Acquisitions September 15 - 21

[Suzuki]

Let's see your goodies for the week!

[masonjarjar]

A Body Shop Synthetic brush.
A pack of Bic Metals (just for kicks, but the first shave with one was NOT impressive..)

[Poulin]

Just a few things. Not too much.

[masonjarjar]

Gee, like Clubman much? That's got to be several years' worth, even with daily use.

[Stauff]

Tabac bath and shower gel :biggrin:

[thirdeye]

This very nice 1919 Gillette Decollete' just landed on my desk about 15 minutes ago. I can't wait to get it home and polish it up this evening.

Sweet!

[rodd]

Very cool Ray. I need to start having deliveries come to the office, I wait all day like a sucker.

Edit: oh, and Scott, I am camping at your mailbox hoping to intercept a package you have coming. Heck, a couple packages you have coming!

Very well!! Got a close to BBS with this razor.
Gonna use this one for the next weeks.

[Poulin]

I had another large bottle in addition to the ones that made it into the pic, but gave it away.

I do have more Clubman though. Yup, I like it.

[wchnu]

Ray and Erwin you both made the Bunny Jealous.. Nice razors.

At least you will look and smell good for the funeral. :001_smile

I have a Rooney 1 Small Black in Finest Badger en route from Jim.

[rodd]

I Got my Tuckaways


(Bites fist...) Very nice. Congratulations!

[Btheis]

I have a beautiful slant purchased today from Zenon heading my way, and 250 feathers purchased off feebay. Should be quite the combo.

[scottydoint]

(Bites fist...) Very nice. Congratulations!

Rodd, you should have seen the case to silver one when it came. It took a good 40 min of polishing it. It was a greyish blue color and I almost thought that was the original color. I'll be on the look out and let you know when I see another.

[scoopster]

Looks like the gold one was once owned by James Bond and stopped a bullet for him!

[castlecraver]

This is my first shaving purchase in a long, long, lonnnnnnnnng time

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=14085

From Charles @ QED: QEDMan Lime shave stick, SR 4232 brush stand (for my Shavemac 28mm), and Trumper's GFT cream tube

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

Packages have been slow. There should be a lot more that is on the way.

Here is today's package.. It was a set of 2 SS that I got cheap. The one on the left I figured would be a loss, the one of the right I thought would clean up OK.

Before cleaning:
30453

After cleaning:
The one on the right cleaned up very well. The one on the left has extensive plating loss. However, it is now gunk free.

[AsylumGuido]

Okay ... I have been amiss by not keeping up with acquisition listings. Well, this one deserves a little post I think. I skipped lunch and hit a couple of favorite "hangouts". :biggrin:

Left to right ... Gold 1919 Old Type Standard, '48-'50 Milord, 1965 Aristocrat Adjustable, WWII issue Star, 1960 Tech.

http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj307/AsylumGuido/9-17Haul001.jpg

Most of these poor rescued razors will be looking for new homes.

[Tinkerputzer]

Arrived home from a week of around the world work traveling to find this. A Y3 President! I took a risk and bought it in a lot. Quite risky considering the picture I had to go by. All in all it cleaned up very nicely and it shaves even better :001_smile

[wtruitt]

This beautiful 70 gr Leresche (French) I got today and it's going to be used in half an hour:biggrin:EXCELLENT!!!!!!

[SamCracker]

Just got this off the bay, said a part was missing so I bid hoping to use the head to convert my Merkur 23c to open comb. The missing part, upper handle, was inside the bottom handle.:w00t: Too nice to use the head on the Merkur. :tongue_sm

Very nice! Is that a Hoffritz?

[prewt]

90 + crystal blades & La Toja SC, Gem G bar and 8 Gem SE blades, a few samples of EDTs [ all three from B&B members tyvm ] and from QED... Bay Rum SS, atomizer bottles, Jazz bath soap and Ranger bath soap.

[SamCracker]

Very nice! Is that a Hoffritz?

I think it's a Merkur travel razor, It's very similar to what they sell now in a little black pouch. It just says made in Germany.

[Bluestaco]

Great birthday score, thanks to my wife (okay, the Glock was kind of my idea, but the Edwin Jagger brush and the pen & pencil set were her):

:cool:

Yup, that very same Rhodium Plated American Classic! Late 40's-Early 50's! Arguably the most beautiful American one-piece Gillette.

Life is good.

:biggrin:

[rodd]

:w00t::drool: I likey!

[wtruitt]

[AsylumGuido]

Yup ... very, very good.

:cool:

[wtruitt]

WOW.. beauty.. (and excellent photo's btw)..

[wtruitt]

I'm going to cheat and post this in the current week acquisitions.. since I haven't received. I started B&B w/ a vengeance..going from 0 razors to 28 razors in 3 weeks. My wife was kind enough to suggest the loss of my marbles, so I sold and pif'd till I was down to 5. Even confessed to fellow B&B'r Rodd that I was NOT collecting..

Well.. like a gambler placing his last bet before attending gamblers anonymous.. I hit the bid button today on this puppy on ebay.. I knew i wouldn't win..

It's on it's way now:

and.. as I said in the other thread.. I can quit anytime!

[merwtje]

VERY NICE, Wayne!!!!!
Of course you can quit anytime:001_smile

[BJC]

:w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t:

Nice scores everyone. After a hiatus from antiquining, I might have to hit a few stores next week.

BJ

[wtruitt]

VERY NICE, Wayne!!!!!
Of course you can quit anytime:001_smileThx Erwin.. figure that one will end up on B/S/T at some point.. I try to only buy what I will use now.. some reason, I was drawn to this one..
Wayne

[AsylumGuido]

Okay, here's the 1919 Old Type Standard from yesterday. I can see this one earning a regular spot in my rotation. :biggrin:

[scottydoint]

did they make those in brass? I have one that is brass, but maybe all the plating came off?

[AsylumGuido]

Nope, only nickel, silver or gold for those Old Types. You must have one that was over-polished, Scotty. Although, it shouldn't make it any less of a shave. :wink:

[scottydoint]

I like GOOOOOOLLLLLLLD

[wtruitt]

Holy Moly.. That is neat. Looks like a gold travel merkur slant?

[chimes13]

you sure have purty nails Scotty..... :tongue_sm :lol:


(I know where the pic is from)

[scottydoint]

[lamontqsanford]

Okay here is a 1928 (thanks for the help Guido) Gillette Bostonian.

That is one fine slant. Nice find :thumbup1:

I don't know much about these, except that they were distributed by the Peter J. Michel's company (distributor of C-MON razors among others). No idea who manufactured them. I love the translucent red scales, they look ten times better in person.

[Eagle]

Pirates Cove lime and coconut shave pucks. Gotta love the cheap price and cheaper shipping. Added a bit of after market glycerin and they shave pretty decent. They really smell nice.

No pics needed. Pucks is pucks right?

[piperjason]

yesterday a local festival I got a 1964 gillette adjustable for $5. I believe it to the slim model. No pictures yet but it cleaned up nicely.

[wchnu]

I have one very simular on the way. Can not wait to try it.

Have you shaved with these razors? I really liked the red transparent scales.

[Mejnoon]

Not yet, but I intend to!

[wchnu]

This came in today. WOOHOO!!

[Eagle]

This came in today. WOOHOO!!

The bunny gets mail on Sunday??? What'd you bribe the mailman?

[ECOSSE]

I picked up this bad boy at a Flea Market today for $2. A '56 Super Speed. I asked the guy if he ever comes across many DE razors. He just rolled his eyes and said "No way, you'll cut your face up!'

I kindly gave him the two bucks and was on my way. I'm quite please at how its shining up after a little polishing.

[rodd]

I have had a fairly good week, unfortunately I have been waiting a long time for most of this stuff to show up, and got about 5 razors/cases that were broken. :( It is a gamble, you win some, you lose some.
