WWI shaving set, finally I got something to be proud of (well I'm proud of all my razors, but you know, something not as common as an Aristocrat, or souplex, etc.)

Really????

I don't know If I should tell you my max bid on that... though it was pretty close to yours.

By the way my name's Pablo too.

hehe

are you from the UK, or Australia??
just wondering, because I don't know many fellow Londoners here.

I already know, you mentioned it already, £26 or £27.
I'm Australian.
Anyway, it's a nice buy so congrats.
I've cut down on buying razors, I just throw a bid here and there on nice cased examples these days as a gamble, as I really don't need any extra razors.

Ok, I officially overdid it, but I think my SSAD is oficially over now.

I just returned from US to this package:

But in the US I received this from Mama Bear and SCS:

So I guess I'm good for a couple of years, at least until I start PIFing stuff to have an excuse to buy new

Holy jumping geronimo! You have saved me from myself. I thought I had an aquisition disorder. You could start your owne store with that stock. Actually I am just jealous.

OMG!!!

That is quite the score . . . .

I managed to pick up an unused, still in the cellophane 100ml bottle of Floris Vetiver EDT for the princely sum of 10 English Pounds on a Buy It Now. Gotta love ebay some times

 

[heirkb]

Rooney 1/1 Super Silvertip Ebony Handle
Some random Japanese/Vietnamese (??) shave cream I saw at a Japanese store today
Weleda Skin Food (it has lanolin in it; figured I'd test it out)
View attachment 55155

Darn it, the image is sideways...Oh well

Purchase last week, and arrived today. The top of the head is pretty much silver, the gold is almost all gone, you have to look at the sides of the head to tell it was gold at one time. Other than that it is solid. And Scoof, did you leave anything for the rest of us? Just kidding great score!!

You've done very well. This military set is in fine shape and the mirror looks to be in extraordinary condition. Something yo don't see to often for sure.....Enjoy!!!

[adonnellyr]

Every now and then I sneak back in here just to ogle that HUGE score above...

 

[kooshman7]

Another of my items that I bought several weeks back.

Look forward to using my new Double Size DB Scuttle...

After looking at the massive haul that scoof reeled in, perhaps the Acquisitions series should be closed permanently.

That is indeed a thing of great beauty - and of equal historical significance. Very nice!

Cool. I have one of those high on my wish-list.
