February 2017 Scores

[ronweston]

It's February already with spring only a couple of months away but time doesn't effect the scores. They are all out there awaiting discovery.


Yes, time does see to fly but no matter what the season, or the weather, there is always something waiting to be found. And you can mark it as yours.

When you find it, let us know. We all want to see and think ... I'm need one of THOSE....

Show the photos so we all can be envious and plan. ​

Okay, I will start off.

Got these yesterday and today.

Gillette New, ER 1924 brass, and later version of Kriss Kross. After the miserable shave I got with the early version Kriss Kross last week, I decided to punish myself more.

Congrats on the razors. Hope this Kriss Kross gives you a better shave, though it looks a bit wicked.

Gem Jr I got from eBay for $6. I liked the FeatherWeight so much, I decided to try the original. Cleaned, polished, shimmed, and loaded. Test shave this evening.

I picked up this deal plus a 1964 (My birth year) Gillette travel razor for $30.00 The seller had listed them for $40.00 a few weeks ago then reduced it to $20.00. I gave him the extra $10.00 because I felt bad he didn't get along with the razor and blades. I tried giving him a chance to try different blades and maybe a different razor, but he had given up and went back to three blades..... Hey I tried!

Got this yesterday from Royal Shave.

Got this last week. My wife's cousins were cleaning out their parents' home for an estate/yard sale. My mother-in-law saw a box that they were going to throw away and offered them $1 for it because she knew I liked vintage razors. The case had a lot of green-black corrosion, but the razor was in almost-new condition. Cleaned the case as much as I could - some areas were down to the base copper. So, here's my $1 Travel Tech ('65) ... My first Tech!

Zipslack, That's one fine Mother in law............
