Scene: The master bathroom.

Time: Early morning.

Setting: A man is at the sink, rinsing the excess soap lather off of his shaving brush after completing his morning shave. A woman (the man's wife) is in the adjoining bedroom, making the bed.

[Open Scene]

Husband: Hmmm, not a bad shave this morning. Well, better than yesterday. I've gotta stop trying to go for a fifth shave on those Israeli blades.

Wife: Oh hey, did you see the package that came yesterday?

Husband: Huh? What did you say? (Shuts off the water tap)

Wife: You got a package in the mail yesterday. Did you see it?

Husband: Ummm, no. Didn't I ask you last night if any mail came yesterday? You said that it was all junk mail.

Wife: Hee hee, oopsie! I guess I forgot!

[Close Scene]

Got the first part of a birthday gift to myself - a ceramic pot of Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap.

I ordered it from the Carbolic Soap Company. No problems with shipping, whatsoever. However, the major selling point was that I was able to purchase it at a substantial price discount from most domestic retailers that I've seen.

 

[Antique Hoosier]

Here are 3 Razors I bought today at the Monthly Flea Mkt at Louisville Kentucky Fairgrounds. Gillette New, Gillette Fat Boy, and an interesting Segal DE which is TTO but the top swivels to expose the blade.

Then from the world's largest online auction site, A Wood & Glass Gillette Counter Top display case loaded with goodies. Fat Boy, Slim Adjustable, Red Tip Super Speed, Super Speed, German Straight in Advertsing Box, Gillette Tech in case with Blade holder, brush, blades etc etc. Big Score!

 

[Tinzien]

After an icy ride home I was glad to find that these had been delivered!
