SCORE! Enjoy!

It's a Weck hair shaper. I think they are mostly used for women's hair cuts, but without the guard it is a shavette. They also made the Sextoblade that was a little bigger and had a shaving guard.

Weck had a line of disposable blade straight razors in the old days with a full size handle and slightly longer blade holder. some did come with a bar type guard and others came with the comb like in the picture. Most folks took off the guard and used it like a frameback straight razor. My first shaver in college was the Weck hair shaper pictured above (which doubled as a hair shaper). Great blade that actually was used by some heavy hitters until recently when Dovo stopped making their green insert for their shavette, and Hess Hair Milk stopped producing their Ezy-Shave 1010. Still, lots of vintage Weck straight razors and definitely Weck hair shaper clones out there for reasonable prices and the blades are still plentiful from Personna and Fromm (sold mostly in beauty supply stores).

super jealous of this score!

Awesome Score! I really like the AS Jar, very cool!

Great haul

You did GREAT. Is this a place you visit often? I'm really jealous but I'm glad it went to a good home. I'm also glad people know there is a market for this stuff!

Thanks! This was actually the second time I'd been to this store. The first visit yielded nothing, but i was probably not looking for the right things. I love barbershop memorabilia.

Nice work. I like the mug.

Like the mug and the barbicide bottle.

Excellent! Enjoy your spoils. My dad had one of those Old Spice mugs. Very cool finds.

Great pick up. Those blades and the Old Spice mug are steals. The last couple Old Spice mugs I picked up were $10 and I've started seeing them at shops I frequent going for $20-$25.

I bought the razor but I didn't get that kit. I felt that I had no need for it. I bought the razor (Gillette H3) for $15 dollars. need to clean it up a bit tho.

nice!

No doubt. I have a mind to go to the other local antique store here and try to get a few more.

Jealous of the Barbicide jar!

You can fill it with blue Dollar Store aftershave; just dunk your hand in after a shave and slap it on ...


AA

I see those Rolls all over! I've never picked one up though. The Slim, however, looks great! Clean it up, load it, and shave away!

Nice pickup, Rolls give you a good shave if the blade is properly honed.

Great Score!

It looks like it will clean up very well.

I've wondered if those Rolls were more novelty that people just kept tucked away or something, more than they got used all the time. It is very hard around here to go into any shop, any day, and not see one. More than half the time they appear mint with a box.

Was running low on aftershave

Nice find! let us know how it shaves!
