Hm, sometimes you win an auction and you wonder 'why in the world didn't anyone else bid...and, why on earth did I?". Anywho...$25 later I am the questionably proud owner of this lot: Two of the three three straights are pretty much a write-off looking at the broken/chipped blades The rolls looks like its in decent condition The cased EverReady looks rather interesting though and in what seems to be good condition. No idea of model here though... Then there's the Opal and EverReady brushes hiding in the back. Could be good. The double-sided strop looks nice but there's a nick on it that makes it less attractive: The rusty clippers and whatnot will probably just be binned. So was it worth $25? Maybe. We'll see.
What it's for is hilarious but the advertisement is great it's got some historic value in that sense.
My first Gillette Long Comb ball end with box and Canadian to boot. Prefer a different handle but when it's vintage you get what you get. I plan to clean her up real good and pretty.
Happy Thanksgiving All! Found a great type D now I have to wait a bit. So I have an A, B, C, D, E, G, L, and N
So, YOU'RE the one that snagged it. Very nice! It went above my limit but I'm pretty cheap Great catch that one in it's case.... Do post more pics when you get it
Just hit the order button on some: Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barbershop Chiseled Face Redneck I'm going to gift one to my dad for my parents anniversary, I think the redneck as he's a mechanic and a gun enthusiast. It smells like motor oil wd40 gunpowder dirt and leather. Couldn't resist getting something for me too.
I had a sample of their Ghost Town Barber - loved it I would order a full puck right away - but there are these crazy expensive shipping rates to Germany ... $ 12,99 for the soap, $ 16 for shipping Well, today I ordered the Crown King Switchback 400 and a blank head. Did not want to buy anything new this year, but since it's an "introductory price" the voice in the back of my head was able to persuade me. Might even arrive before christmas. And with this brush shipping in relation to merchandise value is a tiny bit more reasonable...
