FS: Pils DE, Rooney Stubby 2XL, Muhle R41 toothcomb, vintage thuri, coticule

[MajorBurnz]

Up for sale today I have the following:

(Forgive the blurred pics. I was using a strange camera. I can post better pics this evening.)

Payment to be by Paypal - no eChecks, please.

SOLD!! 1) Pils all stainless DE razor - $185 ConUS

This razor needs little in the way of introduction. It is a heavy, medium aggressive and very smooth shaver. The version for sale here is the all stainless steel one. It's in great shape, both cosmetically and functionally. No scratches or anything like that.

The finish on the head is not the usual matte finish - rather, this one has a mirror finish. It is marred a bit with some water spots, but they should buff out.

Unlike the two matte ones I've owned previously, this one hasn't had a problem with rusting on the inside of the head. I store the blade in the razor, and don't dry it or anything - and the razor is stored in the bathroom, and I've never had any rust develop. Strange! I can't guarantee that this will continue, but I was certainly pleased with that. :001_smile

I don't have the box for it anymore, and because of that and the water spots, the price is lower than is usual for these razors in the used market.

TRADED!! 2) Rooney Heritage Stubby 2XL - $160 ConUS

This brush doesn't need much of an introduction. This hair grade is amazing!

It is in great shape. I'm the first user, and it's never shed a single hair and it has been babied. The handle is in good shape and the knot is perfect (28 mm). The bloom is lovely. The only blemish is the slight loss of some of the lettering on the back.

This comes with its box.

SOLD!! 3) Muhle R41 toothcomb razor - $50 ConUS

This is a 'like new' razor. It hasn't seen much use since I got it.

This razor needs very little introduction - just look at the threads in the Safety forum if you need information on it. It is in great shape and can shave really well (in the right hands). The finish is great - it's basically pristine.

It comes with its original box etc.

Sorry about the blurry pic here, I'll get some better ones on later.

SOLD !!4) Vintage 'Genuine water hone' Thuringian - $100 ConUS

This is a really nice vintage Thuringian. The label in the box says it's a 'Genuine Water Hone', but these are generally Escher grade for the most part. I reviewed some of its capabilities in this thread: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/239084-Seven-hones-for-seven-razors?highlight=oozuku+namito+schulze

The box is in okay shape - a little warped. The hone is 5" x 1" x ~1/2".

5) La Grosse Blanche?? Coticule bout - $132 ConUS

FInally I have a coticule that I bought from TSS. It is a nice hone, but I have too many, so this one can go.

Jarrod (from TSS) identified this one as a La Grosse Blanche stone, but I'm not certain that it is. Either way, it is a good hone. Pretty fast on slurry, and pretty slow on water - puts a nice edge on the blades.

It is a nice size, and can be held in the hand for honing. It's about 1 cm thick throughout, and it is slate backed.

PM sent on the Muhle R41

[MajorBurnz]

Muhle lasted less than 5 min. :)

SOLD to KM-instructor.

[The Chandos]

Damn! KM-instructor has been all over the Muhle R41's this morning...!!!

[Angry__Panda]

My god people have been buying up those R41's like NOBODY'S business here lately.

On a side note, kick butt prices on all of this stuff. That is the cheapest I have seen a PILS for on the BST (last couple have been around 200) so for anyone interested or who was holding out, this is probably as good as it gets ;) . Good luck with the rest of the stuff Major.

your a freakin sniper man.....

[wimbouman]

KM-instructor = KollectingMuhle-instructor :-)

[dannymayo]

In a short time KM instructor has made his presence known, especially on BST. You have to be fast on BST folks, he's fast.

[KM-instructor]

Not by strength by guille is my motto.
Odd thing is when i logon to B&B I go to the BST first, and there always seems to be something for the fix.
By the way that is a wicked price on the PILS, someone please jump on it.

[Godan]

PM on the Pils.

[captp]

KM-instructor...the Captp of razors. If he was into brushes, I wouldn't have a chance.

[jkh]

PM on the Thuringian. This is the third Thuringian I have attempted to purchase is the B/S/T in the last week or two, let's hope the third time's a charm.

EDIT: Yes! Payment sent for Thuringian.

[MajorBurnz]

Only the coticule left.

Alabamalawyer gets the Rooney.

[texaninkc]

Well I guess if my trade proposal is going to fall to someone, I'm honored it was Chris. :-) your den is quite stunning.

[franz]

Can't stop gushing about Heritage 2-band, glad someone snapped it up to take away the temptation of adding another one...

[MajorBurnz]

Coticule has been withdrawn and will be relisted with a 20% discount.
