Well, I started out July with more than one bang.
I received about 100 or so Gillette Thins and 25 Gillette spoilers from TacoBell (thank you David) and I also received a nice wooden bowl full of MWF from Jim, (the former Goose, Thank you).

On a whim, I stopped by a local antique shop the other day, just to see what was in stock. I've never known them to have much in the way of shaving stuff, but the stock does rotate rather regularly, so I was hoping luck just might be with me. And, it was:



This little beaut is a full on leather(maybe? not sure if it's synthetic, but it feels like leather) bound travel kit, complete with a matching razor:



And even a styptic pencil and a tube of toothpaste!



I'm not sure what the razor is, but it looks to me like a Gillette Tech. It matches another razor I have, which has been identified as a Tech, only it's silver rather than gold.

Now, how much do you think this whole set cost? $10. Yup. $10. The cover is in good condition, there are only a few little discolorations on the zipper (no actual rust, just some greening of the metal) and all the metal canisters inside are shiny, with minimal spots of wear. Now, I'm not 100% certain how to even use some of these little canisters, but I know next time I take a trip somewhere (anniversary, woohoo!), I'm going to figure something out.

I accumulated this lot over the weekend. Lot's of gas burned on this trek. The straight and hone belonged to my great-grandfather so are going nowhere, but I can be talked out of any of the rest of the finds. The old barber's talc brush is really cool. And the Gold Tech on the lower right is about as mint as you can get and includes the R-1 coded blades that I found with it. I've already claimed one of the Old Spice mugs as my own (note the loaded soap), but the other two are available.

I guess I will add my haul for today:

Very nice Bob! R&G soaps are underrated and hard to find.

[Stauff]

Yardley English lavender brilliantine

You may have burned a lot of gas but DE shaving reduces your carbon footprint so it's all good. Nice finds!

[Hanspleasure]
