Congrats! Have you used Mondial before?

The score. I just found this sub-forum and I think it's a great idea. so I walked into the flea Mart well more like antique shop with glass cases, View attachment 853783 as I begin to look around specifically for straight razors this was my score. It came with a little leather box but it doesn't have the same name brand. I'd like to take up straight razor shaving so I thought this $9 investment might get me started.

Great find!

I wasn't expecting this until February, but it came in the mail today from Massdrop! I'm super excited to use this tomorrow.View attachment 853860 View attachment 853861 View attachment 853862

Congrats. I thought about getting a Feather but haven't so far.

I have not. Looking forward to it. The brush was a bit floppy.

First SE razor. Almost new condition. Verdict on the shave will be tomorrow as a morning straight shave took care of things for today.

Nice looking G-Bar. Mine is a fine shaver. I just don't use it very often.

Coming soon a Gem G-Bar

Tis the season it seems!

I’m looking forward to trying it out. I usually prefer an aggressive razor, but I LOVE the Art Deco style of this one.

G-Bar is a great looking razor. Probably my favorite, as far as looks go, of any razor I've had. Little on the mild side, as has been mentioned, but hope you guys enjoy yours!

The Rocket HD is one classy razor ... and an excellent shaver. Enjoy!!

Thanks Ron. I keep looking at it. The handle looks like it is made of a liquid it is so shiny and smooth. It's almost too nice to use, but that Elite Manchurian knot is calling.

Did someone get as good a deal as I think they did? (I tried to bid at the last second but wasn't logged in and missed it.)
$42 for all this...

Those razors look to be in pretty good condition.

That is a steal! The three Old Spice mugs or the Red Tip could have easily have gone for that price alone!
