To atone for my egregious lapse in judgement when, in a moment of selfish weakness, I shaved with a multi-blade disposable razor and bar soap, I offer a PIF. CONUS only please. To be in the running, merely reply “I’m in” and offer something that nobody would otherwise know about you, such as “I’ve castrated calves before” (I have, actually). Give it until noon (eastern standard time) on Monday next (May 9) at which point I’ll assign numbers and pick the winner via a random number generator. Good luck to all!
These are a few things that I’ve accumulated that I either don’t use, don’t need or don’t like. Hopefully there is something there that will be of interest to somebody.
Cream/soap:
Razorock Puros – lathered twice off the top. I had hoped it would smell like the tobacco I worked in as a kid. It doesn’t.
Thayer’s Witch Hazel cream. Used an almond sized dollop once.
Razor & kit:
20s (?) ABC pocket shaving kit with a 30s Goodwill head. Includes blade bank with used vintage blades within. The Goodwill is a fantastic shaver and was my main razor for about 20 years.
Blades:
10 pack of vintage Gillette blades. These may have come with the ABC kit when I found it in the wild way back when.
2 5-packs of Gillette Nacet blades. Acclaimed by many but I found them too rough for me.
Brushes:
Omega Boar bristle. A good, go to, work-a-day boar brush. Nothing more to say.
Frank Shaving badger brush. A great little brush, it served me well despite the handle paint flaking off.
Soap samples:
A collection of Mystic Water shaving soap samples (un-used):
Bergamot Cedarwood & Juniper; Cedar & Sage; Brown Windsor; Poggio de Pini; Lily of the Valley; Marakesh; Vetiver oakmoss; Adirondack Jack; Bay Rum.
