Ayup Bill,

Yeah, just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!

And I see you've moved on to straights now.

Nice.

Wow Mordecai, that's a nice haul. Here are my A/S acquisitions for the past three weeks (I just got my camera back, so I can finally take decent pictures) as well as my first Livi, which I also posted on the SR forum.

I stumbled upon a Gillette Super Blue razor and blades while traveling in China.

Also found a Rhino brand razor and some unknown blades, but haven't tried them yet.

Very nice stuff indeed.

I remember your post on the Bostonian, and it looks amazing.

Nice Tuckaway too :)

Cheers.

Nice razor! You should also love the Penhaligon's BB cream. It works and smells great.

Shavemac 22579 25mm in Horn
D.R Harris shaving soap in Arlington -does smell more citrus than fern
D.R Harris pink After shave

Just came today, courtesy of the USPS:
1948-50 Gillette Super Speed (eBay)
1955 standard Super Speed (from B&B's own scottydoint)
1961 Gillette Adjustable (from BI's sales board)

None are museum quality (no original boxes, etc), but they are all in excellent condition and will make great every day shavers. Now, I just need to figure out which one to use first. The wife's going to freak out when she sees all of these sitting next to my Merk...

It weighs in at a hefty 91g, compared to the AIC's 32g.

Musgo Real
C&E Pure Badger Brush
Merkur 1906 Razor

I also won a superspeed and what I think is a fatboy, but couldn't tell from the picture, on eBay last night for $10. The picture quality wasn't too good but I'm hoping I can clean the razors up a bit.
