Thanks. Sorry for sniping you.:001_smile

Excellent looking Single Ring and case...Nice score.

Thanks guys! I actually saw this one at an antique shop last summer. I visited the same shop today and knew that I wanted to buy it this visit. I think that I will leave the razor in its vintage silver patina. I will scan the instructions (the English section) and post them to the Safety Razor instructions section soon.

I was watching it but did not bid on it because it looks like it has plate loss on the safety guard. Do update your post and let me know if it is really NOS.

[Hanspleasure]

That's a real beauty Scotty... one of my favorites also.
Here's one I picked up quite some time ago... I especially like the case and the red velvet lining.

[Antique Hoosier]

Received this jewel yesterday in the mail from a BST transaction with jmacpix (thanks so much!)

Nice Slim... what's up with the Bostonian (if you don't mind my asking)? That was a dbay score, was it not?

The bostonian had the four corner teeth bent and you could tell where someone had hit them because the metal was kinda flat, it had a crack in the handle (Normally I wouldn't mind so much, but I did because of the other problems), and the felt lining inside the case was redone by the seller and wasn't original.

[bythbook]

ah... too bad. Nice razor, the gold Bostonian. I'm looking for a gold New Improved.... And watched with envy that Bostonian go!

[scottydoint]

Just got one of these. The seller has one more left. Pm if you want the link.

[Kbennett]

Picked up an Aristocrat (no date code) and a '54 SuperSpeed that were both in mediocre condition for pocket change. However, after thorough cleaning and polishing the SuperSpeed looks brand new with the exception of a tiny spot of brassing on the handle, and the Aristocrat...well it won't ever be a collector's piece, but it should be a great shaving razor.

[Churchill]

Finally got around to putting up the antique shelf my wife bought me for Christmas to put some of my shaving items on.

You know Scotty, I had that one on "watch"...and then forgot about it somehow...I think it was on my second page.

When I saw what it went for I was sick! :cryin:

Now that I know it went to someone on the B&B its not so bad...:thumbup:

Major steal dude...major major! :biggrin:

That is in simply incredible shape sprescott...and with instructions? That's absolutely amazing in this day and age.

I have one on the way myself, but the case closure and snap are missing.

Awesome man.

[Starfury]

Well, I received my NOS Slim today as well as a gold bostonian set that I am sending back:frown::mad:


I sent a gold Bostonian back as well.

The seller said how nice it was, and the pictures seemed to uphold this.

Only when I got it, I was :eek:.

Seems the camera flash had concealed plating loss on the business-end all the way down to the core metal in four major spots.

The seller was cool enough to allow a return, however, and I was none too happy to comply. It's the first return I've ever had to make.

Peace

[Antique Hoosier]

Picked this up at a local Walgreen's in a Latin area of Tampa for $3.99. Nice light scent of bergamot,neroli,lemon,cloves,cinnamon,lavender,ros es and orange flower. Very very nice!

[Antique Hoosier]

The pictures speak volumes. The professionalism, skill and class of Ken at RupRazor. HIGHLY recommend him. The Heirloom W&B that turns out was the personal best razor of my Great Great GREAT Grandfather George Rook of Liverpool, England, who made his way to New Amsterdam, Indiana in 1857. I cherish this and many thanks to Ken who sent it presented in a velvet jewelry box! Note as well the work done on the Puma Special, Dubl Duck No. 1, and the Hunter & Sons 1830's Sheffield. AWESOME!

[jeffb]

Mike those look amazing! I've always admired the W&B's, if I ever give straights another go I'd love to try one.

[Disburden]

Just got this from Joe's Collectibles today. I am very excited to try it out or just look at it for a bunch of hours. $30.00 without case didn't seem too bad for me.

Very Nice, I've been looking for this but can't find it around anywhere.

Want to ship some north Mike?

BTW, those str8's came out beautifully. You must be besides yourself....Awesome...

[Starfury]

31-35 Goodwill, $18.49 shipped.
Didn't care much about the price...I wanted one in a box, no matter how ragged it is :wink:

As you can see there was still a Blue Blade in the razor, and there were two unopened in the box.

Mike that is a Great story, and the razors are wonderful to see!

[joshmpdx]

I bought a 16 oz bottle of Pinaud Clubman today for $6.55. i can't tell you how long it took me to make the decision to buy, because it's so embarrising.
however, what pushed me over the edge was the idea that if i can like this stuff and it's as powdery and wonderful as ive read, Per OZ. the price my aftershave collection will decrease significantly!

[Dustinl]

Today's aquisitions. Thank you for such a great product, Mama Bear!

[Churchill]

I received my new 2" Tony Miller tri-strop today and it is simply fantastic!
The strop has 3 components: Cotton,Latigo and horsehide. I was previously using one of Tony's 3" horsehide strops but it just seemed to wide for me.
The 2" suits me much better and the smaller size doesn't matter since I strop in an X pattern anyway.

I wish. I got that Aristocrat in and it definitely was never used. The razor is pretty pristine. And what looked like plating loss on the safety bars isn't although is slightly lighter there from resting in the box. I am very happy with it:biggrin1:

After that, my wife and I are hitting the road to a town that has antique shops. Hopefully I can post you guys some pics tomorrow nite. Scotty, have you seen the President up for auction?

Good luck w' the hunt. I did see that President and I am kinda kicking myself for not buying it when had it listed a couple weeks ago. It was a buy it now for $250 but the starting bid was $150 and I would have had the only bid.

That is a nice display. I am wondering what to do with my cased razors! Maybe something like that!:smile:

[prophetic_joe]

Here's my latest. The Khaki set is missing the lid to the blade case which if anyone has extra I would be interested in buying it or trading. The Gem is just a cool little travel razor. One of my favs though is the gold and black Tech. Don't even know if it has been used.

This is my first acquisition post!

I picked up:

3.85oz tube of Body Shop - Maca Root Shave Cream
(Tried this one out last night and had a very nice shave! Lots of lather and a pleasant scent)

11oz Bottle of Kiss My Face - Moisture Shave Cool Mint

Looking forward to further acquisitions!

Woke this morning to find a message in my inbox from Robert Williams. One day this week, I will be the very proud owner of one of his English Barber Classic razors in Damascus and Ivory. It will be a long week waiting for this beauty to arrive.

Another one from yesterday.. Stopped by the local Crabtree & Evelyn store and snagged this for $35..

http://www.nehp.net/~markbeem/Shaving/2009%20shaves/January/January%20gear/IMG_1360.JPG

GREAT brush!!! Stiffer pure badger hair.. Small knot.. Large handle.. Exactly what I was looking for!! :thumbup1:

Oh, and for anyone who's interested, my local store was restocked with men's products in all three lines (except for the Sienna soap but I was told they would be restocked in that too very soon).. So maybe they're not discontinuing the lines..

That is one of the best looking straights I've seen, congrats!

[Undream]

I picked up these at an antique shop this weekend. The Straight had a few small spots on the blade that quickly shined up. The '62 slim was NEARLY 100% BROWN when I bought it. I was sure that it was going to be rusted. Took me about 2 hours today to clean them both up, but, looking good now!

Now... I just need a hone and strop... ;)

Woke this morning to find a message in my inbox from Robert Williams. One day this week, I will be the very proud owner of one of his English Barber Classic razors in Damascus and Ivory. It will be a long week waiting for this beauty to arrive.

I picked up these at an antique shop this weekend. The Straight had a few small spots on the blade that quickly shined up. The '62 slim was NEARLY 100% BROWN when I bought it. I was sure that it was going to be rusted. Took me about 2 hours today to clean them both up, but, looking good now![...]For a vintage one the straight is downright gorgeous. Nice!

My first visit to the legendary Pasteur's (34th St) brought this:

sorry for the bad light - I'm trying to get ready for work!

fyi, Pasteur's weekday hours: 8 a.m - 7:00 p.m.

VERY nice people there - they were just getting into a box of GFT samples and were VERY generous!

Can't wait to visit the uptown store....

Very nice! Did you stop in at Cambridge Chemist too? It is only up one block. Now that's the place...

I'm pretty surprised that I won this NOS Aristocrat for $80 after shipping and insurance:w00t:

Very nice score- It's good to see the cardboard insert that went in the upper portion of that case.
