Thanks to Vinny for the Penhaligons (currently testing Opus on my left side, Endymion on my right - no idea which I prefer yet!), Devin for the NEW and Martin for the PJ2.

I must stop looking at the Marketplace, I must stop looking at the Marketplace, I must stop looking at the Marketplace...

This is a very exciting purchase. I forgot to pack some AS for my weekend away. Trudged to the local CVS and bought some Skin Bracer by....Mennen. It is serviceable at best but it did do the trick.

I found these two at my local antique mall. I've never shaved with these single-edged razors before, but they looked in such pretty condition, I had to snatch them up. I passed up a nice pocket edition in a beautiful gold-colored metal case. It still had the used blade case, and looked nice, but there was some heavy wear on the head, and the seller wanted $95. He wasn't there to haggle, so I let it go. I also passed up a flare-tip SS that had an endcap missing. There was no price tag, and I didn't have the time for them to contact the seller.

From areler67 in Luxembourg (Thank you kind Sir) comes a delicious near mint Made in England (Light) HD Rocket in Aluminum. LOVE it! This is an excellent copy of the first Rocket I ever bought from Cigar Dan ( and subsequently sold on the BST). too late to shave with it today but it will be used tomorrow!

Very nice Mike!

Mugs and razors this week. The Old Spice on the right is a coffee cup. Most folks in shops don't know the difference between a coffee cup and a shave mug. Just stick a old brush in it and call it a shaving mug. Haven't cleaned the razors yet this is how I found them. Happy Hunting

**zappa99** · 06-10-2008, 09:09 AM

Just won 3 gillette razors on the bay for 1p bid!

2 trap door DE (brit patent no:694093) and 1 techmatic - not cleaned as yet - obvious victim of RAD now!

(Cant get picture to show in post - must try harder!)

**Gosh90** · 06-10-2008, 03:03 PM

Found these at an auction today. VERY HOT!!!!!!!

**Mordecai** · 06-10-2008, 10:23 PM

Trumper's sample pack

**brz90** · 06-11-2008, 04:12 AM

Arrived in the post yesterday - it's been a long time coming and I was getting anxious in case it had gone astray. It cost me £20 which I think is probably OK

It doesn't look like it's been used - but it will be!

I saw them going on ebay but have to watch the RAD carefully

The DE's are white/cream SlimTwists? They're fantastic shavers!

All together, nice and cosy like

I found the blades at COOP, Helsingborg. Same with the Palmolive stuff.

I've been dying to try different Bay Rum scents.

My dad had something like this, I loved playing with the silo doors

Read about theese creams here, bought on ebay.

I had no idea that shaving soap was still being made in Sweden untill sanuginz informed me in this thread, http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthr...939#post626939
Never seen the German soaps before mind.

"My" den, A few weeks ago all You would find was a Mach3, the brush and the C&E soapdish, that's it
