are you sure about the dating of the Fat Boy? I´ve never seen a 1957 ("C") FatBoy - or is it a "G" for 1961?

were off topic i wanna talk razors so im gonna shut up

**Jaymo** · 05-13-2010, 11:23 AM

No need to shut up. We're all friends here. We all share a love of a good shave and a good deal.
my latest deal was an ebay lot of 5 oldies for 7 bucks plus 6 bucks shipping. And they all looked a LOT better after scrubbing bubbles than they did in the pic. I only bought the lot for the ball end Gillette Old. The rest is icing.
Can't beat your score, though.

I'm going to have to go to more junk/antique/thrift shops and try to find some useful junk.
Maybe the flea markets, too. There used to be a LOT more antique stores in metro Atl than there are now.
Went to Wal-Mart to pick up a prescription today and got some VdH DeLuxe shave soap pucks and a bottle of AV musk AS to try. I already knew I liked VdH soap. Dunno about the AV musk. I like it in that it reminds me of my Uncle Greg.
I think he must have worn it when I was a boy.
Down side is it kind of reminds me of hairy chested, gold chain wearing, shirt unbuttoned halfway to the navel, disco dudes from the late '70s.
No offense to anyone here who may have resembled this description at one time. It's just not quite for me.

Anyway, I was looking at shaving accoutrements and thinking how lucky we are to be using brush/soap/safety razor, instead of expensive carts and products full of ingredients requiring a degree in chemistry to understand.

I think I'm just going to buy all the old razors that tickle my fancy and sell off whatever I don't want to keep.

Waffle and steak. Would that be the Waffle House and Steak 'n Shake? I could go for some hash browns served hot by a waitress with more tattoos than teeth. And a Steak 'n Shake milkshake sounds good, too. Just can't eat their burgers. Too greasy for me. (blasphemy, I know)
