Looking forward to a review

Will do. In the mean time, I found this interesting:

Weekly Razor Review

Its taken a while but well worth the wait to see the Blackbird SB reviewed. Thanks again @Errol for the commitment and honesty as I always assumed this one to be way too much blade feel but seems not to be thee case...? :unsure:

Meant to post Wednesday when this came in. Timeless SS 0.68 SB. Such a smooth amd efficient razor.

I decided to do something I have never done before. I just bought a razor in terrible condition for less than $5. This Y2 Super-Speed (1953) was all black. On some places where the nickel was lost there were green patina spots. I had to put much effort to clean it, but I think it was worth it. The mechanism wasn't smooth at all. Midway you could feel it stuck for a fraction of a second and then it went further before tightening. Now it is all smooth. Gaps are even. A fully functional razor.

Nice work!

Bought a lot of 10 Gillette razors for a steal. 5 Super Adjustables and 5 black handled Flair Tips. Only a couple were shave worthy. These two are the best of the bunch.

The 'Merica razor. It came in one piece but the packaging was a bit less than what I expected.

What is the soap in the wood bowl?

What is the soap in the wood bowl?

Dalit goods sandalwood shaving soap - coconut obased. Unfortunately a bit of underwhelming performer IMO - produces quite an airy and fluffy lather - I’ll most likely be using it as bath soap instead and just keep the bowl for some other shaving soap. At least it does smell good - a bit of darker sandalwood scent

That set is beautiful. I only have a case that I stuck a Travel Tech into it.

$10 pre-war tech. Couldn't pass on it, cleaned up beautifully.

With the box? You have to at that price

Yep, ebay scores do happen, though the box is missing the insert.
