For some reason, I've had a hard time picking one of these up, but this one came with a mug and I was the only one to bid on it. $6 for the brush and mug, but shipping was $10. Still seems reasonable to me. Before and after cleaning:

I was in picking up some DE's at my honey hole and saw one of these similar sitting in the corner and chuckled to myself

My favorite finds for February are this brush and this razor. The brush is apparently a J. Peterman, found it at an antique store. Another member had one he'd had for years and said it was about $60. It's solid brass, super heavy with a badger knot. Help me out on this razor... I thought it was a Nickel-plated NEW, but it has a head like an OLD-Type, then I realized it's smaller than a NEW and doesn't say Gillette anywhere on it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

A small Plisson ( size 8 ) , it have some years old since the logo is different from now, and the price tag is in Francs . I am not sure about the hair grade but its a very good little brush.

I came across this razor today, it seems to be a DE disposable. It is unused and it seems to have a weighted handle that rattles when you shake it. I have never seen one like this. Does anyone have any info, if it opens I can't figure it out.

I don't know, man. Fisher Price or Playskool?

couldn't resist.

**Trenton** · 02-23-2011, 02:35 PM

Actually that is what I thought when I first saw it, but it has a blade in it.

**Legion** · 02-23-2011, 06:00 PM

Have you tried a screw driver down that hole in the handle? It might have a screw?

It looks like Japanese style design from the late 60's, early 70's. Can't be sure though.

**buddydog** · 02-23-2011, 06:08 PM

I got this whole back row of old spice for 1.00 each today in my hunting spot.
The man said they had been hit hard recently by shaving stuff buyers.Looks like I don't have it to myself anymore.

I looked down the handle no screw, what I'm thinking it might in a medical prep razor???

My guess was Japanese as well, very well made and almost too good to be disposable, but then I found this picture.

I can see medical prep as a bit higher quality. If anyone knows please speak up.

Today I got some cool stuff at a couple antique stores in town I hadn't tried yet.

A nice black painted wood handled aluminum brush that reads "Design Pat #48050 Heldtite". On the bottom is a letter "K" which I believe someone carved into it long ago.

I also got the Gillette DE (no date code) from/for Brasil and it's in great shape. I picked it up for $4.00! What kind is it, by the way?

Third, I picked up this wrapped box of 50 double edge blades, which I have no idea what they look like or how old they are! This was $5.00!

And last, my new straight I got just for the purpose of this thread! It was tagged for $10. I bargained with the owner and took the Brasil-Gillette (tagged for $4) and this busted-up razor for $10.00 cash. That means I paid only $6.00 for this. I'm stoked to have this blade as resto challenge!

I just looked up the patent on the Holdtite brush. The patent was granted for 3.5 years starting October 26, 1915. Wow, this thing is almost 100 years old!
