KMF Patchouli Shave Cream
KMF Lavender Shave Cream
KMF Liquid Rock Deoderant - Unscented


Thanks Gunner!

[Tinzien]

New cushions for the outdoor furniture.

[Gosh90]

Picked these up today at an antique store. I believe the Rolls is new!

[R-James]

That rolls looks fantastic :thumbup:

[MTgrayling]

I went down to the junk store looking for an ice bucket and came back with this, well all except the Barbasol which came Friday. No ice bucket though.

[Gosh90]

Very nice. They all look in good condition! Did you clean them already? What is the one to the left of the Lady Gillette?

[MTgrayling]

Yes I cleaned them and the case, everything was filthy and the case had so much dust the glass was opaque and the wood brown! The one left of the lady Gillette is the two piece Barbasol, it's really heavy and seems well made. I have no idea what the one to the right of it is there are no markings whatsoever.

Wahoo...nice hale Chris. I realy like that case, it's in great shape.
Are you going to use it for an ice bucket....:biggrin:

Nice score Chris! I really dig that case! I have seen those barbasol razors for sale, but without putting it next to something else you can't see how big they are. Very cool!

[Vinny Bobo]

After seeing the magnifiscent restoration by MTgrayling, I remembered seeing a fuller brush exactly like it at one of my local antique dealers and ran out to purchase it. (now if I could only find the thread describing the 20mm silver tip swap out!):blushing:

Oh yeah, the Geneva Cutlery Corp. / Geneva N.Y. straight is pretty sweet too!

[stymph]

Ivory Moss Scuttle from Sarah Bonnyman. Wow, she really knows how to pack things. I am pretty sure I could've run over that box with a car without harming the scuttle. Had a shave with warm lather this morning, and wow, she could charge double, and it would still be worth it :biggrin:

Chris, i thought you would have more imagination than the "ice bucket" routine. I am sure everyone here will remember the last time you found a bucket. :w00t:

I'll pay you the suggested retail price for that Aristocrat.

[CanaDEan Shaver]

Some goodies have arrived: my first Mama Bear soaps, and a thick handled NEW I purchased from Sabledog off the BST (thanks B&B!). I don't know if I can wait until morning to try one of those soaps, and which one first! :rolleyes: (The Pearberry is my wife's, but I had to put it in the photo. It smells great too!).

I'll double it...:biggrin:

I also scored a tube of Speick Shaving Cream.

[razorboy524]

I love that Aristocrat :biggrin:

[smoothjim]

I actually found these a few months ago but only now getting round to posting them.

Seven Limoges Bernardaud "Bristol" cups, evenly cylindrical so they stack perfectly on top of each other, porcelain but well glazed and heavy (enough) bottomed so they sit well in the sink, and....the trim matches the gold, yellow, and white scheme of the bath.

No more x2 $ for wooden bowls. Refill cakes all the way.

Scored some cool water cologne today for cheap. It is a 8 oz bottle I got for 3.00!! Our local Dillard s dept store is closing, and a guy I work with is a security guard there.

Just got my SCS Orange Sorbet and Mint Choclate Shave stick


....I wanna eat the chocolate one >> smells so damned good.

[timsackbutt]

My first aquisition post... I feel a sense of impending doom.

Today I went and picked up a Heritage shaving mirror that I'd ordered. On the way back I popped into an old fashioned "drogist" (drugstore). They had some Merkurs in a cabinet. I bought a Slant, might wait till the weekend before I take the plunge.

Then popped into the C&E just behind. It's actually called Woodleaf and Furn. (sic) and is closing down. 30% off everything.
Bought Harris Arlington pre and aftershave, and a refill of Arlington soap.

Also ordered 100 Derbys, and TOBS lavender cream, and a cake of Haslinger marigold all should arrive today. All from Barbershop Classics here in NL.

Now I need to stop buying stuff and start using it up.

must try to take a photo of it all.

My God this is a lovely hobby!

First DE razor aquisition!

I was out and about and decided to stop at the local antique store. I was looking about and caught my eye on a big jar of DE's. Various vintages and conditions. I had a scrummage about, trying not to catch my fingers on the rusty blades still in some. I narrowed it down to a Gillette Tech and a Rocket HD. $10 changed hands and I returned home to clean them up! YES!

Well, kinda. The HD had a defect that I didn't notice earlier, just slightly tilting to one end of the head. I got some advice and tried straightening it against a wooden block. Small give...ok...almost there...BIG GIVE! The head snapped off. Great.

Oh well, still ended up with a pretty good, clean Tech for $10. Not bad considering it was made on the exact opposite side of the world... :D

Nice surprise this morning since I didn't expect the razor to be in such an excellent condition. Practically new.

and from the 'bay I got an old type razor

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=12683

I thought it was pretty neat- the instruction book's in 4 languages, and the razor itself is in great shape.

Got some more brushes and soaps to make you guys happy.:biggrin: The brushes are used from the bay and I am interested in using the gold colored handle one however i am not sure how to go about making it ready for use.

[gunner6477]

I was out looking at antiques (already have an ice bucket:001_smile) with my wife yesterday when I stumbled across this nice display case. The price (I thought) was already a steal, but I managed to talk them down another $15 dollars or so:biggrin:. It only needed a bit of dusting to make it more presentable. It now houses a portion of my daily shavers. I do need to mention (and especially thank) CJbianco, and Lost Dog for the Krona and Ladies Gillette. These were PIFs, and I am very grateful for their generosity. My wife has been converted and enjoys the ladies Gillette. No more cartridges in this household:w00t:

The other pics show the Sticky and Bostonian I purchased through the B/S/T and a Schick travel injector acquired from the bay. I was amazed at just how solid the Schick is. I haven't weighed it yet, but would guess probably close to 1/2 pound.


I had a bunch of other stuff arrive in the mail this week (B/S/T purchases) to include:
Speick A/S
Swiss Pitralon
Floid
Tabac soap w/bowl
CF cedar/sandlewood Cream

[BigRay]

Display looks great Gunner !

I went into C.O. Bigelow's today and bought some Proraso pre-shave and after shave balm as well as some Valobra soap so could give myself an Italian shave to go along with my cup of espresso in the mornings.

Ciao bella!

It was a great week for display cases!

:biggrin: Very nice Chris! I am jealous.

[prophetic_joe]

What kind of prices are you guys paying for the cases? I have an antique shop in my town that has one and I am wondering if he is charging a decent price.

I paid $110.00 for the lot you see in the photo below, except the Barbasol razor. I think that may be on the high side, but I got a really awesome deal on a bucket of razors from this shop before so I try to give a little back every time I go in. The picture is after being cleaned so they were not all nice and shiny to begin with.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h89/csbswMT/Gillettedisplay_1_1_1.jpg

I've been looking for a nice display for months and the shipping on eBay, while mostly reasonable for the size and fragility of the item, was always a deal breaker.



:biggrin: Very nice Chris! I am jealous.

Don't worry Rodd, you will have the brother of the red tip Rocket (second from the right) hanging on the rack on the way very soon! :biggrin:

[prophetic_joe]

He's asking $50 for it with no razors at all so if his price is fair i think you did well.

[gunner6477]

Mine was marked at $60...I talked him down to $45. You should be able to get him down a little from $50 I would guess.

[Digit01]

Well here they are - cleaned up prety well.

I would love to see the pictures after you clean them up.
