Acquisitions for October 2011

[bradgsanford]

new blade bank from the flea market

 

[CyiDev]

Very nice blade bank. Does it come apart at all in order to empty it? I would find it hard to not repaint it into looking like a Simpson Brush.

 

[bradgsanford]

It has a plug on the bottom like piggy banks do.

DUDE! I want one! That is an awesome blade bank. By far the coolest one I have seen.

About to start straight razor shaving and picked up these two tonight. They will be my first razors. What do you guys think?

Good condition US made King for $24.51

Good condition German made Jowika for $24.99

I almost got this one too but it slipped past me. I bid too low. Doh!

Wife and I went "junkin" in northern Missouri over the weekend. Found some razors, a travel brush in a tube and a Gillette case.

Anyone know what the case was for?

Yeah, I think I went a bit crazy, but it's been fun. I am very much enjoying myself!

Are there any markings on the case? Most Gillette cases I've seen have cut-outs/comparments to hold its contents.

Here's the bottom. That's the only Gillette indication there is.

Dude! Brian, that razor is AWESOME! I love the shape of the scales, they are unique and classy and just plain sweet. Congrats on the new beauty!

Live it! What are the scales? Look like micarta or bone...

 

[Drybonz]

This month I added a size 16 to my Plisson herd. (I now have size 12, 16, 20 and 24 in HMW with horn handles - this completes my line up!).

My goodness... size 24? I bet that thing is gigantic! Nice handle on that 16 btw... very pretty.

Just a few items. I was beginning to feel left out. BTW, that alum block ain't no joke. I bet I could do some real damage if I chucked it at something.
