Yes, sir. However, it's supposedly not the typical Finest hair. :wink:

I scored on these together recently on ebay. I just received them and cleaned them up a little bit. There are two older techs that I haven't dated yet, a 1954 SS, and the prize is a Gillette Algonquin dated on the handle Jan 13, 1920. Thanks to Papasmurf for identifying that for me.

Just curious - what is the difference between the Algonquin and a Bostonian? Color?

I am not sure myself being a newbe in this hobby. I need to get the book so I can identify these nice goodies. Here is a better picture. It is used so I will be trying it out with a new feather soon.

from L'Occitane. They are having a Buy 2 Get One Free on their soaps. Not bad considering they are $12 a piece. I bought 2 Verbena and decided to try their Lavender. The Verbena is a great soap, especially in the summer and then use their Verbena edt afterwards. Great summer scent.

A huge 22lb box from Charles WITHOUT a Trumper's sticker on top (a first?)!!! Inside the box are 70 beautiful Bathtub Gin shaving sticks that will soon be sent out to the lucky folks who participated in the group buy. :biggrin:

The smell from the box, let alone an uncapped stick, is drool-worthy! :drool:

Todays mail was pretty good I got my 2 tubs of Mama Bear's Diogenes


and an almost flawless Gillette Toggle That I do not believe was used the blades are sealed and the razor itself is just about as flawless as you can get
This is what the razor looks like before I clean it Once cleaned up I am sure it will look even better . :)

I did leave the window unlocked but I also put the toggle in my safe so you can not get to it Jim.

I gave it a quick cleaning earlier and the razor really appear to never have been used . As a matter of fact if the seller took the time to give it a wipe with a cloth or some thing he would have realized that it was not scratched as he said in his description but just a bit dirty .
