Let's see you haul for this month.
 
^ Nice display, AC. The Mergress and R89 are beautiful razors. Use them in good health, my friend. Nice shave case, too.
 
Stopped at a local antique shop and picked up a 1966 Gillette SS ($8), 1963 Slim Adjustable ($22), and an Oxford Straight ($22).

Today's haul for me is a French made Le Coq adjustable DE.

The razor is in very good condition, the set seems uncomplete, missing a blade bank and the box has seen some use but still this is a very nice one IMO.

I don't have any information about it (dating wise). Would you have any ?
It is stamped "licence Palmer" under the head, I did not find anything about this either except some vintage blades named Palmer.
Hopefully my next post will be announcing my 2 new Simpsons brushes (Jubilee et Wee Scot) :drool:

Not bad for the second post! Very, very nice! I've been looking for those for awhile. Excellent and thank you for sharing.
 
OK so this is my 4th B&B post and the second in this thread, I may have some sort of AD :001_cool:

Right from Isle of Man :










Mark has been a real pleasure to deal with. I even got a Simpsons AB as a bonus !
 
This Christmas Santa Claus was really good with me, hehe:







My new SOC compared with my Omega 81052/31052:




And my new Vie&Long 13061 with TGN Finest knot and Frank Shaving 23mm Finest compared with my Vulfix 2234 in Best:




Cheers!
 
Wow I did not know Pimpsons made a LE brush for the Queen's Jubilee! That is really something special esp with the embedded coin!

Are you going to use it?
 
My recent purchase from the Bay just came in the mail today. I did not have high hopes from the low price I won it for, nor from the few pictures that were supplied. However, after opening up the package, and lightly cleaning things up with Scrubbing Bubbles and a tooth brush, all I can say is..... Damn Did I score!!! Included in the purchase was a cased Gillette Travel Tech (with Berkeley Blade), 2 Durham Duplex razors (1 with original box), a Rolls Razor (original box and instructions), as well as a Schick Krona!
