In Houston's Craiglist, there is/was a barber that's selling off his stash of memorabilia as he's closed up shop. 3 grand for everything, OBO.
Safety Razor Acquisition Thread.

This morning the second of my three latest vintage acquisitions arrived - this one all the way from Brisbane Australia:
A beautiful early 50's British Aristocrat #66, replated in Rhodium. Very nice indeed, a few scuffs on the back of the baseplate which the replate of course couldn't fix. But the rest is 100% perfect, I absolutely love the barber pole on the handle. Never used since the replate but I intend to have it in my regular rotation along with the rest of my small herd. It is the Empress so far of my small vintage "collection" (maybe it will have to be 2nd when the Diplomat arrives...). Can't wait to try it out, the balance and heft of it feels absolutely exquisite.
Happy days.

Beautiful indeed. Congrats!
I did that once. Antique bottles of hair and skin product, razors, photos... I stored most of it away to get to later. Later still hasn't come yet.
There is something about the barber-pole design in Rhodium that makes this razor look damn fine. What a great buy! It should shave wonderfully.
I would say your mailbox was pretty well stuffed. Congratulations......Today's mailbox stuffers:

Much Beauty on this page!!
Possibly my last vintage razor purchase, a 1926 Gillette New Standard, serial #73294B?, a bit difficult to read. The teeth are near perfect, no handle crack and only a very slight bit of brassing on the very edge of the top cap. I will have the blade box next week. Strangely enough I found the case last summer with a Old Type inside.
I will be enjoying a relaxing shave with this beauty tomorrow morning.
That's a beautiful razor, congratulations!
Love mine. It's such a beautiful razor.
