I ordered a lot of razors off of Ebay particularly because the Fatboy was my father's birth quarter and I thought that was kind of cool(D4.) The lot had 11 razors but these are the only ones I'm interested in keeping and it really has all of the vintage razors I wanted to try except maybe a red tip. I made the case yesterday.

Nice haul Clint

August keeps getting better......

Thank you. It's a fabulous handle and I love the natural white horse hair. I will have my first shave with it tonight. Can't wait.

Guess I lost my mind.........Appleton Barber order arrived today, I guess I'm well stocked for some time.

The Coolcut has landed!

August keeps getting better. A few more soaps, a new bowl, and filled a gap in the Old Spice Mug department.

I was pleased with a strop that I got from them so I decided to dive in for a wallet too! This thing is awesome!

My Tech collection just gained another member...Canadian D-shaped slots.

Thanks Robert!!!

Old Spice glass Mug v 01 from the late 40's-early 50's and a vintage silverplate scuttle and matching silver plate brush handle that the bristles have long since disappeared. The mug I will keep, but not sure about the scuttle. It is nice but I face lather and really don't need something hanging around I won't use. I know without pictures this is useless, but then so am I at times.

Just snagged a few items today:

Family Dollar Old Spice & Brut splashes
100% Glycerin
Ramekin dish for soap
Dopp kit bag

That goes along with

GEM Micromatic
Ever-ready C40 brush
Ogallala Bay Rum Lime & Peppercorn shave stick and aftershave, plus cologne and samples
'62 Gillette Slim Adjustable
Two Whipped Dog brushes

Yikes.

I'm not sure if the rules are ordered or received in August but...

Gem G-Bar
Weber Bulldog handle

300 more GSB and #66 Aristocrat. Yeah!

I stopped at an estate sale on the way home from work today and picked these up for a total of 75 cents. Hopefully they will clean up well, if not it's no big deal.

I'll triple your investment! Lol. Congrats on the find!

Had some more luck at another estate sale today. Picked up a short handled Super Adjustable, a NDC fat handled Tech and a pair of Super Speeds.
