What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Mark, congrats on such a nice score. Browsing the BST on Thanksgiving morning paid off big time.

 

I've been hangin' round the BST waiting for Toby to put up some Aristocrat handles and Boom!

 

So you're the one who got that. Assuming you're deserving, I hope you enjoy it. It's my favorite razor.

 

Waiting on two NIB Wilkinson T70 sample razors

This. The brush was interesting and the rest was just there.

A woman's toiletry kit comprised of a powder box, pumice stone for the feet, shaving brush, and soap box. At least I think it is a soap box, perhaps the bristles go through the hole and the handle rests on top, opposite what the second picture shows.

The brush is an Ever Ready "Badger-lon", on the base it clarifies this as Badger and Nylon, model 500BN. Nylon dates it to 1940-onwards. The boxes are "ivory pyralin", an older name for cellulose.

Picked up these three brushes for $7.
I like the early Rubberset one on the middle but I rather curious about the wooden one to the left that appears to have a metal mid-section.

Boom

 

Very Nice.

 

Thanks, I've been waiting months for this one.

 

I can sympathize. Sure looks like it was worth the wait.

 

A $5 BIN.......Schick G8. This is the last G model and it came with a handle similar to what would be offered on their future I model.

 

I don't come across many vintage George Wostenholm & Son 'Pipe' razors with round points so I added this razor to the Wosty collection.
It is in need of some TLC (i.e. some blade clean up, rust and scratch removal) but I like a number of the features on this 11/16" blade: the thumb jimps, round point, blade engraving 'The Celebrated EXTRA Hollow Ground Pipe Razor,' and the bone scales. A small crack near the pivot pin will require some careful handling of the scales if a re-pin is necessary. For $30, its a pretty sweet deal.

 

I stumbled onto this near mint Schick type D this morning....

Mine for $100
