What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I got a sealed empty plastic bag in a sealed padded envelope from them. The bag had a factory part number on it. I think a bonehead warehouse worker pulled an empty bag and shipped it. Amazon gave an immediate refund

 

Picked up a NOS Yardley soap in wooden bowl - and even the original box.
The bowl is full and the plastic cover is actually still in place.
Heard good things about this old soap so now I need to do some internal struggle if I should use it or keep it as is......oh who am I kidding, of course I'll use it

​

 

I ordered some Myrsol lemon from Gifts and Care and a Swichback 400 brush from PAA.

 

I'd use it too. no museum pieces here.

 

I've been told it will blow my mind...so the bar of expectations has been set

 

Really happy to pick up a Gold Gillette Slim Twist in box, like new for $39.
I think this is the DeLuxe model but need to brush up on the Slims a bit....and to figure out if the box is original to the razor, etc
(If someone here is more of a Gillette expert than me - not hard to be - and know, I'd love to find out)

I also think this was the last gold-plated DE razor Gillette made.

​

 

Also waiting on this little treasure. At $19 shipped it would had been a crime not to get it.

 

Picked up this Vintage Rex razor with blades and case for $5.

 

Now that's a great deal.
Gotta love a good lather catcher.
I'd love to see how that one looks cleaned up

 

Accidently stumbled across a purchase my wife made for me


An NOS late glass mug 04, which if I read correctly was the last shaving mug produced.

 

I'm not able to see this pic.

 

Hero 1914 Lather Catcher..

Another shot..

And lastly..

Just got this 1914 Hero Lather Catcher a moment ago from a UK Flea - Bay seller for £20.00 and local postage...These are ultra rare...If this isn't NOS I am a Dutchman...Its in pristine condition...Its got a strange in dented comb design...Looks like quite a mild lather catcher..I could sniff the usual collector types hanging around...But hey, it had my name written all over it...

Billy..

 

Schweet!

 

Here you go

 

Got myself a Simplex and I think it's mostly because of how much I like the shape of the handle.

The only lather catcher in my den. Im curious as to the condition of the blades....that was the only photo.

 

Good thing about a lot of lather catchers is that they can be used with modern blades. I don't have one of your so can't tell for sure but do keep up posted!
If not, @gssixgun does a mighty fine job honing old hoe blades

 

Is that the second one youve got?? Is this the one that was on sale before he shut down? It was in the middle of NBJ and I didnt crack.....no im kicking myself.

 

Yeah, for some odd reason I now have two of them incoming - different knots and handles.
One was a private sale from a member on TSR and this last one is directly from Peter himself - the last one he's selling apparently.
Will be great fun to try, and have, some of these brushes now that they are sadly all gone.

 

I didnt find much info on Rex lather catchers on the net. I was hoping Billy might chime in.
