I just got this baby back from ToxIk - one of the members over at SRP.

Its a 6/8 plus Joseph Rogers wedge with custom striped ebony scales and a laminate spacer (which you can't see in this picture).

I bought this on e-bay for $10 (shipped from the UK) - I got it for such a low price because the original ivory scales were broken and the vendor claimed it was chromed. Except for a small amount of pitting near the spine on one side, the blade is in perfect condition.

The blade was brought up to a mirror finish and the scales compliment the blade very well. The scales have a high gloss CA finish and the picture doesn't do them justice.

The razor is very heavy for its size - which I like as it helps keep the skin taught and you can let the razor do most of the work. Needless to say, it gets through the tough stuff with ease - it came back to me extremely sharp. I've always liked heavier grinds and this is my first true wedge - but I suspect it won't be my last!

I am skeptical about eBay lots I have over paid more then once. But this one made up for it $75 I am pretty sure all are NOS.
All the razors came in original boxes with instructions the old Gillette instructions I have never seen before there like little books. and the blade backs are all unopened
Gillette Silver Old Type Standard in Silver Case and it came it a Blue satchel I never new that.
Gillette New Tuck away Silver Case and Came in a white satchel
Gillette 58 TV SS
Gillette New the blade pack in this is a little 2 pack
4 Gem Minute Man these come in a real funky metal case holder
2 Gold (Brass) Ever Ready
4 Brushes Never used the one is some kind of Hair for sure the white ones I do not know what the are made of show a little mark here or there on the handles but pretty much mint unused.
Kriss Kross 1920
2 Little containers have no ideas what there for.
4 Boxes Gillette 3 hole Blades
5 Boxes Gillette Blues
Misc open blades
I would be very grateful if someone could help me with the non Gillette razors and the Brushes. I would like to determine some type of value for selling. I have know clue. Many Thanks in advance if you can help!!!

What a great purchase. Wish I could help with valuing. When you settle on a price, I might be interested in one or more items.

I will drop them on here first everything is going but the Gillettes? As soon as I figure out a fair value. This is some nice stuff.

Well I guess it is just an excuse to go back again at some point. You are lucky you have the opportunity to walk right into a shop like that.

Taylor's is one of the best shops to go in if you want to go back in time, I think the lovely smells in the shop are now soaked into the walls, like Trumpers and Truefitt&Hill they are emporiums that delight the eyes and arouse the senses and EMPTY your wallets!!!! :biggrin1:

I've had a bit of fun cologne shopping over the last week.

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=6726

I've had the Trumper's Eucris for a little over a week now. Today I picked up Bijan by Bijan and two scents by Cuba - Paris and Gray. The Cuba colognes have some very cool packaging. The bottle is brown, textured glass that looks like a cigar and the bottle fits into a slightly larger than normal aluminum cigar tube. They are economy priced colognes but smell nice to me.

Thanks!! I got a decent shave with them this morning, using a feather blade in the fat boy and low settings until my technique improves.

There is a lot of room for improvement, thats for sure!! :)
