Acquisitons September 14 - 20

[Suzuki]

Let's see the haul for the week!

[Monkeydad]

No pics yet, but I just picked up a perfect-condition badger brush that has a white handle and says "STERILIZED - MADE IN ENGLAND" for $1.00 and a perfect-sized blue shaving mug with gold leaf on the top rim and a CAESARS POCONO RESORT graphic with Julius' head on the side in gold leaf for just another $0.25 at an antique shop.

They also had a GEM Micromatic in rough shape that I passed on and a gold Superspeed that I would have gotten except for some gold plating loss on the silo doors...otherwise it would have cleaned up VERY nicely...they were both $5.00 each.

FINALLY I am beginning to see some in antiques shops!

I have been using a boar brush, so this is my first badger brush. Cleaned it and used it....very nice...although since its handle is too slim to hang from my shaving stand, I'm going to keep it for a travel brush. It DOES seem a little on the small side, but hey, it was badger for a buck! Looking at some reviews on here, it looks like it may be a Simpson brush, although I do not see Simpson on the logo, the rest of the logo looks exactly the same.

I don't have pix (they wouldn't be very interesting anyways) but I found some old tubes of Palmolive shaving cream (made in USA) in a tiny beauty store near my office.

How doe they smell? I'm awaiting a puck of nag champa and cool spring.

I have been chasing a British Tech for a while now, and finally got hold of a used one in a nice travelling set (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=105327).

The other razor is a PAL, made for BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation). I recieved it with a blade in the razor, although I've never heard of the blade; Winfield Super Stainless (Made in Great Britain).
The handle and the bottom of the head seems to be aluminium and the top of the head stainless steel.

Some great looking goodies fellows......:001_smile

Lovely haul there, if you ever want to sell the BOAC razor let me know, my dad worked for them.

The balm smells VERY nice! The soap smells nice too but it's a little muted. I would have preferred it to have been a little stronger.

[JdB]

Surprise! Let's unpack and have a beer! Nice smell!

Has been a quiet week so far.

Had received my MensBiz order at warp speed like usual.

Recieved my Rolls Razor off of the bay.
http://users.tpg.com.au/abensch//SL372761.jpg

Popped into my local antique store and they had put away this razor for me.
I think that it is a '60s British Tech?

My bulldog was badly brassed, got it plated in Nickle by onotoman Now that's amazing!

[raffijian]

Found this at a local antique store. It is a wooden coaster holder but is just the right size to store some soaps. Granted I have to get the interior foam material taken out first but that should come off easy with a knife. Makes for a unique soap dish. :biggrin:
