Thanks. Rad can be a dangerous thing. The secret is not to look for razors but I can't help myself. Like a good score !!

Yea That is 3, This one is a nice project

I am very happy with this silver Empire set! It is in phenomenal shape. It's also the first razor I've acquired that has a repair SN on it. They must've done a great job, too. For the life of me, I cannot see what repair was done.

A-ma-zing pocket set. Have fun!

Oh, I shall! It's getting wet in the morning!

Thanks!

A 162 Goodwill, Congrats. I used my newly acquired 162 this morig and had a great shave.

Right place at the right time!

Hope it cleans up nice !!

The Bostonian.

This just arrived today. Great shape and even included a few bonus sets of vintage blades I wasn't expecting.

Very nice! Congrats!

Nice Bostonian set!

Another addition to the collection.
SS flare tip B4
$2 at an estate sale
Got an H2 slim adjustable also but already have one so.......

Here's my latest find, at a seaside market at Queenscliff in Vic, Australia.
It's an Arden Forest, bakelite, probably 1940s or 1950s -- I find it a great little razor, very smooth, but giving a closer cut even than my new Futur adjustable or my Gillette Fat Boy or Slim. Closest I guess to a Tech, but gets closer to the skin.
It's not the most handsome of razors but gives a great result. It comes in a very smart little folding leather case. Inside the case is a model number, C143.
The base plate of the shaving head says 'made in England' in very small letters, and a reg. number which my eyes can't make out.
Any info on these would be appreciated. I did post this first in the general area but from now on will stick to this thread for new purchases ....
The pics show it alongside my Futur for size comparison. The large shaving soap in the pic comes from Naples .. I couldn't resist the fab ceramic bowl when I saw it in a shop in Rome a couple of months back...

Another Flat Bottom Brit with a neat case. Need to swap out the handle and I will be ready to shave

It's a mismatch, but nice score! Congrats. [emoji106]
