Very well done! Try the Russian Water, it is very nice.

I've been taking it easy on acquisitions lately but I just had to pick up some stuff from West Coast Shaving to feed my RAD, SCAD, SSAD, BAD, ASAD and a couple other things as well. I replaced the Futur I foolishly sold off last fall, got some Speick and Musgo Real ASB, Speick and Musgo Real shaving cream, Mitchell Wool Fat Shave Soap, Speick and Mitchell Wool Fat Bath Soap, 100 Astra blades, 10 Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge blades, 10 Dorco 301 blades, and a Speick Deo Stick. It's probably my biggest individual acquisition in sheer number of items bout at once.

You're right Scott, it's a #59

#52 isn't it? #59 has the hard blue case similar in design to the #58.

Found this with a fatboy sitting in an antique shop.

Sorry, #52 it is!

That's a British Rocket HD in aluminum.. it's a great find and gives an awesome shave!

Thank you for all information, it's english made that's true and doesn't have a date code.
Haven't shave with it but i might try some day

Got this nice little vintage Gillette travel boar brus in the mail today:

It is really small; only 7.5 cm tall. I bought this in order to restore it, but due to it's small size and a crack in the handle I will leave it as it is and display it.

The bottom says; Whiting Adams. Trade VULCAN Mark. Rubber Cemented


Regards.

Jakob

 

[heirkb]

You should reknot that thing. It's a very cool piece but that knot makes me cringe

Edit: Just saw your post

 

[JEEP]

I think I would have trouble finding a knot with a small anough diameter - and I fear that I might split the hande, which is nickeled brass - and hollow btw, if I tried to remove the old knot.


Regards.

in today's mail...

thank you, copperhead!

thank you, shaved_*****!


and now... only one more to go!

Nice Plisson. I'm not a fan of that handle, but yours looks very nice.

 

[Bulldawg]

This was a good week

 

[sapito318]

I should probably get some SMN for this summer...

What a nice find Jakob! If you had two of them would you rebristle one?

 

[mretzloff]

This was a good week

It's good to see that we did a good job persuading you to purchase that SMN. Do you like it?

 

[Not4you]

I mentioned the Snakewood straight before and the black handled one I just got back from a resto/honing (thanks Floppyshoes) but I now have some pics. I also got some Tabac and I love it!!

 

[philipfromga]

Not a huge score but the first Taylor and Derbys for me!
