Acquisitions Mon Aug 27 - Sun Sept 2

Pictures to follow...

Purchased a lot of razors on eBay out of which

1 - 1953 President (missing endcaps) otherwise perfect
1 - 1958 Fatboy (excellent)
1 - 1958 TV Super Speed (excellent) w/case (very good)
2 - Red-tip 1956 Super Speeds (one missing end caps)
1 - Brownie handled Tech
1 - Thick handled Tech

and purchased from GB, a bakelite travel-cased "New Gillette" the case says "Made in USA" on the velvet lined top, but the blade-guard says "Made in England". May be a miss-match but it sure looks like they were made for each other.

The President was purchased here from Nick and looks amazing.

A bottle of Floris no. 89. (Thanks, Andrew)

Ordered these at the end of July...today they arrived!

Rob, Aquarius has turned out to be my favorite Booster AS. Enjoy.

Austin - you were my guide on the Polar Ice and spot on so I look forward to trying the Aquarius!

Jim,
Forticea? Is that a shampoo? It looks like it has some exfoliating beads in it.

Matt it is shampoo, the beads are according to the propaganda EO's I recieved this as a sample and I am very impressed with the performance so I picked a tube up. A tiny pea sized amount is all you use. My bride also likes it.

Kent BK4 with some English Wilkinsons - Thanks Mike F.
Gillette Slim case - Thanks Chris
Trumper Gold Warwick Simulated Tortoise Razor - Thanks Mike S. for the tip on the Trumper sale.

Very nice. I passed up a chance recently to get my hands some of that soap as I picked Penhaligon's English Fern over it. Not that the Fern isn't outstanding, but now I'm wishing I'd just picked up one of each.

Haul from yesterday's visit to St-James street and Jermyn Street, London:

T&H luxury shave soap
TOBS Avocado cream
TOBS faux tortoise shell medium sized handmade comb.

Also some 1886 blend Whittard tea (Assam+Keemun blend)
