The Haul: November 2015

You finally have an acquisition disorder with appropriate initials. SAD

 

See you over at thesockden.com

 

You made me LOL in a Starbucks. My wife is just shaking her head.

 

Now we have to read posts like, Picked up this pair of Wigwams on the 'bay. They listed them as used, but they don't look like they were ever worn.

 

Got this HeldTite brush that seems to be worth the 99 cents I paid for it.



It reminds me quite a bit about an old Rubberset brush I have (see below) but the wooden handle is angled on the HeldTite where on the Rubberset it's round:

 

Or, "I sniped some vintage NOS 1972 tube socks, with the blue stripes, for $2.00"!

 

With the blue stripes? Yeah right. Those are like super rare.
I got some NIB but just for display.

 

Back surgery.

 

If and when you start that domain, I would be honored to post to it.

 

You may have a problem if...

 

Thats a nice gesture, Congratulations to you and your wife =)

 

Yesterday, this lot arrived from my friend @Marverel in Germany.

Proraso Red, lathered one time only and some soap samples, among some interesting Stirling ones. I have used the Red today for my first time. I really really like it, especially the scent. I didn't know what to expect due to polarizing opinions, but it's a winner in this Den

 

Thank you, my friend! She hasn't gone into labour yet, but the bag is packed and the camera charged

 

A pleasure, my friend. Glad you like it.
And I keep my fingers crossed for you and your wife We're all waiting for pictures here, you know ... or else it did not happen

 

I will, and thanks!

BTW: Sorry about the Haribo not in the picture, but it is already gone

 

Bought this M12 BIN this morning with some blades.

 

Picked up a 1950 issue of Time magazine for this ad.

The magazine also has a Barbasol ad, a Pal blade ad, and a Gem razor ad, if anyone's interested.

 

This weekends finds :
1) GEM Flying Wing or Bullet Tip in gold tone 1947
2) Gillette Old Type Made in Canada. Thin cap
3) Club blue razor blades

The handle is similar to an English 1943 Service Set.
Heavier than my fatter English Tech of the same era.

Interesting razor blades. Are you gonna try them out to shave with or added as a collection item?
