[Dinder1]

Show us watcha got guys.

[Dinder1]

Picked up a few things while I was in Canada, and my Dorko 5/8 straight razor was waitng for me when I got home.

Dorko 5/8 straight razor
Noir De Feu shaving soap in ceramic bowl
Wilkinson SS
Florena SS
Brylcreem in a tub

[Suzuki]

Just won a lot on e-bay that included the following straights:

7/8 Thiers Issard Sheffield silver steel with wooden scales;
6/8 Dovo Swedish steel classic;
7/8 Wacker Bartman with what appear to be rosewood scales;
6/8 Henckels.

According to the description, the Thiers, Wacker and Henckels were all professionally sharpened within the last month.

The lot also included:

A Dovo linen/leather strop;
A Thiers padle strop;
White and yellow Dovo pastes (linen and leather dressing);
Syringes of 1 and .5 micron diamond abrasive paste
Norton 4k/8k hone.

Here's the link to the auction so you can see the pictures:

In talking to the company that sold the items, it appears that someone decided to try out straight shaving, spent a lot of dough on top quality stuff and then decided it wasnt' for them.

I can't wait for this stuff to arrive!

[Dinder1]

Wow! that is a awesome score, I am friggin Jealous:001_tt1:
Cheers, DJ.

FOUR packages in the mail today - two from the States, one from the UK and one from Germany:

-from Saint-charles, Missouri: cool limes soap, coconut cream and a soap that smells like glühwein to me (a gift from Sue, a very fine lady)
-Simpson PJ2 best
-TOBS Mr Taylor cream
-TOBS sandalwood cream (trying to forget Scotto's vivid description of the scent :rolleyes: )
-barber saloon rose soap (gift from TomH, a very fine gentleman)
-Nomad cream (thanks again to Rik, who worked things out).

A great day for me, and once again a moment to gratefully contemplate my luck in being a B&B member. :smile: :smile:

[Suzuki]

Cheers, DJ.

Thanks DJ. I was pretty pleased - I've never spent that much on an e-bay lot before, but I couldn't pass it up.

I've got hanging and padle strops, so will likely be looking to sell the ones in the lot.

Great score, Raf. Do go easy, at first. It's a whole different ball game.:thumbup1:


By the way- if your Shumate says Shumate Cutlery Co., it was made between 1920 and 1932. If it says Shumate Razor Co., St. Louis, it was made between 1904 and 1919. If it says Austin, Texas, then it's from 1900-1904.

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=4406

Although I always seem to get into trouble when I say this-

Nice rack! :rolleyes:


Do they make longer ones?

[PalmettoB]

I can't take all the credit. I got the idea from Quagmire.

http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6958

I didn't see a longer one in that style. They had one that had a lot more "pegs", but they were staggered, and while it would be great for a thin tie, it would get in the way of a razor handle.

Bought this one last week at Ebay, delivered today.
But I don't know how to use the mug correct???:confused: :confused:

Must I fill hot water inside and put the soap cake on the top where the holes are???
Sorry if this is a silly question...:sad:

Tom,

You have a scuttle. Yes, you keep a cake of soap on the top and fill with hot water. Your brush goes down the side opening to soak. A variety of soap makers make cakes that are designed to sit in a scuttle. T&H comes to mind first, but there are many others.

Enjoy!

A replacement Shavemac 220 (http://www.shavemac.com/index.php?lang=en&area=men&sel=2&cat=4&product=220&prod_id=1). My previous one was shedding hairs. I've really missed having a big, dense brush since the weather has turned colder. It's good to have it back.

Im glad I dont need to go for the barbershop to find that just hop into the local shops here. but then again the guys from the UK have way more choice when it comes to grooming supplies.

Hey Joe, I just picked up some Florena over the weekend, I think it is pretty darn good stuff for the $$.
Cheers, DJ.

[crackstar]

ohhhhh, gosh, yes, Florena's a heck of a good cream, you guys! It's the most popular one here in Canada. Ain't one single drugstore that doesn't carry it! :wink:

[TimmyBoston]

Landed a 50ml bottle of LP #9. The way things are going it may be the last one in captivity. I wonder if we sent in a petition here and possibly at basenotes and SMF, I wonder if we could get Penhaligons to change their mind on the discontinuation. Well, wishful thinking. I'm just thankful I was able to get some.

By the way- if your Shumate says Shumate Cutlery Co., it was made between 1920 and 1932. If it says Shumate Razor Co., St. Louis, it was made between 1904 and 1919. If it says Austin, Texas, then it's from 1900-1904.

Ouch,

I received the Shumate today. It does read St. Louis so it dates to 1904-1919. First straight shave tomorrow. I'll post before going into the OR for reconstructive surgery:biggrin: They have the good looking photo of me there already. :001_tt2:

Raf

[Scorpio]

Sorry for the poor quality photos I'm learning this posting photos deal..

This is my first straight a Shumate dating to 1904-1919.

Got quite a nice load:

Mama Bear's Rosemary and Mint
120g Shavex Alum Block (Sue again)

From eBay

3 DE's
1 Blue tipped Gillette Superspeed
1 Black handled Gillette Superspeed
1 Gillette Adjustable (I think it's a Fat Boy, I'm sorry, I don't have a fine knowledge of razors yet).

They all need to be cleaned and sterilized.

Nice haul, Joe. On the adjustable, if the bottom of the handle (the TTO, or twist-to-open part) is slightly larger around than the rest of the handle, it's a Fat Boy.

[webguru24]

Thanks for the info on the adjustable, I'll check them out and date code them once I have some time to clean them up. They all seem to be in decent condition, just cleaned, sterilized and oiled.

Today I recieved my package from Cottonblossom. I had gone with them to order and try out the feathers, but I added a few things... Ordering just one item is no fun right?

Anyway recieved:
100 Feathers
Weishi DE (not sure about this but I figure I'll play with it, seems like it has a decent heft from just holding it)
5 Dorco blades (came with the Weishi)
Muehle boar brush

Edit: oh yeah, also purchased a new lather bowl from World Market (I think it is supposed to be a Japanese rice bowl).

Some of it will probably make it into future pics (going to try doing pictoral SOTD if I get the time).

Package from Lee's Razor's Today!

Tulip 3 in Super - This is a great little brush. Very impressed!
Merkur Long Handle - A gift. It's nice to share the world of shaving!

Thanks Lee!

[Jack Bauer]

Works good huh....I've been looking at his stuff, and see your getting along with it pretty well?

How's the sandalwood smell?

Yea this Hydrolast stuff works way better than any creams/soaps I have tried. My skin loves it. This is my first sandalwood product so I am in no way an expert but it does smell very good. Much better than the Art of Shaving IMO, the only other sandalwood cream I have smelled. The tonic smells fantastic I just put some on combined with the conditioner after a french clay mask. I just saw that CAR raised the price of the sandalwood by $5 so I guess I lucked out and got it for a discount last weekend. With the mysore sandalwood oil (yes he uses the real stuff) becoming more rare it will continue to increase the cost as it is much harder to get from India.

Chris

[Jack Bauer]

Joe,

By the way. I am originally from Chicago. Born in Skokie raised on the North side then moved to Rockford. My cousin is a commodities broker on the Merc and has offered to help me get into if I decide to (I have a finance background). I have turned it down as I don't know if I want the stress. Do you enjoy trading options? I have studied futures/forwards and know that it can be pretty complicated stuff.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the comments/info on the hydrolast! I know I'll end up trying it one day...I've actually had my shopping cart loaded up to the gills a few times but just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

As for trading....never a dull moment. It can be a very rewarding experience, and definitely has its ups and downs. Trading options and/or commodities is the most volatile area of the market and can be extremely stressful. But you get used to it after a while. For me, now....its a rush.

Congrats ratch! Nice score... great looking brush!!

[crackstar]

Peter, seeing that you're in Holland also, you must know De Vergulde Hand shave soap. I have some, and I love it. Have you ever tried it, and if so, what do you think of it?

Jeff

[Jack Bauer]

Picked up some Oregon Soap Co. Tea Trea & Calendula soap and a bar of Kiss My Face pure olive oil soap.

Chris


Edit: Went on another trip and picked up:

Avalon Organics Tea Tree Shampoo
Tom's Peppermint toothpaste

[ratcheer]

Congrats ratch! Nice score... great looking brush!!

Thank you!

I can't wait to shave, tonight. I think the Fresh Lime is more impressive, while the Wild Orange is more subtle. I believe I'm going for the Wild Orange. :cool:

I have to choose a blade, too. US Personna is next in the rotation, but I think I'll go for an Israeli or a Derby. Or, maybe a Feather. :confused:

Tim

[Xert]

Careful with a Feather in a Vision. Easiest way to tear up your face this side of an Artist Club.

Okay. I think I'll stick with the normal rotation and start over with the US Personna. They are always pretty gentle.

Tim

[TraderJoe]

A Proraso Omega Boar

This one to wash my face with. I've been lathering my face wash and scrubbing my face with the one I already have. This way I'll have one to be used strictly for washing face, and one for shave soaps & creams. :eek6::crazy:

[surprisingly]

...so I won't have to throw my Proraso away when I switch to badger? In other words, a face wash brush will be my defensive argument when SWMBO tells me I have too much shaving stuff.

Just had these delivered:

Kiss My Face: Peaceful Patchouli, Lavender and Shea, and Peaches and Creme

[TraderJoe]

...so I won't have to throw my Proraso away when I switch to badger? In other words, a face wash brush will be my defensive argument when SWMBO tells me I have too much shaving stuff.


You could also mention that shaving brushes are investments that "hold" their value, and can be passed down to future generations. :thumbup1:

Enjoy the KMF's

[drP]

Peter, seeing that you're in Holland also, you must know De Vergulde Hand shave soap. I have some, and I love it. Have you ever tried it, and if so, what do you think of it?

Jeff


Jeff: simply: very nice indeed: lovely scent, good lubrication, good lather, low priced, available everywhere.... really perfect stuff!! (manufactured since more than 450 years...!)

Peter

[crackstar]

Peter, De Vergulde Hand is a soap that I treasure, in fact, after Erasmic, it's my second favorite. I even know what ook vor de gevoelige huid means in Dutch. It means also for sensitive skin, and believe me, this stuff treats my sensitive skin wonderful. When I lather up with it, and shave, it feels like soft, gentle kisses from my lovely wife!
