Just look what was in the mail today!
Wow! That's a lot of Monsavon!
You must have a seriously big mailbox.
I posted this in the August thread earlier. I was so excited to post it that I forgot what month I was in! 
This Gillette Travel Tech is my first antique store acquisition and the 3rd razor in my recently started collection. I was pretty excited to find this in mint condition along with the original blades and case w/ mirror. I just wish I knew when this was made. RAD has kicked in and the journey has begun! Sorry about the picture quality. These were taken with my phone.

Had a customer call and tell me he would be late, so I decided to take a stroll through a local antique store. Found both of these for $5 each. Had to take them home.

Which store? I have not found much in the way of razors at the stores here.
Oh, and congrats on the find!Granddaddy's in Burlington; live in GSO, but mostly work in Burlington. Found my Gillette Super Adjustable there a few months ago, but didn't see anything else today.
I have not found any razors there, but I have found some other stuff. I found my OS Burley there. Alamance Antique mall by JRs normally has more razors, some are pricey, but they have a decent amount for this area.

Is that a ranger tech? Sweet.
These have trickled in over the last couple of weeks. Proraso soap and AS splash from C.O. Bigelow. #15, Old Spice mug/soap, MWF and Palmolive from the BST.

Thanks (or *#$%!, depending on how you look at it) to this forum I have a Toggle and HD Rocket 500 on the way. Plus some other surprises I will post pics of here.
Can't believe how much I'm saving by not buying Fusion cartridges!
...not even convincing myself anymore at this point.

I'll try and get another pic up soon. Far from an expert, but I believe its a NDC SS, but if someone else has a better idea I'm all for it.
Ranger Tech?

Getting asked that question reminds me how much I have to learn.

Yep! The smooth band at the bottom means it's a Ranger. Thrilling, isn't it?
Quite; its part of the thrill of the hunt. You never know what you'll find.
This post is actually 2 days late!!!! Ordered Alcolado Glacial, Timor blades, and Bolzano blades from shoeboxshaveshop on Friday and my package was being ripped open Monday night!
I have already used a Timor blade and first impressions are promising.

That's all right. I only know of one or two human encyclopedias here, the rest of us are still learning, too.
Since I live overseas I've made a bunch of orders and ebay bids and sent them to a US address til I get there on vacation...so here's what's waiting for me when I arrive:
1958 SS
1964 Slim adjustable
Feather Portable
Merkur 45
Proraso cream and pre/post cream
I will come back with witch hazel and more KMF as well.
