I returned home last night to find a Slant in my mailbox.

Arrived last night by personal courier:

Just received this nice grooming kit. Not a very good picture, but everything in it is in MINT condition.. the only slight sign of wear is on the leather case itself. The razor included is an English Gillette Tech.

Erasmic Soap Bowl and tube of Ingram and some sample blade paks. Thanks Giovanni !

Mighty cool looking brush!

So they stopped making soaps and are in the brush business?

A 1952 - 54 HD Rocket
It is a double ring, and heavier than my other English Super Speed.
1952 (X1) Gold Super Speed.
It is gold, but much lighter shade than my Milord examples. That may just be wear as the 3rd ring (from the bottom) on the TTO is almost invisible.

These are my ID's, if anyone can correct me I would be grateful.

Late Arrival: 1918 Triple Silver Plated American Button Company Gillette Pocket Edition (Basket Pattern)

NOTE: Pictures taken in sunlight and white balance set appropriately.

We could only dream. This is a vintage brush, produced by Simpson some time ago.

I'm just hoping it doesn't shed!

Nice score John! What are the vital stats on that little beauty? Looks like maybe 20-22mm?

From Colleen/Soapmistress/TGQ:

1 each of small SC's: leatherneck & orange-pachuli (sp).
