Love it Thomas ! nice looking scuttle on the website.
Why did you get a Mug and a Scuttle I would think you would only use a scuttle all the times for warm lather ?

[Antique Hoosier]

Got this in yesterday's Mail (Delighted that Mr. Krumholz signed it..I believe he does with every order). Picked up a 1955 Red Tip Super Speed with Case and a 1953 Super Speed as well at an Antique Store in Gnaw Bone, Indiana (thats right outside Nashville, Indiana in Brown County).

Don....I have the closed comb version of that Merkur. I 've had it quite a while but really don't know the vintage. That said, pm me if you'd care to sell it. I use the one that I have in my rotation and wouldn't mind having the matching open comb version as well.

Would love to find a cheap one that as a pristine top to replace even it not still looks great. Blade case is mint to.

Thanks except for a little fading on top of the head you can see in the picture it is pretty much perfect. I am going to see if I can find a new top head piece to replace. To really make it perfect. This one is staying in my Personal Collection I really like it.

I saw one just like this at an antique store today, I left it there, it was in real bad shape. The handle had a crack in it near the top and the color was almost all rubbed off the top. Your's is in excellent shape compared to the one i found.

[Patrick D]

Being brand new and needing everything, I guess I wanted to make sure I didn't forget anything. This venture could end up as my pipe and tobacco collection has. This week it's been;

After reading everything concerning reviews and ratings of DE razors and several discussions with Merkur users I purchased the Merkur Vision Shaving Set from http://www.nashvilleknifeshop.com/vifopishset.html
along with DR Lavander Shaving soap and a pack of Merkur blades.

Then, from Classicshaving.com comes some Taylor of Old Bond Street Hypo-Allergenic Shaving Cream, Feather "Kanwa" Herbal Aftershave Balm, 250gr Refillable Bottle, Cremo-Cream Shaving Cream and a ten pack of Feather "High Stainless Platinum" Double-Edge Blades.

Then a visit to Mama Bear's for a round of the unscented shave soap, unscented aftershave and the sandlewood scented aftershave. The alum stick and wooden drying rack and two of Sue's traveling soap tubs.

LOL, now if all this stuff would just show up at my door, the adventure could begin!

This past Wednesday, I won a gorgeous (IMHO) Shick injector razor on eBay (photo from eBay advert, below):

http://www.horen.org.il/jpegs/shaving/G1-amber-back.jpg

I should be receiving it in tomorrow's mail... at least, I hope so. When I saw the handle -- not caramel, not butterscotch -- but translucent amber, I knew I was going to own it.

It amazes me that Schick actually packaged some of their razors in cardboard boxes, rather than their more usual leatherette-covered-metal cases.

PS: if anyone knows-of, or has, any of the traditional Schick razor cases for-sale, please let me know.

I also had the pleasure of trading a B&B member one of my "vintage Schick injector razors" with a caramel-colored Bakelite handle, in exchange for an almost-completely-full tube of Proraso (Green) shaving cream and a couple of other "goodies". The Proraso is an interesting change from Colleen Hurley's "Leatherneck" shaving soap, and the eucalyptus scent took me right back to the Middle East (now, if only I could find some good olive oil...)

:thumbup1:

JB, I was watching that one, "from fallen in house" wasn't it? I picked up a similar E3 a day or two later. Waiting for it to arrive. I love that amber handle.
