Just arrived yesterday, some Godrej Menthol Mist,and a customized blade sampler. Also, a lot of razors from a wanted ad on Craigslist. The two Gillettes cleaned up very nicely! Not sure what I'm doing with the straights. I have more straights than I know what to do with!

Got my shaving soap on Monday that I won from Susie's Bubbles. Haven't used it yet, but I plan to tonight. Got 2 half-rounds. One is an olive oil based Bay Rum scent, the other is a shea butter based scent called Autumn Wreath.

Both smell really good! Time to check performance!

This week was good!

Ever Ready 1912 - Great condition, minor plating loss on head.
Gem 1912 - Good condition, needs a cleaning
Gem Featherweight
Gem Micromantic - Great condition, my favourite by far!
Gem Junior - It's in decent condition, just not sold on it

That lot ran me 15 bucks. (The last 4 were 10 bucks shipped, and the ever ready I picked up at an antique store for 5)

Geneva Cutlery Co Straight - In good condition, no rust, one single pit on the blade halfway between the spine and the edge. Just needs a good polish (Picture looks like rust, its reflection)

And a Dubl-Duck Straight - In good condition also, currently away for honing

 

[crocto]

picked up some d.r. harris lavendar cream in a tube from cambridge chemists in NYC today.
