Went to the MdC site to purchase a Lavender brain bowl (xmas present for myself) and found they have introduced two new LE soaps (Rose, Vetyver) so naturally had to buy all three.

Order Limenthol Select Soap and post shave lotion from CRSW yesterday during the sale. My first order of any CRSW products. I can't wait to try them out based on the fairly good reviews their products receive. Steve
Almost as exciting - if not more for me - as finding, say, a mint, cased Toggle for $10 was this find today: A white Milward Courier razor IN the original case!! I believe I might have shrieked like an excited tween when I came upon it today for....GBP 5 from a vendor in the UK. This is the famous electric razor that Sir Kenneth Grange won a design award for early in his career. They are hard to find and I do have a black one that is not really working - this one is supposedly tested and works great. Finding a white one in this condition w/ case outside of a museum..is like finding a bottom-dial fatboy in it's original wrapper (well, apart from the monetary value that is)
Somewhat uncommon, the (1919-24?) US version of the British 1909 patent shovelhead which would morph into the "1924" . Very different from my other US Patent Applied For Shovelhead, the base on this one reflects the 1922 patent application rather than the 1924. The Londoner Demesquita had received US Patents for the front hinge in 1915 having made application in 1909 (same as British patent). .
