The Haul: July 30th - August 5th, 2007

[PalmettoB]

So what's the slow ol' USPS bringing you this week? :rofl

Post it up, folks! What'd ya get?

[Kingpepper]

I just received a Gillette Richwood for one of my uncles. With a little research, this was made in the 1920's. It looks like it was gold plated but there is very little left. The outside of the box is in fair shape. The printing on the inside is "good". I haven't cleaned and sanitized it yet. Not sure what to polish it with.

nice razor, Paul, tell us how it cleans up!

I for myself experienced a miracle today: I've been looking for the (since the beginning of this year) discontinued "Sir Irisch Moos" shaving cream and shaving soap for a long, long time - I've probably searched over 20 or 30 stores by now but not a single one had even a single tube or stick left.
Today I went with my parents to a big department store in a city about 30 minutes from where we live.
And there they were: At the end of a rack, hidden beneath all the goop in the can and 500-bladed razors and whatnot else: three tubes of the shaving cream and two shaving sticks. Now there are none left :D

I also bought while I was there:
- 100grams of Twinings Vintage Darjeeling tea in a metal tub
- 200grams of Twinings English Breakfast tea in a metal tub
- some minor stuff (chewing gum, household soap...)

all in all a VERY successful day ::

Thanks Joe.
Your recompense should go out tomorrah ;)

[PalmettoB]

Not sure what to polish it with.

Try some MAAS (available at Wal-Mart or most places like that) or Flitz metal polish.

Might need a toothbrush or a Q-tip in the detailed areas.

I've had good results using Mother's polish which may be similar to MAAS. The Q-tips are ready! Thanks!

[SSLSTudio...]

Arrived just now

Aqua Velva lets see what the fuzz is all about.

3rd recipy of my soaper from Italy lets see if has learned from his mistakes and actually listends to me what im telling him to do..... :eek:

[crackstar]

Boubi, if those soaps work good now, count me in for one. If not, Corinne'll kick him in the butt with one of her stilletto heeled shoes.

[minderasr]

Not shave related, but I just scored the 2 disc special edition set of the 300 dvd.

:cool:

[Kingpepper]

Cleaned the Richwood with Scubbie Bubbles and then boiled it in water vinegar mixture. polished it with Mother's polish and though not perfect, it looks good. the razor is currently in a bottle of Barbercide and I'll try it out later this week. Now what blade to use in this.

:think002

well, better saddle the attack horse then, Jeff, someone whispered to me the soap still needs improvement ;)

@Paul: Try either a Derby or an Israeli Personna with it. If you don't have any of those ... well, then post what you've got :D

Du bist 100% bullseye Klaus,

there is improvement in the soap lathers really quick ! major improvement over previous versions but the lather will dissapear after about 30-40 seconds so to me its a nice preshave soap not a shave soap. similar responds like the Musgo Real lime preshave soap. VERY similar very slick. still its missing an ingredient im sure and I dont believe you didnt use olive oil..he must have used it still.

[johnniegold]

to add to my Polar Ice. Just received this from TBBS. Thanks David. Btw the way, imo, these all smell great. The Iced Lime is similar to the Royall Lyme.

[minderasr]

Today my Norton 4000/8000 wetstone came in! Can't wait to get busy "honing" my skills.

:D

[PalmettoB]

[SSLSTudio...]

Holy smokes Jlander... you got it BAD ! really BAD ! :drool:drool

[IsaacRN]

Joe hooked me up with my first razors. All i had to do was Boil....clean with a toothbrush..scrub with some MAAS. I think they turned out well. My toothbrush tastes funny though.

[rick]

Isaac:

Nice selection there.
Throw a Feather in the Superspeed and let er rip.
Youll thank me later.

[SSLSTudio...]

I would say throw a Feather in the Techrazor and thank me now ! :rofl

serious I like the Techrazor very much but be carefull of the angle it takes a different angle then most of the other razors you have there ! if its wrong it wont cut a thing when its dead on you will get a very nice shave !

Nice Collection !

[IsaacRN]

Which is the Tech and which is the superspeed :).......i dont know jack :P

[SSLSTudio...]

Which is the Tech and which is the superspeed :).......i dont know jack :P

From top to bottom

1- Gillette Tech
2-Superspeed
3-Superspeed
4- Gillette Thin Handle.

The tech is the only 3 piece so easy to identify the golden toned one.
Nr2 is some superspeed aswell but it probably has a special name by itself its not your regular superspeed. sorry dont OWN the Gillette Collectors Bible.

[Mottern Man]

Yea........If that number 2 dosen't work out for you..........CALL ME! :D

Number 4 is also referd to as a Slim Adjust, or the Fat Boy's brother from another mother.

[minderasr]

Today's score:

D.R. Harris Lavender shave stick, which my brother picked up for me from Pasteur Pharmacy. Followed by a goof gift my parents picked up at a local Goodwill Store, a Burma-Shave Holiday Gift Set (soap puck, mug, and shaving brush).

:cool:

[Mottern Man]

I got the same Burma package but the mug was broke. I will buy the mug, less you like the goof gift. :D

BTW, the soap is good stuff.

[TraderJoe]

#2 is the forerunner to the Super Speed, the Ranger Tech. Only made in '41, then stopped due to WWII. Very nice selection of razors, BTW.

[IsaacRN]

Joe really hooked me up with them. I had to do some cleaning and polishing, but well worth it. There was one stipulation. A pay it forward for the next person who wants to learn the sacred art of wet shaving.

[qhsdoitall]

Really nice haul Jay.

Rick? Are you like going to take a bath with all the Velva. I know I'm bad but 5 bottles? :D

[SSLSTudio...]

Shopped today and found a Bio Darjeeling Black Tea at the ALDI ! :eek::drool:drool and Oh Yeah it tastes great all you need is one tea spoon of the stuff hot water on top in a cup wait 2-3 min depending how strong you want it great taste a bag of this set me back about 5 euros.

by accident I think I got another new soap from Italy to try , well I shall give this one away .

From Parker Razors 34 razors. Model R22 and R95. these models are redesigned from ground up. I could def. feel the improved weight .
Got one razor for Free from Mr Parker to test the R95 out for him.
feels VERY familiar to have a LONG handle in the hand. im pretty impressed he listened but I got some more advice for him.

excuse the bad pics I must make a new one they do no justice to the new models.Parker claims they are now heavier then a Merkur HD , I cant tell I dont have a Merkur HD in my hand..

[rick]

Really nice haul Jay.

Rick? Are you like going to take a bath with all the Velva. I know I'm bad but 5 bottles? :D
Im stocking up for the Apocalypse ;)
10 bottles in reserve.
We went to WallyMart for a few things....sniff the Blue SkinBracer (Id heard it smelled like Polo Green - IT DID NOT !!:mad:) and found the AV musk for $3 a bottle. Had to buy it all :D
