Last week of September....y'all start thinking about your Christmas lists...but if ya can't wait 'til then.... :rofl Whaddya got this week? Post it up, folks!
Might as well start off this weeks discussion, below is my recent haul. I traded a Merkur Future that really did not do well on me and I really did not like it for the group below. At the moment I have only used one of the group, the 60s super speed and man am I pleased with that one. Actually the one at the far right was not a part of this haul. It was sort of a self pitty purchase at a local shop. That's a Parker, came in a real nice case. I am not real fond of three piece razors at all, tend to cut my fingers getting the blade into and out of the shaver. Going from left to right that's a women's super speed, tech. 60s super speed, speedway and of course the Parker. Without further ado here is my new additions:
It's white handle. Can you help identify any of the ones in the picture? Can you confirm or deny that the one on the left is a women's gillette? Do you know what the gold one is?
It's white? The Ladies Gillette was made in blue, pink, and gold, I believe. Are there stars on the handle, under the head? Here's a picture of the blue style. Not the best picture, sorry. View attachment 1860 As for the other razors, I'll let the guys tell you what they are.
I thought there was too much light or reflection off the razor to see what I'm trying to illustrate for jb.
I just got word this weekend that a company I placed an order from for Burt's Bees ASB a few months ago is getting a shipment from someplace. They had previously had to cancel my order and asked me if I wanted to get some. Hell yes, and they have a couple of pucks of soap to send me too.
They don't have the cologne. They are sending me a sample of a local made "spicy" version they say is better. They didn't like the FO that Burt's switched to towards the end.
I'm with Joe....I thought it was great. I'll send you some of my straights when I want pictures for auctions. The one on the left is the gold ladies' Gillette. The gold one is a thick-handled Tech, and then the Super Speed, of course. The others look like Parkers, and I'm not up on those. Sorry...
This wouldn't happen to be Red Rain store? If so, I think the "local spicy version" is Professor Patton's, which indeed is quite good. FO? Supposedly the Burt's Bees is 99% natural, which would lead me to believe EO

Thanks to Joe for running an excellent group buy on the Alt Innsbruck and Swiss Pitralon. Can't wait to try 'em out.
The handle on this one is white. If its not a women's super speed what could it be? It has stars under the handle.
Have you cleaned it? It is a ladies gillette,but not a "super speed", and I believe Blair is correct that it is a gold one.
