Just received this nice grooming kit. Not a very good picture, but everything in it is in MINT condition.. the only slight sign of wear is on the leather case itself. The razor included is an English Gillette Tech.

Mighty cool looking brush!

So they stopped making soaps and are in the brush business? :biggrin:

A 1952 - 54 HD Rocket :001_tt1:
It is a double ring, and heavier than my other English Super Speed.
1952 (X1) Gold Super Speed. :thumbup1:
It is gold, but much lighter shade than my Milord examples. That may just be wear as the 3rd ring (from the bottom) on the TTO is almost invisible.

These are my ID's, if anyone can correct me I would be grateful.

Late Arrival: 1918 Triple Silver Plated American Button Company Gillette Pocket Edition (Basket Pattern)

NOTE: Pictures taken in sunlight and white balance set appropriately.

We could only dream. This is a vintage brush, produced by Simpson some time ago.

today's mail: I ordered the Mama Bear soaps as a gift for a friend but after smelling them, I guess I have to place another order for myself. The LSF I purchased at a local store. The Arko, Palmolive and Proraso are from Barbiera Italiana. Thanks Giovanni and thanks for the alum block.

Came home this evening to find a package from Sue at St. Charles. Inside: two bottles of "smell good"!:001_tt1: On the left, Autumn Rain, on the right, B&B Bay Rum w/ a Twist. And all that for FAR less than a single bottle of mass market spray swill! One squirt in the air from priming the spray nozzle on the Autumn Rain and 10 minutes later, my wife walks in the door from work and says, "Ooh, what smells so good!" I may have to get another bottle or two before it disappears...

Hey Jay, where'd you get the Barbershop Classics AS's? In the States?

Hey Jay, where'd you get the Barbershop Classics AS's? In the States?

Hey Zach, No, can't find it here. A friend arranged to for me to get it. Shaving Essentials is in talks with Booster. Hopefully John will have it, or be able to get it in the near future.

Been meaning to post some of my acquisitions in this sub-forum for awhile now and always forget to. I will get around to posting some more eventually but I felt I had to post the following which showed up on my doorstep the other morning courtesy of my Canadian razor connection Alfred (Barbarosa). It's a beaut!

Mint British HD Double Ring Rocket in original case.

It may look like some spotting on the end cap but that is an artifact of the flash and the macro shot picking up polish residue. Trust me it's as pretty as can be!

Thanks a bunch Alfred!!
