Belated B-day gift from my daughters,( 
) and I am proud to say they did very well at the antique mall. They are 14 and 16 and purchased what they could afford.
They didn't know exactly what they were looking for except that I always talk about sharpening stones and razors.
Look what they bought me. A 15/16 razor and a sharpening stone!

Awesome Phil, what a great score!!
Just got back from the local junk, err, antique store.
X2 - 40's style Superspeed, user grade, some plating loss but fully usable
F4 - Flair tip Superspeed, 5 minutes with a toothbrush and scrubbing bubbles and it looks new.
Oh and I forgot to add the prices. $2.50 for each. (total was $5.46...)
I'm such a thief.

Scored last weekend in London....forgive me for the crappy pictures. They'll look better in an SOTD shot soon.
A matched pair of "Democrat" straight razors with MOP scales and heavily worked spines.
Second up is a ... well I don't even know what to call this. Used to have seven blades that snapped into the tang. Now it only has four blades, but is lovely despite the loss. Box needs a little work, however...

Wow, now that is an interesting set! Congratulations.
Found one of these at a garage sale yesterday. Got it for free with other purchases. Talk about a deal! Just got done filling it up with my Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum.
An aftershave haul from Japan!! My friend just got back. I now have MG5, Bravas and a back up bottle of Mandom
Well, while I still didn't find the money I lost last week, I did bring a gold chain I found 2-3 years ago on the side of the road and sold it to a vendor at the flea market and made back the money I lost plus more. This was a good vendor because he paid me based on the value of the chain, not the "scrap" price. Found this week were the items below. There was a Volkswagen bottle of full of Avon which will go to my cousin-in-law who loves VW's, as well as a bottle shaped like a fishing reel. Two empty jars of Avon shaped like pipes and two actual pipes. A jar of Old Spice talcum powder and Old Spice spray cologne, both full. Shaving wise, I got a pair of small manual clippers with scissor like handles, and a shaving brush.
But the most interesting is the pill bottles. They are a large size, and if POGS were still popular, would be great for storing them. But I collect razors, so I noticed that the large size makes them perfect for carrying shaving brushes, even the large ones! You can also fit a razor in them if you squeeze the sides, and when you let go, the bottle "holds" the razor in place, it doesn't slide around, and the lid fits on just fine. Just flip it over and squeeze, and the razor slides out.

I found a few things I never heard of, Boyer ABC no brush shave cream and after shave lotion with a Woodbury after shave power gift set, Stag after shave, Land and Lake after shave Palmolive Talc and After shave lotion Gift set and Lorie gift set. They are nice collectables but I dont know anything about them

Ok so a funny story: I opened the mailbox today and a rush of lavender hit me like a brick wall, it was 115 outside today (Mississippi is very hot and humid). I saw a package in the back of the mailbox and knew exactly what it was. I was so excited I almost missed the wet spot on the box. The lavender hit me again. Got inside and opened it up. The TOBS Lavender SC had liquefied. Very little leaked out. But yea it was that hot outside. Put everything in the fridge to be safe and all is well.
John, thanks again
