Finally got all my stuff in for graduation.

I didn't end up getting the Penhaligon's colognes I wanted but, I got a watch I've wanted for a very long time.

My bits so far for the week (thank you Hans, merwtje, and rum) - some tubs of TOBS and a few blades together with a NEW should be winging their merry way this week!

Is it obvious my SO is away at the mo?

Today at my door was a copy of Russell Adams book: "King Gillette The Man and His Wonderful Shaving Device" and a package from Scott (Hanspleasure) that contained an injector, Black tip SS, and a vintage Merkur(?)

Friday I picked up the Gbar, black handle SS, and Merkur Classic, but was unable to get an image.

These are on the way along with a Chubby 2 in Best and a bowl of GFT Limes SS from Lee:

Since I'd rather not take a photo of it I'll just say: I finally got a deferred tax refund today from 2004 and since this more than covers the Le Grelot it counts as an "acquisition" in my book

This morning

A Merkur HD
QED Lime EO Shave Stick
QED Mocha Java Shave Stick - I want to eat this thing, now I need a cologne to pair to it!

This afternoon on a shopping trip I found a local shop that sells D.R. Harris that I didn't even know existed so I picked up some lavender cream and then popped into T.K Maxx and got some vulfix lavender cream in a tub for £8. Its been a lavender day off today!

A puck/round/cake/bar of Institut Karite. I look forward to giving it a try.

I came upon a GEM Micromatic and a Valet this week at an antique store. $2 for the Gem and $10 for the Valet. I think I paid too much for the Valet but it was too cool looking so I bought it anyways.

Richie - where do you get your QED stuff from?

Took a chance on this on ebay...there was one, blurry, distant pic in the listing but I've wanted one of these for a while, so I went for it...ended up being in MUCH better shape than I had hoped...there are a few stains on the blade that will need to be worked out, but theres no hone wear and the scales are almost perfect...I'm pretty stoked about it

No pictures, but my St. Charles Shave group buy package came in the mail over the weekend

Today was a pretty slow day I had to take the day off work today so i decided to hit the antique shops . all I found was 2 display cases 1 of them had 12 razors in it and the other was empty . I brought the case with the razors in the house and the other one is still in my trunk so the wife does not see it

so no pictures of the other .

I also took out some of the razors so I can start cleaning them up . so the case in the picture only has 5 razors in it in the pictures .

Yes the large one on the top is a W&B chopper

the case is made of Oak

a true frame back the blade comes out when you take the screw off a real beauty

Gruder and I performed a little switcheroo this past week...scored a puck of Gold-Dachs soap with a sample of TOBS lavender to boot! Thanks to Gruder for the easy swap.

OK, I realize this particular forum is meant for beautiful antique razors and other high-end stuff ... but I still want to show what arrived at my place today, probably the cheapest DE razor in existence, the Wilkinson Sword Classic.

I bought this specifically to use as a travel razor. I use a Merkur HD at home and I wanted an extra razor to use for travelling, one which I wouldn't mind losing or forgetting in an hotel room. But I still want it to be a 'real' razor -- no disposables or cartridges. This Wilkinson seems just what I need. Its reviews are pretty positive.

Ordered from Blademail in the UK.

Perhaps I'll try it this weekend.

Best wishes,
Jan Pieter

its a good razor aslong as you know how to use it, synergizes well with israely personnas,

I can't speak for anyone else but I enjoy seeing all scores (especially with pictures), no matter how much people paid for them.
