Acquisitions 22nd March - 28th March

I've just managed to win an auction for a wooden Richwood case. It comes with a gold fat handled Tech and gold blade case but I've actually got the right razor and blade case at home for it so I'll be able to make up a complete set. It's nice to be able to put back sets of razors and cases. Hopefully they'll never be seperated again.

I recently bought a nice gold St Dupont lighter but I'm struggling to find the proper little gas cartridges to fill it. Luckily there's a bloke on eBay that makes an adaptor so you can fill the Dupont from a standard butane can.

its been a while: gillette set. $117 shipped.

Yeah, I have that one. My case is not in as nice condition as yours.
It's a great shaver and great looking kit.

Here we have a nice lapped Swaty hone.
An 11/16 Zak Solingen FH,
and a beautiful 5/8 Boker FH with barber's notch, ornate scales, and what appears to be ivory on the tang, circa 1900-1905(?). Sadly, the Boker is leaving me tomorrow for restoration.

A very nice E1 Fatboy arrived today.

That Boker looks amazing!

Congrats on the awesome score!

Picked up a few things in an antiques store.

2 Gillette SuperSpeeds, an Eversharp Schick Double Edge Razor, and a "Mister" Shaving Mug scuttle. All were $5 apiece.

The razors are ok. The eversharp has several nicks on the silo doors, and I think some plating loss on the sides of the silo. The Superspeeds are a bit better, and the scuttle needs some cleanin.

Overall not too bad.

There were a few other items of note at that store. Several Gems (I believe), straight razors with random cases, a ceramic razor bath, and a cased Auto Strop with out a tag. Unfortunately, the clerk couldn't sell the Auto without a tag, but she has my number so she can let me know when she gets a price for it.

Let me know if I ID a razor wrong, still new.

From a PIF sent to me Free of charge from Scott at Rasage Poulin, "Cuir" from a new line of cologne he is carrying from Paris "L.T. Piver".

Thank you Scott!!

This is a phenomenal Leather scent, i am very excited about it. it seems very straight forward right off the top. very surprising for a leather scent as i think of leather as a heart or base note, however as the heart note starts to come alive there is more going on and it becomes more dynamic. i went light and gave myself 6 sprays so it'll be another our or so until i start to see how this develops.

Edit, im now getting a little floral (jasmine maybe?) coming through. a nice contrast to the leather!

WHAT nos?! Nice find. Why the heck can't i find stuff like this.

Lots of time spent beach combing? or whatever trolling through vintage and thrift shops is called.

Actually I stumbled across these. I think it was the 3rd shop I ever went into looking for shaving items and there they were I cant wait for this weekend. I may find a Gold Mind

Wow. Love the Pall Mall and Butterscotch Ever-Ready. I would use them all, personally. That said, I prefer to enjoy things by using them, and can see how others would get enjoyment from displaying unused vintage items.
