Nice haul!
Nice selections! I hope the Fat works for you since it has such a good post shave feel - it's a great soap. Make sure to soak the puck a bit before using it.
Tried the Mitchell's today and was really impressed by it. I am a confirmed "Marco Method" person so the lathering went extremely well. Marco Method + H.L. Hater Silver Tip = mighty fine lather. I did discover that "the fat" appears to be a thirty soap. Even with a sopping wet brush I needed to add just a tad bit of water to the lather. Still, it's a great soap. I'm glad I got it.
Whose got two thumbs & might have overpaid a bit for a parts lot? This guy. 
But I wanted a better condition Old base plate than the one I've got & now I can Lego a few together.

Nothing wrong with that as long as you are happy with the final result. Pic of finished razor if possible
Still in the mail, but it's this one.

A few nice handles & some good condition base plates & caps. Some strays too, but not a bad haul I think. No clue what that plate is top right.

Great scores all!! Keep the pics coming!
I have not bought anything in a long time, but last week I pick up a Craftsman straight razor. Minor rust, but very little hone wear. Restoration in progress.
Love the mug. Well done!
Thanks. Coffee mug though, so I'm thinking it may turn to razor storage. Turns out it's probably about as old as I am.
View attachment 601460Scored some Maggard's Mango Sage Tea shaving soap and AS, B&M Beaudelaire shave soap, a custom blend shave cream from Stone Cottage Soapworks, and a Gillette O4 Black Beauty birth year razor. The Rudy Vey brush is on the way!
Is it very expensive to get a custom shave soap from them? I thought they did hard glycerin soaps?
Gillette Regent Tech arrived yesterday.
Been looking in on Badger & Blade for several years now, perused all the galleries, read all the reference of the wiki but don't recall that I ever knew there was such a thing as a Regent Tech until recently. Kept an eye open for one in its characteristic case and missed a few until this one was snagged a week or so back. Came in yesterday. Will take it for a spin with a Feather blade in the morning.
