FS: Soap lot and Straight Razor Maintainance kit

**Galengwath** · 08-20-2012, 09:56 PM

In order to simplify my shave den in preperation for the arrival of my fourth child, I would like to offer the below lots for your consideration. I would prefer selling these items as lots, to simplify the process and consolidate shipping, but might consider splitting them if no one is interested.

SOLD! Soap Lot - $75 CONUS SOLD!

First up is a lot of 7 soaps, including Mitchell's Wool Fat, Sienna, Tabac, Cade and a 3-pack of Honeybee Spa Soaps (Triple Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla). Most of these have only been used a few times, with 95% of each puck remaining. The sole exception is MWF, which probably has between 85-90% remaining, though it had dried out and been rehydrated a couple of times. Included are all the bowls and tins shown in the below picture. The Honeybee Spa soaaps, Tabac and Cade have all been milled into these nice tins from Ikea that I use for most of my soaps. All of these soaps and bowls together would cost in excess of $100 retail, not including shipping and if someone would like the lot I will pass them along for $75 including shipping. If you buy the lot I will throw in an additional unopened puck of C&E Sandalwood shaving soap or a bottle of Gentlemen's Refinery Aftershave Balm (~25% remaining).

Straight Razor Sharpening Kit - $40 CONUS

Having purchased a coticule to maintain my straights, I would like to pass along this kit. It includes a Poor Man Strop and CROX balsa kit courtesy of Larry at Whipped Dog, a small barber's hone and a bottle of SRD .5 micron diamond spray that can be applied to linen to touch up edges. The balsa has only been used twice, the diamond spray has been used once, and the strop is free of nicks or cuts. A great kit to experiment with several different ways of maintaining a straight razor edge.

Now that's a serious soap lot. Why.. why must shipping from US to Australia (very important country) be so expensive.

Interested in the MWF and Cade if you decide to break up the lot.

Are those sold as soap dishes at Ikea?

Nope, they're just miscellanous little tubs with magnets on the back, sold as spice tins. Stainless steel, I believe, and they're the perfect size for a puck of English soaps. Other soaps I mill into them.

They are Grundtal containers and they are in the kitchenware department. See the link here: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80102919/ Unfortunately, you can't order them online, you have to go to the store. I use them and they are perfect for shaving soap.
