While on a lil shopping trip in Nuremberg I happened to stumble in to a cosmetics store went to the lower floor and BAM numerous items from TOBS. I ended up getting TOBS Sandalwood. Also I found another store that sells Penhaligon's, Aqua Di Parma, and L'Occitane shaving soap. But those are for another time.
 
(Almost?) Mint 1930s Brit Aristocrat - complete with - paper & blades.

Hey Herbnerd, an Rhodium Aristocrat #15.

Nice pickup !!!!! :001_smile

If you want to collect it, collect.....if you want to use it, use it .......if you want to get rid of , get rid of

Nobody can make the choice for you :001_tongu

Well obviously you should send it to me as I'm a very serious collector:001_tt1:
All jokes aside that is my holy grail and is a work of art - congrats on a great score:w00t:
Cheers Paul

It is seriously beautiful.... I have it wrapped and at the back of the drawer - I just don't want my wife or daughter mucking around with this beauty. The photos really don't do it justice.

That is one beautiful razor! I don't blame you for keeping it out of harm's way; I'd do the same myself.

:001_wub:The missus went out to lunch with a friend today, and came home with a tube of Macca Root shaving cream from The Body Shop! I love my wife!:001_wub:
 
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

...you can tell I'm pretty proud of this score ;)

That's one fine looking Diplomat. Enjoy it, it is my favorite razor.

Just not sure whether I should keep hold of this beauty or pass it onto a more serious collector.

Very nice score...
 
- 5/8+ Custom Joe Chandler, 1/4 grind, French point, mirror finish with translucent horn scales.
and
- 6/8 Le Grelot 1/4 grind, round point, satin finish with black plastic scales

These 2 straights arrived at my door last week, even though I had ordered them a bit earlier. But the wait was worth it! Both shave like beautifully!!

First: Smoothy, those are beautiful razors. I love the blue coral colored spacer (I'm not sure what it's called, but it's seen in pic 3)

Now: I've been waiting a week or two to show this off. I've got another sample pack coming, and one more razor, but I couldn't wait to show these off.

GEM Gold Plated Mircomatic, Lider Shave Cream, and 3 GEM blades. Unfortunately there's a small hole in the tube of cream right above the R, but I just rolled the tube down and it was fixed.
Just got these in the mail today all the way from Australia. Great PIF! Thanks miner!

And last pic is everything I've received over the past week and half-two weeks -- samples and a PIF.
