Acquisitions for July 2011

[Gustav]

I just received This Erik Anton Berg 6/8 in the mail today.

Being Swedish I am quite partial to swedish razors and that particular one is a beauty. Nice score!

[SRock]

My hottest score in July! I said for years I'd have a Fatboy and now I do!

My father was recently traveling in Turkey and I asked him to pick me up a some Derby shave cream and he picked up 4 tubes since it was so affordable. The cologne is something I remember from when I was in Ankara about 6 years ago. They use it almost like a hand sanitizer/deodorant/all around tonic. Most often its lemon (I still have a large bottle of it) but I also remembered a tobacco variety and asked him to pick that up as well. My first impression is that it is much more floral than I remember.

Hello!!
I have curiosity. Which is the price of these products in Turkey?
Thanks and greetings from Spain!

Generally I think Simpson brushes are dull looking, and it is not many of their handle designs I like, but they are quite hyped, so I fell in and have just received a Persian Jar in super badger, now I'll have to see if the hype is right ;o)

I also lacked to try the last of the three T's - Trumper, so an Eurics soap went in as well.

Beautiful fatboy, one of of my all time favourite HD models...though the street-glide is the one I lust for the most!! Ride safely and in good health!

Thanks, I also like the Street Glide and in fact was building a deposit on one but when this deal fell in my lap I was able to purchase cash, had I waited for a Street Glide I would have had a payment.

Found these together at a local antiquer. Gillette ball end tech, mystery Gillette travel razor (looks like an old type head?), a Schick injector, and an old-fashioned shaving scuttle.

An Eclipse Red Ring, cased with instructions. It needs a clean and polish but overall seems to be in excellent condition.

[hitemfrank]

Very nice James. Was that an ebay buy or did you manage to find it locally?

[Rudy Vey]

Floris Elite and JF colognes, both came today!

I stumbled upon it on an on-line store (not ebay) a few days ago and couldn't believe my luck!

Just got this little beauty in the mail:





A 5/8 Torrey with a barber's notch tip, scales in mottled browns. Photos are the original seller's.

It'll get a good stropping and workout tomorrow morning -- because my strop from Whipped Dog Straights arrived at the same time! A twofer at the mailbox, w00t!

Pretty cool find!

My father was at a knife convention way up in the great north, and picked up a few goodies for me!

An eye for quality and bargains seems to run in the family.



The strop is a Faultless No.50 Belt Strop. Patented in 1882, don't know when this one was made. American-made.

On the left:
#1: Bengall, I think the scales are bone. Says A.-Bol. Borlänge Maskinaffär (A.-Bol. Borlänge Machine store) on one side and Bengall on the other.
#2: Machenbach & Benz, has a small inlay of pearl(?) on the other side. Solingen-made.
#3: Horseshoe No.26, this one almost took my arm off then I tried it on my arm hair, made in Eskilstuna, Sweden
#4: J.A Hellberg, says Sweden42 on the tang, made in Eskilstuna, Sweden

On the right:
#1: Paul Waldmin, Weger-Solingen
#2: J.A Hellberg, scales made from bone I think, made in Eskilstuna, Sweden
#3: Horseshoe #102, made in Eskilstuna, Sweden
#4: J.A Hellberg, bone scales, made in Eskilstuna, Sweden

Center:
#1: Horseshoe No45, made in Eskilstuna, Sweden
#2: Erik Anton Berg, made in Eskilstuna, Sweden.

Quite the haul, eh gents?

Edit: I'm also waiting to pick up my shipment from Ogallala at the post during the week!
