Is that a Sheraton? Very nice

Thanks for the compliments guys!
It is in fact a Sheraton and a Senator.
I might actually put these in the BST forum sooner or later.. keep your eyes posted

I picked up a "soup" bowl from a nearby small town antique store for $2.50

The Maher & Grosh straight I picked up from msandoval858 (Mike), it's my first straight.

This was a delayed Fathers Day gift from the kids in Chicago.

Have I ever mentioned that I really, really appreciate their shopping at Truefitt & Hill?

Santal. A whole bottle just for me. Hmmm.
And samples. Hmmm.
West Indies Lime SC, Sandalwood SC, Trafalgar SC, Grafton ASB. And Penhaligons Blenheim Boquet and Quercus EDT. And Spanish Leather.

Gosh I like samples. It WAS a Happy Fathers Day this year.

My first Aristocrat!

It has clearly been used quite a bit and it required a lot of TLC to bring back its former luster...

It doesn't have a date code, but the two untextured bands lead me to believe it's from the 1940s (please correct me if I'm wrong). Hear these are great shavers.

**jss** · 06-25-2008, 11:28 PM

Very, very nice..

Nice Aristocrat RoyalKooparillo! What did you do/use to clean it up?

Thanks!

I soaked it in a warm water bath with a scoop of oxi-clean for about 25 minutes to loosen the grime. Then rinsed it, dryed it with a soft cloth, and then re-wet it. Sprayed some scrubbing bubbles on it, then gently cleaned it using a soft-bristled toothbrush, periodically dipping it back in the water. Then rinsed it, dryed it again, followed by q-tip drying/buffing for hard-to-reach places. Finally used a tuff-cloth to protect the finish and help it shine.

Nothing too abrasive, just a soft touch and some time...

--Oh, and a damp cloth followed by a bit of leather conditioner brought the exterior of the case to a much better condition, as well.

Today, I picked up a bottle of L'Occitane Cade aftershave splash which was on sale. I also picked up the shave bowl with Cade soap on sale last week. I definitely live too close to the L'Occitane store.
