Since I didnt have room for a christmas tree, santa put my present up on that notorious auction site. I been wanting one of these for a while, even though I almost never shave with anything besides a straight or shavette. Wilkie 7-day set. Last one of these I bid on, went for over $100 more than my bid, so I didn't think I would get this one, either, but I did. I imagine the strop is toast but the old one will make a pattern for cutting a new one. Or two. Cant wait to get it!

Hit the local antique malls yesterday, mostly looking for fountain pens. Didn't find any pens worth getting, but made some nice shaving scores.

- The brush is an Ever-Ready 500PB (pure badger). It's developing a nice butterscotch color and will get a new Finest or Silvertip Badger knot.
- Old Spice mug
- Gillette 1940s-style Super Speed
- Gillette Slim Adjustable
- Gillette Ball-handle Gold Tech
- Gillette Red Tip Super Speed

The razors are all in shaving condition and just need some cleaning and polishing to get them ready for the rotation.
 
still waiting (and hoping before next year) for Clubman Soap, Vie Long Horse Hair brush, and the V3, V3A, V2OC Maggard Razor heads.
 
After not buying anything for much of the year, I have binged this month, with soaps and razors.

Very nice score, I haven't seen anything in the wild that nice in a long while.

Nice, I got my set too for about $40, when they usually go alot higher. A few of the blades are even sharp enough to do a pass or two with lol
