Sometimes it's good to go with an impulse buy....and stimulate the economy as well.

And help out those poor, poor credit card companies

It's like Christmas morning....

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....

Monday:
A V3 Superspeed, and some included samples, from stussy80m

Wednesday:
A Y3 Superspeed, and some awesome samples, purchased from FlatFork. The small sample containers are C&E Sweet Almond Oil cream and TOBS Mr Taylor cream. Unfortunately a sample of T&H West Indian Limes cologne was sacrificed to the shave gods by the post office. Man did the package smell good though!

Tomorrow will be my first DE shave. I can't wait. In fact, I may shower and shave tonight!

Hopefully some new blades still to come this week.

A few central Texas antique shop finds.

Cool story: went to the Austin antique mall and found the SS for $6. Drove out to Bastrop, walked into a store and asked the lady if she had any old Gillette razors. She said she had two "old gold ones". She pulls out the Aristocrat and the Sheriton. So I ask how much. She says $3 each. We drive out to Smithville and believe it or not, I find an Aristocrat case for $5!!!!

So I spent $8 and got a cased Aristocrat and only spent $17 for the day.

I got a few things in the mail today. First off, a B&B Essential brush from rgjr. I love the handle. I also got a tube of GFT Violet and, an Arko shave stick, a few different kinds of blades, and some other samples from a trade off BST.

I would put up a picture, but I lost my phone yesterday.

I found an interesting razor on the bay. vague description, one single blurry picture. I had a hunch it was something I wanted so I bid low. it went almost uncontested and I won the item at $8. It arrived yesterday and as I suspected, it was a cased TV Special!!! Some scrubbing bubbles brough it back to Excellent condition. I have overpaid on a number of items on the bay, but a win like this makes it worth while sometimes...

Thought I'd share my other ad. My score of the year came today. Got an incredible deal on them, too. Now, I just need to have them matted on acid free linen, then famed and matted under UV protective glass.

A little bit of browning on the bottom of the London, but Chicago has a couple of very serious poster dealers who will be able to restore and mat it. My deal on this was the equivalent of finding a toggle in case, with instructions and original unopened blade box but with a slight bit of brassing on one of the doors for $5. (I paid more than $5, but this is worth more than a toggle.)

This was the best smelling box I ever opened....

Neat. You going to shave with it and post a thread on the razor? The design looks interesting.
