Yes, sir. However, it's supposedly not the typical Finest hair.

I scored on these together recently on ebay. I just received them and cleaned them up a little bit. There are two older techs that I haven't dated yet, a 1954 SS, and the prize is a Gillette Algonquin dated on the handle Jan 13, 1920. Thanks to Papasmurf for identifying that for me.

I am to tired to enjoy the brush tonight- so I will get up extra early to give it a workout.

Just curious - what is the difference between the Algonquin and a Bostonian? Color?

I am not sure myself being a newbe in this hobby. I need to get the book so I can identify these nice goodies. Here is a better picture. It is used so I will be trying it out with a new feather soon.

from L'Occitane. They are having a Buy 2 Get One Free on their soaps. Not bad considering they are $12 a piece. I bought 2 Verbena and decided to try their Lavender. The Verbena is a great soap, especially in the summer and then use their Verbena edt afterwards. Great summer scent.
