FS: Newbie kit, RazoRock La Famiglia+Semogue, Vie-Long LE Horse Hair Brush

**insomniac** · 06-03-2012, 12:38 PM

Three things for sale today.

** Reduced price on the Newbie kit **

#1: A newbie kit.

The razor is a '40s-style Superspeed, date code Z-1 (1954 Q1.) There is brassing on the handle but the head is in great shape, and of course it is a terrific shaver. It has been disinfected using Scrubbing Bubbles.
Brush is the original Shea Moisture brush in black badger, with two rubber washers to help stiffen it up (easily removed.) This wasn't used very much. I used a bit of diluted Barbicide to disinfect.
The creams are RSC Moisturing and Sensitive, both used about twice. They're made by Creighton's who also makes most of the English creams (TOBS, T&H, Trumpers) so this is a top-performing cream.
Aftershave is Master Lord and Master, used about three times. It's a nice powdery smell similar to Clubman.
I'm also throwing in a packet of Astra and Shark blades, and perhaps some other surprises.
Also included (not pictured) is a barely used 2oz sampler of Ogallala Bay Rum Cologne.

Price is $40 shipped, CONUS only due to alcohol.

#2: RazoRock La Famiglia plus Semogue 830 SOLD

This is the entire La Famiglia/TFS line that RR offered. All four soaps and all four balms.

All balms have been used once.
Nonno Michelino and Zi' Peppino soaps have been used once.
Don Marco was used once plus an additional test lather.
Cumba Cheech was used twice.

If you are using Marco's Method, then it's hard to do better than an 830 which is also included. This brush has been broken in and so has the trademark backbone + soft tips. It also took a brief dunk in heavily diluted Barbicide.

Price shipped CONUS is $65. This package weighs 2 pounds 13 oz so shipping alone is going to be over $11. If you are outside CONUS, you can PM me but it will not be cheap to ship.

#3: Vie-Long LE Horse Hair Brush SOLD

This is the LE beehive brush that Bullgoose had a few months ago. I've used it a few times but haven't warmed up to it. I haven't disinfected the brush since it is so new, I can if you want but that means it will take an additional few days to ship since I'll want to dry the brush thoroughly first. Comes with the brush stand and original packaging.

Price shipped CONUS is $42. If you are outside CONUS, ask me for a shipping quote.
