Cased 30's Gillette New & 5 Tallow-Version Erasmic Sticks

[Deftim13]

Great scores this week everyone.
Here is my latest, a late 1800's 22" full Copper Towel Steamer.
I needs a good cleaning and polishing.

That thing looks like a torture device. Very nice find!

It looks like it could so some serious damage to the face... or any other part of the body. It almost looks like it could kill you just from looking at it the wrong way .

Got it very cheap. Not cased but in pretty good condition. I had a first shave with it last night! Mmmmmmm

[Fairchild86]

I just got these today, can't wait to try everything out.

[r0ckrat]

I was looking at that too, but I forgot about it he he!

What you got there is a Bostonian... how you can tell?
by the patent code (Jan 13 1920 U.S.A.) between the handle and the knob.
Bostonian, Richwood, and another models (except new) had the PAT. N° there.

Here's a Thread and also some pictures if you like.

Ray, great vintage barber chair! Where do they sell items like that? Some day I would love to have something like that. I can envision a recreation of a 1900 Turn of the Century barber shop in the corner of my basement. But I'm not sure my wife can picture that!! Sweet!!!

Welp, just pulled the ebay trigger on a Lady Gillette for $15 after shipping. I really wanted to buy it here on B&B but all these one-minute sales are killin me, but hey at least you know its an active community. After a cleaning, the Lady will be quite happy with the new razor.

Here it be

'68 N-4 - Good to Excellent (Dont let the hood fool you)



and a pic of the new owner (she will yell at me for this, yes its purple)

[Millay]

final question thirdeye, do you plan to fire it up even if its only once?

[herbnerd]

Barber pole handle, open comb, 'original blades', booklet and metal case with blue lining....

For under NZ$40 (a little under US$20). I will have to photograph this beauty when SWMBO gets back from Samoa & Tonga.

I am the new owner of two of Susie's soaps thanks to her weekly PIF.
The Coconut Lime Verbena will be tested out this morning and I will save the Spearmint for a day when I really need an eye opener.

Thanks Susie

And after a little TLC:

Nice cleanup job! Love these before/after pics!

[thirdeye]

OK so I went a little nuts today and scooped up a bunch of beauties for my showcase.......I wonder what the wifes going to say...(nothing, just "the look" is my guess).

Here they are, A "New" Traveler w/shipper, a Regent Tech case w/40's Aristocrat (Needed the case), A Red Tip w/hang card, A #66 w/shipper and price ticket, a #21 and a #22.

A good day all in all....
