[paydepst]

While driving through Atlantic City I noticed an area of two or three blocks where there are several small ethnic grocery shops. I parked my car and started popping in and out of each little store. Here is what I found:

Found this Yardley set at a local antique shop. Anybody have a clue as to how old this is?

Rich...Awesome find on the Yardley set. It looks fantastic! Gordon over at SMF is quite the Yardley buff. I would imagine he could tell you what era that package came from. He often uses the vintage soaps. I'd post this over there and ask the advice of "The Duke".

[icemncmth]

The Susie Bubbles soaps are really nice...the Rootbeer isn't in the photo it is
in my shaving mug!

[RichGem]

The postman just brought me a package of QED shave sticks: frank. & myrrh and sandalwood. mmmmmm. :drool:

[scoopster]

Got some seriously speedy shipping on the new Merkur 38C from Lee's Razors along with a ten-pack of Merkur blades as part of his 38C special to B&B members. It's got some serious heft! I'm very excited to try this thing as it will my first forray into shaving with something other than an old Gillette I've scrubbed clean.

Also got a tube of Musgo Real cream - it's been on my must-try list for a long time, and hey, I was placing an order anyway :biggrin:

[Newfie]

I just got in the mail:


Gold Gillette Tech (have no idea what year)

Tube of Musgo Real

FYI - There is a chance the heads were reversed with the barrels on the second and third gold razors on the top. As far as I know the barrel style on the third from the left gold razor only came as an open comb model. The barrel style of the middle gold razor (ball end) came in an open comb style and in Tech-style head (the first and third gold razors have Tech-style heads). Hope that was clear.

P.S. that was an outstanding price for the auction you won - nice job!

My 38C arrived today via Leesrazors. Thanks Lee!

SWMBO recently put me on shaving supply probation; realizing the validity of her argument, I reluctantly agreed & acquiesced, but I acted like a sad puppy.
Two weeks ago, she went to Vegas for a couple of days w/ her sister. Our anniversary was this week, and lookie what I got surprised with...

The girl at the T&H shop told her they shipped free CONUS...she also threw in a bath soap round of Trafalgar and some slippers w/ the T&H logo.

The other soaps were also a complete surprise. She has apparently decided she likes vetiver.

If you mean that in sense that she told me she was gonna kick my a** in front of our two kids, yeah it's double, but she wasn't tryin' to keep it a secret!:wink:

The girl at the T&H shop told her they shipped free CONUS...

Are the prodcuts more pricey there than other online stores?

Empty handed and on my way out of a local antique shop I spotted this old hutch. I opened up one of the doors and sitting there by itself was a dusty but mint 58' Fat Boy in its original case. After paying for it ($6.00) I thought not bad for opening a door...

[RichGem]

Scent-filled goodness from SCS in the form of Sandalwood EDT and samples of 2-11 & Embrace EDTs.

[SmoovD]

Very Nice, The late 40s Super Speed is a great razor. I've recently acquired a 48' Super Speed, I feel very fortunate to have such a fine piece of American shaving history. Its also special to have a razor or two from your birth year...
