Safety Razor Acquisition Thread.

Found a near complete cased Gem Guiding Eye in the next stateover.
Unfortunately, it was the wrong case for it.

Thanks for letting me share as always!
I looked so long for a case only for my executive. Finally I found the complete set on ebay and snatched a BIN on the cheap.
 
Not that I "needed" another razor.
This one is on you guys, you know who you are:em2300:

Already shaved today so will try it tomorrow.:straight:
 
There have been so many nice score posts lately I thought I might as well get in on the fun. This is my antique market find from last weekend...saw a little plain wooden box sitting closed on a table and opened it up to reveal this (the box ended up being a Wilkinson box actually). Nice surprise! Insta grabbed this bad boy and left a happy man ;)

Happy hunting everyone

Well if there are any members with such despicable behaviour, we should definitely condemn them, or probably report them? :biggrin1:
Seriously though, I would always act as an enabler, if a razor is worth buying. 'Cause you always need new razors, even when you don't need them.
 
Haven’t posted here in a while, been eerily quiet on the acquisition front.

But thankfully today this very rare 1938 Gillette Popular #46 set arrived. Great condition set, only had one blade bank missing which I thankfully had on hand.

Seller hadn’t packed in a hard box so there were some anxiety while opening (have had bakelite cases break before in shipping). But luckily it had suffered no harm :thumbup1:

Well well well, it is indeed turning out to be a Popular week here 😁 Another one inbound. Look forward to receiving. Cool that it is unpacked NOS but the cellophane will actually sometimes turn out to be a problem as the plating touching the cellophane may have reacted over the 8 decades gone by and thus may be tarnished. But lets see 🤩
