    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. :happy108:

    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....

    When they come up cased like that they tend to go for a bit north of $200. You did well :)

    youngunn Where's my TSD aftershave balm???

    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 :shocked003:

    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...

    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.
