That growing shape on the horizon is freaking Christmas. Less than two weeks to go. Let's see those pre-holiday splurges.

Got a Star SE for $8. Had some gunk on the handle, but it a little soak in Goo Gone took care of that! And I got a generous sample of Pen's Castile shave cream from a B&Ber!
Just scored a winning bid on theBay - a neat looking Gem for $14 incl. shipping. My first true razor acquision. My mom found a me a couple of ratty Techs at an estate sale a couple of months ago, and thus began my journey. Looking forward to trying out some SE action:
I picked up this set on Ebay last night. I probably paid too much but oh well, it's mine.
It can't be too much if you wanted it - great sets!

The Summer Special set is sweet. I saw that one the other and thought it was a nice set. Glad you scored it, dude.
My RAD has really rekindled in the past week. I had not used ebay in so long that I had forgotten my password and username. At any rate, I JUST WON MY FIRST BRITISH #21!!!!

The second one looks like a Slim...what's the date code?
The first one looks like a 70s long-handle Super Adjustable.
Nice razors, no matter what!
thanks to schadowrider i am now the proud owner of the jack black pure performance brush. i have not used it yet but can tell its going to be an amazing brush. good weight in the handle and exceptional soft bristles. cant wait to use it tomorrow
today -
vintage Plisson from dbay -
I believe this is one of Plisson's "budget" models - the handle is apparently hollow plastic. The knot is quite nice - soft & quite dense, on the floppy side. I'll likely give it a shot tomorrow. It is distinctive anyway for the handle.
details:
20mm diameter knot
52 mm loft
handle 45mm high, 40mm diameter at base
also received today a nice clean blue-black handle Schick injector w/ blades (thanks, Jack-in-the-Green; thanks B&B)
...and from Jim:
thanks Jim! (and thanks, B&B)

I just bought this. I really considered a full nights sleep before I decided, then decided to go ahead and buy it.

I once saw an advertisement for rum or cigars that had a catchy slogan: Restist the temptation to resist temptation.

Very cool....another one for my list...
I spent the morning antiquing in Hastings, MN and came away with this haul. And this was with one antique store closed! I also passed on a khaki set in rough condition, a Gem with a broken Bakelite box, a couple of Valet Autostrops, a Schick Injector, and something else that I don't remember at the moment. Plus a bunch of straights, since I don't know enough about them to know what's good and what isn't. One fellow offered me all 5 of the straights in his case for $20. If any of you other Minnesotans know your straights, it might be worth a trip to Hastings for you. Anyway, PICS:
I don't know if I got taken at $20 for this razor, given the blade is chipped and the back side of the scales cracked. But it was so purty!
If it's rescue-able maybe I'll have it restored one day and give straight shaving a try. (Must ... resist ... SRAD!)

You should probably ask one of the restoration experts, but I think they could do something about it. It has some pretty funky hone wear, but then again I've seen Glen* has done work on some razors with insaaane hone wear before.
