Well, it's Monday here in Australia. I've started the week off well. I've just had an offer accepted on a nice boxed Ranger Tech.

I've managed to grab another couple of pairs of cufflinks.
And texquill sent me a PM offering me the matching vintage Old Spice Lime aftershave to the cologne I bought off him yesterday. Far too good of an opportunity to pass up.
It's been one very expensive morning. It's a public holiday here in Melbourne and I'm looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow so I can't buy so much stuff.

Time to try a Parker 51 repro. The brand is Hero. I got a green one.
and to go with the pen is some black (fragrant???) ink.

Two overnight pick ups.
A 3 cigar travel humidor.
And an early Gillette travel set. It looks like a 1920 Standard Combination but I won't realy know until I get it and have a look.

Picked up a used but serviceable Fatboy for $17 shipped last night:
.. guess I need to go read the "how to clean your razor" thread now so I can post a sexy after shot.

Arrived in the mail today: D.R. Harris Marlborough soap in the mahogany bowl.
Dang John, you're singlehandedly keeping the GDP of several countries in the red!
I love the look of that ranger tech. It is beutiful! And I like the brush, very hansome. Some nice aquisitions.
I have 3 super speeds on the way this week. Picked them all up on eBay. About $35 for the whole lot. I think it was a good deal. I plan on doing a PIF on at least one of them. So y'all be looking for that.

Tell me about it. Luckily my wife is a VERY understanding woman.
Oh, and I just got two more sets of cufflinks on the bay.
I'd say you're a very lucky man. Oh, and I obviously meant in the black, not red.

Don't know if I can compete with some of these finds, but I got an Ever-Ready with box:

p.s.--Bill, I've never used a Simpson, but that is one beautiful brush.
My Simpson 90th Anniversary 'Astor' arrived in this mornings mail. To say I'm impressed is a vast understatement. I got #55.

Just picked up my first tube of Proraso shaving cream this morning from Bath& Body Works. Can't wait to try it. I may go back for some aftershave.
My shaving cream AD is starting to kick in.
Also, my Omega Boar brush came in today with a Choice Sampler from WCS

first three bowls - each different of Courtley shaving soap. The first (brown plastic bowl) came in box. It is purportedly a "jumbo" with "over a year's supply of abundant lather" - per text on the box. The second bowl, red plastic, is the normal size, I guess - 169g. of soap, total package approx. 1.5 ounces lighter than the brown bowl. The third (gold bowl) is ceramic with a gilt glaze, 181g. of soap - too whacky for words!
And bottles of vintage Yardley colognes in boxes - the white label is "Yardley Cologne for Men"; the second is the famous "Black Label Cologne." 3.75 fluid oz each. BNIB!!!!!
and some other stuff - an Old Spice AS/Colgne gift set, NIB - some obscure out of production after shaves (perhaps I'll brag those as I explore 'em)... woohoo!

Curious what you think about the Hero. I've been looking at them but never pulled the trigger.
Vintage Western Gentleman set. Cologne, Hair Cream, and After-Shave. Totally cherry NOS.
Western Gentleman of Glendale, California.
'Cause when I think of cowboys, I think of Glendale, California.
