Received two bottles of TSD Iced Tobacco w/ Allantoin AS splash in the mail today. This is some high quality stuff with Tobacco Absolute. Love the smell.

 

[SRA7594]

Iced Tobacco sounds amazing. Checked out the site, don't see that as an option. How did you pull it off?

 

[Eric W. Ford]

Recieved these in the mail today.
Merkur 1904 and a 1959 Gillette Superspeed date code of E1

Picked up a couple extra items yesterday along with the Ever Ready and Clippers (on sale):

Today arrived my new soap.

 

[Mr Peat]

I picked these up off Ebay from 3 different users. Only thing I hate about living in the hills of no where.

Above Left to right is the following: Aristocrat 1940's, Gold Tech, far right is unknown. Owner thought it was a Fat Boy and no clue.

Above picture is the same order as the first picture listed.

RAD has fully kicked in. After buying a New a couple of weeks ago...bought another out of criteria ( British TTO ) razor

English Tech #44 set

 

[futurman]

I just bought a 100ml tub of Proraso pre/post, and 100 red IP blades, 100 Derbys, and 100 Dorco st-300 blades. I don't have pictures, but you all know what they look like

Thank you westcoastshaving!

 

[taffy]

I'm usually too lazy to post score pics, but this one, I just had to share. I think you can see why. It's a diplomat for those who don't know, and it's pretty close to mint (lacquer loss on one door that's way way way minor). I doubt it was ever even used. The little areas that look like lacquer loss on the closed doors are actually water, I couldn't actually capture the little lacquer loss that there was

The doors are so shiny, that in pictures, the middle area ends up having a silver highlight that makes them look brassed...you can tell I'm pretty proud of this score

[1] Bottle of Speick After Shave Lotion.

 

[rsvossen]

Acquisitions this week:

• Italian Floïd AS (75ml/2.54 fl.oz) from Manufactum.com
• Dominica Bay Rum from Manufactum.com

And some random ones that I forgot to mention in the past weeks:

• Shaving mug bought at a local recycle/charity shop (filled with Woodys)
• Two black bowls for soap - they technicly are pot-pourri dishes, but as they are the perfect size for soap pucks I decided to go for it. As they are pot-pourri bowls they have holes in the lid, which I actually find handy... you don't want to store soaps air-tight!
• The Vanishing American Barber Shop by Ronald S. Barlow (including a 1920s barbers' manual, reprints of Barber-Supply Catalogs and rare photo's).
• Gladde Jongens: De kunst van het scheren (translation: 'Smooth guys: the art of shaving') by Leo de Brouwer and Peter van Lierop.

 

[Big Red Dog]

Received the three items from Saint Charles Shave and came across this Schick Injector and GEM Micromatic!

 

[pras]

Two Susie's Bubbles samples--bay rum and peppermint.

Thanks!

This came in yesterday from Shaveabuck:

.

I believe the razor on the left is a '46 or '47 aristocrat, the one on the right is another aristocrat from about '48 - the early 50's.

 

[Vinny Bobo]

I got my Bull Mastiff last week and it is my favorite razor by far! The nickel plated open comb and the heavy handle make it effortless to shave with. An Astra, Super Max or IP blade really does a great job! You got to get one of these. It's a MUST have.

 

[greyalien]

Gotta share some new scores!

1) Glam shot with a new Rooney Heritage Stubby Medium, '48 Aristocrat.

2) 40s Tech, '47 aristocrat (both are great travel sets in AMAZING condition, i got lucky!), the rooney, and some new nancy boy sc.

3) Might as well post my TTO collection, the main product of my recent vintage gillette acquisition disorder. Im proud and a little emberassed lol. Not shown i have another '56 flare tips SS, 70s SS, and two gold ball end techs. Oh, and my merkurs

Still looking for a blue tip ss, a president, and some open combs!
