Since I'm a newbie, it's been a really exciting week for me.
My Vision set with stand, bowl and brush came in from Nashville Knife Shop. My order from Classicshave came in with some Taylor of Old Bond Street Hypo-Allergenic Cream, Feather Kanwa Herbal Aftershave, Cremo-Cream and Feather DE blades!

From Mama Bear, a block of Mary's non-scented soap, (nice stuff!), alum block with drying stand, some unscented Summertime aftershave and Wintertime Sandlewood aftershave and two shaving soap tubs.

This is a great sport!!

I picked up a nice old three piece German travel razor today.

[johnniegold]

That is an old bottle of Floris Elite after shave that a fellow B&B'er gave to me (yes, you). Along with some JM Frasers s/c and Polar Ice a/s.

[Taz]

Got a gold one to match my silver it is not as pristine as I wanted, Still looking for that perfect one even willing to pay just can not find one. This is in real excellent shape if it was not for the gold fading a little on the silo doors it would be perfect but this is still a nice addition to the collection for now plus picked it up cheap the person did not know what it was.

Also Picked up a 48 or 49 Super speed no date and it has the notch's what I think make it a 48 or 49. Already got my pristine 47 so I will be listing this one. It is in great condition light signs of wear. No brassing or pitting looks good.

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. :w00t:

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! :drool:
