Acquisitions Monday March 26 - Sunday April 1

[Antique Hoosier]

Four English Tools arrived today and I'm most pleased.
The 2 flaired tip English Super Speeds are the EXACT weight of their American counterparts, the only diffence being the noticeable English "Gap" between the TTO knob and the handle of the razor. One of the "Rockets" was a Gold one. I say WAS because much of the Gold Plating has worn off the head. It is a Heavy razor and should shave well. There is discussion about whether these are "Rockets" or Jr. Aristocrats. I'm not sure... Still glad to have them arrive and will test drive them all soon.

PS I NEED to STOP buying Razors!!!!!!

It's amazing what a little Simichrome and a lot of patient "elbow grease" can accomplish!

I had asked my wife and daughter to keep their eyes open for a piggy band to use for used blades. They came back from a mall trip with this for me:

Can't imagine where this came from, but it was in my mailbox when I got home today! A gold Chatsworth Lined Safety Razor from EJ. Actually, I saw Goose's pic in another thread and simply could not resist. Hope it shaves as good as it looks! A real heavyweight.

Oh yeah, have I ever mentioned that Kents are AWESOME brushes?! :biggrin:

That is one nice razor I might need to break down and buy something non vintage. How does it Shave? and where did you get it? :thumbup:

Don, other than my slant, all my others are vintage razors as well. This one's from Edwin Jagger...

http://www.theenglishshavingcompany.com/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi/CLISR||@cTraditional%20Safety%20Razors@b|0|user||1 %200|

Not a clue how it shaves since I just received it this afternoon, but it's loaded up with a fresh Derby and ready for tomorrow! Goose says it's a good shaver, but we shall see.

[No idea why the link isn't a link - guess you'll have to paste it in. Sorry, I tried!]

That's fantastic looking!

[carniby]

Yeah...so....I told my increasing angry fiance that I was set at two razors, my slanty and the recently aquired fat boy. Then, Thad offered a Vision for 65 bones, and I scooped it up without telling her. My butt still hurts from the spanking.

I really tried to avoid getting RAD, but it has not worked that way. This week I made a stand for my brush and razor. I bought the Old Spice mug and finally picked up some razors. The razors are:

1953 Gillette Super Speed
1963 Gillette Super Speed
1973 Gillette Slim Adjustable Black Handle

I've collected 9 razors and spent under 30 dollars with shipping. So far my wife is all right, but don't tell her I have a Chrome Slim adjustable coming next week.

That STAR is a great shaver. I have 2 of them, 1 gold and one silver. They also keep their finish very well.

[Areler67]

Unbeliveable! I found 2 antiques razors at the flea market in Belgium! One is dated T2 with a long black handle and the other one has no date but could be a SS! I have to clean and sterilize them but I'll show you pictures ASAP

Went to the Turkish 24h store and picked up 2 packs of derby blades.

Recent razor acquisitions:

From left to rightL: Big Fellow, New Standard, Tuckaway, and Norfolk. All in good shape. Really rounded out my collection of Gillettes. I got the Big Fellow in a nice trade with AntiqueHoosier; the others were a lucky eBay purchase.
