Also, a Shapton 30,000 grit is in this lot.

All one lot on eBay...hopefully a good deal. ($1400 USD).

I was eventually going to get a Zowada anyways....at least that is what I tell myself.

Now, I just got too fiqure out how to use it all....

Holy SHIT!
you scored bigtime!
The Zowada, Japanese straight, and the Feather probably come close to $1400 alone!
I am jealous right now, seriously.

And Jakob, That is an AWESOME job on the case and blade holder.

I am glad it went to a good home.

Just got a red-tip Super Speed from ebay. It looked like a lot of the paint was missing in the pictures, but it was just some crude that came off in hot water.

I got these three knots in from TGN, and I installed them straight away. They are awesome. The one on the left is the silvertip 20 mm in bloom the one on the right is not bloomed and the one in the center front is a pure 18 mm not bloomed.

Gillette #66
Gillette #58
Gold Slim Adjustable Aristocrat
HD Rocket

Very happy with this lot.

Here are my exciting finds for the week. I haven't given them a good cleaning yet, but this will give you an idea anyway.

I also got a copy of "Safety Razors: A Price Guide". Nice pictures, but probably one of the worst organized books I've ever encountered.

**Dink** · 05-09-2009, 02:58 AM

I picked up a NOS container of Wrisley Spruce soap. I took a VDH boar brush to it and whipped up an amazing lather! Think I'll be shaving with it tomorrow. I passed on an Old Spice mug and a bottle of Early American Old Spice, may go back and pick them up.

Cheers,
David

Merkur 12c - Got it at a local brick and mortar for $48, which is only six more than Westcoast has it for, and hey, no shipping and instant gratification!

Local antique score. Any help confirming identities and advice on cleaning the aristocrat would be appreciated, see my other thread.
