The Haul: October 2018

Some creams and a soap from Russia

 

In the mail today, an Old Spice Friendship mug and three brushes for future projects. Ever-Ready C-40, Opal #12 and what appears to be a Strong Set. Another mug was included but it'll be regulated for coffee use, just a plain white one.

 

Just in case of the apocalypse?

I was using my old iPhone 6plus as a security camera, I was paying to use a App in the play store $3.99 per month for 2 cameras/48 hr storage, they offer a free service with no play back
I wanted something better, I didn't want to keep paying a monthly fee for storage, what was I to do?
Wyze Cam! $25 delivered from Amazon, 14 days storage and it is free.

I've been using the camera for a week now and I'm so happy, if you are looking for a very inexpensive security camera with a great supporting app look no further.

 

So many have been singing the praises of CBL Soap, I had to order some once he got the Clubman scent included in a soap. Club CBL is spot on with the Pinaud Clubman scent. Can't wait to try it! Also included were several samples. Nice touch to get me trying some of his other soaps. I ordered on my birthday, so included was a wooden coin.

 

Nice haul! Are these the same as the Spoiler blades?

 

Hope you enjoy the soaps. CBL is a excellent soap base IMO.

 

Garage sale'd a '48-late '50's OS Friendship mug that's so faded I haven't pinned down the date, and a '64 - '78 OS Grand Turk Salem mug. A Surrey/ VDH green handled boar brush. Couple HERMETIC made in Italy containers (1/2L & 3/4L) for pipe tobacco. Passed up a couple brushes with serious cracks & an abused Gillette 3pc.

 

Yes, I believe they’re the same as the Spoiler since the cartridge changed back in the mid 70’s to the 80’s series

Don’t worry @Herm2502 my 1525 blades of Super Stainless gives me 120 years of shaving

 

Mail call this morning!

 

Is this your first time using Sharp Star blades. Please let me know what you think of them; I may purchase some off Amazon.

 

Keith, @NCoxSTL generously gave me a tuck of them, and I was hooked. I find them to be sharp and quite smooth. I purchased them on eBay from oktane-2008. He may give you a break on the price if you ask him, and he may throw in some extra blades.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Toggle Alert

From today flea market adventure, F-4 Toggle and a Gem Junior. Both in very low mileage condition. The gold plating has held up good on both over the decades

Don't ever give up looking, the Toggles are still out there

 

Congrats!

 

A most unexpected find in the wild. $15.

 

Wow @Timwcic!!!!! Once in a lifetime find, congratulations!

Nice vintage Simpson, I would have been all over it if I found it. Great find!!!

 

Nice find!

 

My order from Straight Razor Designs arrived today

I’ll also had a nice find in the wild. I’ve been looking for a 4” Model 19 for a while. This one is a beauty.
