While it ain't a shaving article, its gonna be used to clean my razors, so I choose to post it here anyway. Went out and bought an ultrasonic cleaner today. Works wonderfully! Got rid of some very old soap residue that I have struggled to get off my Ever-Ready razor. No more toothbrush. 😆

Is it swell time?
Vintage fair was fun! Some razors in the wild. An aluminium British Aristocrat, but very gunked up and TTO mechanism super tight. So left that were it was. I did find this one in the back of a stand:

This is after clean up and Brasso. Based on the date code 1907.

A classic from 1976, an unused Shulton Mandate aftershave spray and talc set, to accompany my spray cologne. Mandate does not get much love here on B&B, perhaps it is overshadowed by Shulton Old Spice and Blue Stratos. I think it is an excellent scent, very masculine, and it really brings back memories of my teenage years at the school disco - I probably applied too much cologne back then, and I still do 😆

When the BOSC Supreme Leader ask you to do something, you get to it!

:hand: Get that toothbrush out and clean the verdigris out from between the teeth (and on the design part of the box) Guido!

I'd like to see it when you've finished. :wink2:
Cal, this is currently the best I can do. Green tarnish is gone from the teeth and the box is much better too!

I hope it is to your liking.

Bounty Hunter is supposed to be a PDM Herod clone, but I sprayed a bit just now, and some Herod on the other arm, and it is quite different. Herod has a lot of contemporary artificial sweetness and tonka, and Bounty Hunter is driven by ambergris and warm spice. I prefer this to Herod, actually. This EDP is sold out now at Hendrix, so I got it just in time.
 
Not the usual unpacking this time.
So, my parents sent a package to their grandkids with some presents, but also reminded me of some shaving stuff I still had at their house. Way back when I started with wetshaving. Asked if I wanted them. Sure, I said!

4 x tallow based sticks and a Nivea shaving cream. Soaps and cream are still in a very good condition.
Plus some nice blades
