I almost purchased that T&H sampler but I wasn't sure how the packaging worked (being a pouch instead of a bottle). Let us know if you think it was worth the price?
 
Just got this today from Ram.. Pre-Vulfix Simpson Chubby 1 Super in 2-band. As you can see, incredibly good condition. Thanks Copperhead!

Tabac Original Luxury Bath Soap
... just 13 calendar days since I placed my order. (Thanks, dridiot ... and the various members that pointed me to him in my quest for this awesome smelling soap!)

I still don't understand why a soap made in Germany has to be ordered all the way from Singapore just so I can indulge myself here in New Jersey ... but so it goes.

I also don't understand what compelled me to pay $16.99 (includes shipping) for a 100g bar of soap. But, I'm not complaining.

Is this a crazy hobby we have, or what?
 
This is a new acquisition, and to my mind, it may be the ultimate SE razor. The Ever-Ready Streamline Set with razor, stropper and strop. All NIB.

The razor is very heavy the finish is chrome and the quality of the workmanship is just superb.

Here's a picture of the razor (I cribbed this from a post by bpope62) he called it an Ever-ready Jewell.

Here are a couple of pictures of my set:

WOW..that SE looks stunning, in my view it just beat the G-Bar and took the first place. Nice score.

BTW The handle looks similar to the Star DE razor.

Nice hauls, everyone!

Rodd - do you have a date for the Gem ad? I have that box and razor, but not the razor blade dispenser, and have always wondered what the date was for it.

I just went down and checked. I don't think there is a date on it, but the bottom right corner has a 49 on it, no idea if that might be the year or what it might be, but no copyright or anything on it. Sorry!

Agreed (but share the bath with someone and it feels like a bargain :tongue_sm)
 
Well, I didn't think there was anything else coming my way this year but this was hand delivered today from NYC. Thank you Jim.
Here is my newest 1921 Gillette Big Fellow in Silver. It needs a good cleaning but it's a fine way to close out the year for collecting.
