[Suzuki]

Let's see the scores for the week!

[Gosh90]

Found these treasures today!
No ice buckets!

[Gosh90]

I just noticed that the Valet was made in England. I thought they were made in the USA?

Yes, very nice indeed. looks to be another great display case week.

What is in the Philidelphia Inquirer case?

[MTgrayling]

A nice way to start the week. A Red Tip Rocket in a #16 case with some "Stainless Blue Blades", whatever those are.

[thirdeye]

Very nice start indeed Chris.

[Gosh90]

That is a Valet in the case.

[rodd]

Chris how do you keep finding red tip rockets? :wink: I am looking forward to trying to fix the one in the mail. Today I got a red tip case to go with my current (american) red tip, with another no date code SS in the case.

I have never seen the stainless blue blades, isn't that an oxymoron?

[Gosh90]

That is one sweet razor!
Here is what I found today. Got the Musgo while I was waiting for my wife to have lunch with her on her break and then went to a couple antique shops. I saw many razors, but most were in bad shape and then I found this one! It is no red tipped rocket, but new to my collection!

I've gotten all of mine from Australia, just lucky I guess. :blush: I may open and try out some of the Stainless Blue's. If they are stainless they should still be fine to shave with.


Nice Ranger Tech!

Yes, very nice RT!

[jkh]

My Savile Row 3824 arrived today, yes!

[momo360]

My Savile Row 3824 arrived today, yes!

Congratz!

I only wish Charles would offer the 38-style handles in more knot sizes :rolleyes:

[SmoovD]

A delivery from SCS was at my door when I stopped by my home after lunch. The score included:
Smoke & Beads edt
Oakmoss & Lavandula edt
Lavender edt

I think I now own all of Sue's frags, save for Melazze(sp?). Which to use tomorrow?!?! Or maybe a quick shower tonight after work before going out for dinner will allow me to squeeze one in today!

[owen]

Tony Miller 4-side paddle strop. ordered friday arrived tuesday, all the way cross country even with memorial day holiday great delivery. Just applied the paste, now the long 2 days to wait for it to dry before I can use it:001_rolle.

[sachin]

These arrived in the mail yesterday thanks to Telly :biggrin:

[Hanspleasure]

Here's my contribution.. British #66 with unique case :biggrin:

[Gosh90]

SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!:w00t:

[doleeo]

High School Graduation Weekend for me.

Of course, shaving items were on top of the list. (Who needs a computer in college when you have a 2 band Polo 8?)

From my parents I will hopefully receive:

2 band Polo 8 in super
Kentucky Scuttle, Valobra stick, Booster's Polar Ice
Penhaligon's Blenheim and Floris Elite

My girlfriend bought me some Trumpers Violet soap in a wooden bowl.

And some of the cash will be going to some Musgo A/S and maybe a Straight and Strop (and maybe a laptop)

I'll post pics when they all have arrived.

The ship came in for me on Monday, 3 packages.

From a Trade:
1 tub Tryphon Barbershop soap
1 tub Tryphon Limes shave cream

From a purchase:
1 Schick M model adjustable injector

From an ebay seller:
4 8oz bottles of Royall Aftershaves
Lyme
Mandarin
Muske
Spyce

The Muske is much better than expected.

[jkh]

Congratz!

I only wish Charles would offer the 38-style handles in more knot sizes :rolleyes:

No doubt! My ideal brush would have been the a (mythical) 3822. I damn near ordered the 3722, but the handle on the 38 was sooooo much more to my liking.

[Dr. Mike]

Castle Forbes Lime Shave Cream

[Gosh90]

Stopped on my way home from taking the kids to school.

[SmoovD]

Thanks to James (texcattlerancher) and my beloved New York Football Giants I was gifted a new tube of Musgo last night. It sure was nice to win the Super Bowl. Who needs a diamond encrusted ring when Musgo is available?

[rodd]

Stopped on my way home from taking the kids to school.

You always seem to find them in groups of 3! I am pretty sure I have every antique store near by cleared out, and I rarely have found more than 1. Nice finds!

Very nice Ray. Nice photos too! I need to read some of those photography threads.

I went home today to pick up my red tip rocket (THANK YOU CHRIS!) and my SCS group buy package!!! Yippee!

I also found the grab box pass around from TSD, so I got a couple goodies there, and am passing a bunch of stuff that does not see much use.

[Private Pwnage]

on the left is a dubl duck special no. 1 ($8.00)
and on the right is a W&B ($6.00)
the W&B is gonna need a rescaling due to cracks and a missing metal bit.

[MTgrayling]

I found the Pot 'O gold today!

I got my first good kitchen knife today following Ouch's advice, its a gorgeous Shiki Japanese damascus chef's knife with a blade measuring just over 7" (180mm) in length. What a beauty!

and a really old Pal hollow ground display. I may try these, they aren't stainless but are coated in a bunch of grease and show no rust anywhere.

I am having a decent day! stopped at another antique store after work, picked up a black handle ss, (believe it or not my first) and a G-Bar! :biggrin:

I also looked through a big bag of pins he had, found a couple neat ones, then I found a Judas Priest one that had a logo of a hand holding a double edge blade, then another, well, anyway, I bought all 6 of them. :wink: I will post pictures when I get my camera back.

(A vintage blade sampler from Tacobell. Thanks!! This will be fun! :w00t:)

I received the very same sampler pack today as well from David (Tacobell) as well. I agree, this ought to be a bunch of fun to try.
Thank you David and to you Chris for letting me borrow your picture of my stuff...:biggrin:

Pecksniffs "Leather" Shaving cream

RRP: £35
TXMAXX: £7.99

Approval, can't wait to give it a try, shame I've already had a shave =/

[Dr. Mike]

I found a wonderful little shop downtown yesterday (for anybody in Columbus, check out Luxe de Vie in the Short North, 720 N. High St.) that carried Musgo Real products, Provence Sante products, Jack Black products, Bond No. 9, and a very large selection of Creed fragrances for men and women.

I picked up a new tube of Musgo Real shave cream and a bottle of the Aqua de Colonia #2 Oakmoss fragrance. I also got some Creed samples (Green Irish Tweed and Silver Mountain Water).

Oh my :w00t:
I had this brush on my wish list in Best, then that sale at The Gentleman's Shop came up...
I can't wait to try it.

[MTgrayling]

Thank you Chirs (MTGrayling) for looking out for me, pictures as promised.

Whoa, did I pass on that beauty!? :001_smile

Congratulation's Ram that is one nice Regent/Senator!

[MTgrayling]

I finally, after decades of cooking, have a decent pair of knives. The proper tools to do what I've been struggling with for years! I also got a nice little lockback folder VG-10 with Titanium scales that should be the perfect pocket knife.

A Shun paring knife and an ultra slim A.G. Russell Titanium locker.

Finally!

It was a good week...

NOS Superspeed that belonged to my grandfather,
My first Rolls,

Liquid Smoke! The best malt out there, bar none.

edit: I think it more polite to say: MY favourite malt.. :blush:

[SmoovD]

Yesterday I went to the neighborhood grocer to pick up a few items. I usually swing by the hygiene aisle because they carry a good deal of old-time products that I just haven't found anywhere else. For example, this is where I buy my Florida Water- priced with a felt-tip marker at $3.50. I spied a little bottle of Sanbourn's Orange Blossom Cologne. It is a light splash that although intended for the ladies (and in fact my SWMBO took command of my bottle) I will go back to pick one up for me. For $2.98 it can hardly be beat!

I love Neroli water... granpa always sprayed himself with that to refresh his visage.
