Compliments of my Valentine:
Razor bank from PAA
Stirling Badger - I just LOVE the shape of that handle!
That DE will likely be the best of the bunch. The Star DE is a classic and is an excellent shaver. Kind of like a pre-war Tech, but perhaps a little bit more efficient. Almost everybody who tries a Star DE ends up really liking it. Good score.Package from eBay today. This was a “three fer” deal. I mostly only wanted the Treet and Star baton handle razors. The double edge Star razor was part of the package. I know nothing about Star DE’s.

Which iKon razor is that? Is it the Tek?Purchases for January (+100 Gillette 7 o'clock yellows I forgot to put in pic).
It may be an expensive 2021 at this rate

Definitely a red tip, and the Superspeed looks like a late 40s "no date code" version, which is the best one they ever made. Great score!View attachment 1222388View attachment 1222394View attachment 1222396View attachment 1222397
It was a good day at the antique shops. All told, this haul was just about $35. The brush came with the mug, a cheap plastic handle with that old knot. I'm not sure if it's worth doing anything with it, but the rest looks pretty cool. At first glance, the razors appear to be an older SuperSpeed and a Red Tip, but I should know more once they get spiffed up.
Absolutely right, a 40s SS with no date code. The Red Tip I found out yesterday after some love with some soapy water had a date code of 4th quarter 1956. My father was born 4th quarter of '56. So that was an extra special stroke of luck.Definitely a red tip, and the Superspeed looks like a late 40s "no date code" version, which is the best one they ever made. Great score!

Saw it reviewed on the Agent Shave website, and decided to give it a whirl. Your praise of it the other day made my mind up! And as a big Cyprus fan, it’s close enough!oh i see you went Greek

No comments here, just to tell that this little gem on the right is one of the best vegan soaps out there, after my no1, Southern Witchcrafts.
