cardboard filler below that. And I'd have been fine with that. But when I later got the stuff out of the box...

    So for $4, I got a fantastically rough stoneware mug with black enameled interior (new coffeemug? maybe...prolly too much lead), a very nice, very soft badger brush (which I don't need) and THREE of one of my fav soaps ever. I know I could ebay this set and easily get 10x what I paid, but I don't wanna! :)

    Also found a nice brand new MacAusland's wool blanket and a couple of old Fire King plates that are now in the dishwasher, along with a couple of goofy goldfish/clownfish mugs for the girls. $10 for the whole outing. Plus I got to chat awhile with parents of a fellow USS Wasp plankowner (I was wearing my ballcap). That was very pleasant.

    A good day's scrounging, overall, and makes me feel better about being house-bound the rest of this weekend doing a ton of reports for next week.

    Have a good weekend, gents.

    My $3 Wakins Neillite razor I found at my favorite farmers/flea market today.

    I posted more about it HERE.

    Seems no pay May for me will be no eBay May because I will still look for items in the wild.

    I found a mug and brush set. that may be joppa mointain pottery, or maybe homemade.
    the bottom of the mug is marked, "R or PUTL".
    it has a never used boar knot. and an unopened cake of Surrey soap.
    I also got a badger brush from Ralph Lauren safari correction.

    Another OS mug from the antique store and my scales for the wade&butcher came in today. Time to figure out this peening and wedge thing now.
    [​IMG]
    Also saw, but didn't buy because I want to do some research first, a "Christie(?)" SE razor with box and paperwork. And saw but didn't buy a GEM (1912 style head) with a Schick injector style short handle. I'll do some research first on the Christie (?) before going back for it.

    L'Occitane, Embarcadero, San Francisco, earlier today.
    [Walks in with pretty girl who starts picking out a lot of stuff to buy]
    [Me, walks over to the shaving stuff. Store clerk comes over.]
    "Are you looking for something in particular?"
    "Do you still have the Plisson shaving brushes?"
    "Oh yes, let me get one from the back"

    [Returns with a brush in box'.]
    "How many of these do you have left?"
    "Oh there's quite a few"
    "How much is it now?"
    "It's...30 dollars"
    "Ah, yeah I bought one a few months ago. Handle got a small chip in it. I must have dropped it"
    "Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. Well, what I can do is take off five dollars on this if you're looking for a replacement"
    "Sure"


    [Walks out with brand new L'Occitane Plisson brush for $25 and a bunch of samples]
    [Pretty girl bought girl stuff]

    Living in Denmark the only way to get the brush is to order it from the Swedish site which is $50 then I have to pay $15 for delivery which seems a bit overpriced. So $65. I wish I could order 1 from the USA. Even with postage it would be a lot cheaper.

    Now I'm thinking I should just got and buy 10-15 brushes and hoard them....
