Acquisitions for July, 2014

Pecksniff Professional Lemon, Cedar and Amber Aftershave Balm. Picked it up at Winners over lunch for $5.99, seems like a pretty good deal. They had the "Classic" too, but it didn't appeal to me.



Any body else think this smells like a nicer version of The Body Shop White Musk for men?

Lemon, Cedar and Amber? That sounds interesting. I'll stop by my local Winners to check it out.

Another trip to Edmonton and a Gem lather catcher, a Gem Micromatic. I picked up a Vie-Long Cachurro Horse hair brush and a tub of Crown Shaving shave cream from the Shaving Kit, a small B&M in WEM.

I picked up a Slim Adjustable L2 - 32.30€ for the razor and 3.80€ delivery (at current exhange rates - it is $44 and $5)

Might be a little over the odd, but here in the EU they aren't so common, so it is always a trade-off between item cost and delivery costs............

Just got these in today's mail. Now I have to decide which blades to try first in the Lather Catcher and the MMOC.

Picked this up on the bay. I don't know much about it but I love the color.

Ikon DLC open comb.

Came home from my Germany trip today and found a bunch of packages waiting for me.

Antique mall find today

Great coloration. That will make a great restore.

Dr. Harris Arlington and Almond in the tubs.

I finally got a chance to sort through my latest box.
I think I went a little overboard. :icon_rolleyes:

Had a good day today. I'm on travel and did some shopping in Norfolk, VA.

Got a 30s NEW LC, needs some love due to a lot of plating loss. It also came complete with a blade installed, not a bonus in my book. I've been wanting to try a NEW for a while, since I love my Tech. This is my first open comb razor.

Also got an Ontario Cutlery Co., Geneva, NY straight. This is my first straight, excluding my Feather AC SS. The straight came with a coffin from a Wade and Butcher Sheffield. No, they didn't have that razor, I looked. I got this straight because I know I want to try my hand at restoring, and I want to get a few inexpensive vintage straights to restore. I don't see any hone wear and the blade looks straight to my untrained eye. I have done some woodworking, so I'm looking forward to making some scales for this one. I know I will leave the honing to the professionals.

I got both razors for $25, not a bad day. Sorry for the camera phone pics.

Found this at a local antique fair yesterday. A Gillette Canada utility blade. A perfect little pocket knife and it uses DE blades.

Day 2 of an estate sale, everything 50% off marked price



After a barbacide bath and a little scrubbing bubbles, Y3 Superspeed for $1.50

Nice score on the SS!

I think I will be swapping it for the Ranger Tech that my wife has commandeered for her shaving needs.

Quite a lot. I've been going a little crazy lately.
