New Shave Set - Modified Trac II

[luvmysuper]

I picked up a really nice shaving set with an English Fox Hunt Scene. The brush is Boar, the bowl a nice ceramic with lid, and a ceramic handled Trac II razor.

I took the Trac II head off, and mounted a top end of an old Tech handle cut off and filed down, and now have a nice razor that I can change heads between a Tech and a New, which is nice.

Washed everything up, and was going to put it all on the shelf in the Bathroom, and - Zip - The bowl shot from my fingers and dropped to the floor.

The lid is fine, but the bowl is in hundreds of pieces.


I did find an old type Scuttle on the Bay with the same scene, so I bought that and it's on the way.

Man I hate when stuff like that happens.

Nice bit of surgery on the handle. Use it in good health!

Was just going to congratulate you on your find, and modification, when I read the last bit....... Well, at least you have the razor and brush!

Very retro. Looks like a set that could have been made at that time. Enjoy!

does the bulge in the razor handle act as a nice balance point when you're shaving?

There was a scuttle like this one i saw recently in a charity shop for £2.99/$4, you have a nice set.

It does actually. The bulge prevents grabbing so high up on the handle, which I have a tendency to do.
