17 ! only ! pfeeew.. I thought you were cured, healed rid of your ADS I thought this guy found the solution.

im GLAD im WRONG :rofl:rofl

[qhsdoitall]

17 ! only ! pfeeew.. I thought you were cured, healed rid of your ADS I thought this guy found the solution.

im GLAD im WRONG :rofl:rofl

Hey, why not. I paid something like $24 for the lot. I should be able to get one or two decent razors out of it. And no, the ADS didn't go away. It's just pickier and different priorities. They'll be some razor freebies I'm sure coming to here once I sort through them. Right now, I'm working on using up all my sample soaps, creams and blades.

[Padron]

What is the name of this coffee shop that you took a picture of. ;)

[TstebinsB]

125 blade dispenser of Wilkinson Sword Viking DE Blades. These say "Made in England."

They are old blades so I was worried they would no longer be good. I corked one and used it for today's shave. It was sharp but very smooth. Great first impression.

[Padron]

I mistakenly attributed these to Saint Charles Shave. They are from The Gentleman's Quarter. My abject apology to Colleen and to Sue.
I have so many of items from both that my poor mind sometimes gets lost.

[IsaacRN]

Bill Ellis hooked me up with this nice razor

Wade and Butcher 7/8 Wedge razor.....

ITS HEAVY...never felt a weight like this.

[Mottern Man]

Hello Nurse!

If that bad boy don't work out for you................CALL ME! :drool

[Mottern Man]

Diogenes Club?


What is this, I have not seen it.

I WANT ANSWERS. :D

[IsaacRN]

You'd be suprised how heavy it is Will. I was quite shocked at the weight of it.

My haul from TGQ:

(Thanks, Colleen!)

[jlander]

Diogenes Club?


What is this, I have not seen it.

I WANT ANSWERS. :D

It's a custom soap that Sue put together for another forum (like Charles did with the QED Wild Rose). Bergamot & Tobacco with touches of vanilla and something else floral.
I drooled all over the box when I opened it.
It shaves as good as it smells.

[Padron]

Man, some sweet hauls today :drool:drool

Nice blade Isaac :D

Hi Jay,

Can you please do a mini review /review of the English Fern soap? I love the cologne, but the soap is pretty spendy. I'm interested in your thoughts.

Thanks!

[moviemaniac]

now that's some SPLENDID hauls there, gents! ::

I got a lil' package from Berlin today:

- 1 bar of Nestidante Bosco Incantato soap
- 1 vintage shaving stick "lunhs rasierseife"

[herzi]

Today arrived:
115 Lord blades :drool

Spanish Aqua Velva AS 200ml
Spanish Williams Sport ASB 100ml

I smelled on the two Spanish things and I have to say I think I don't like the scent but I will test it. Perhaps, if I don't like them I can find somebody here who likes them ;)

[TraderJoe]

Spanish Williams Sport ASB 100ml


More info, please :drool

[Mottern Man]

if I don't like them I can find somebody here who likes them ;)

More info, please :drool


I think you found him.

[crackstar]

Lunhs????? Was ist das, Klaus?? Hast du Dalli Werke Rasierseife probiert?

[TraderJoe]

Thanks once more to Thomas (DragonBoy) for his recommendations on Muehle Pinsel brushes.

I liked the silvertip so much, I decided to pick up the pure (best?) badger. Its awesome!

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u239/TraderJoe_album/mpbrush.jpg

Also, I got some of their Oakmoss & Mint aloe vera soap which was reformulated in August 2006 (the other version I had which was lousy was an old batch):

This stuff is also awesome, lathers like a Champ:

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u239/TraderJoe_album/muehlepinsel.jpg

Olba's Oil
Mitchell's Woolfat Soap

[jramire2]

[MCsommerreid]

Imperial "The Improved Eagle" straight razor thats going to be my first restoration razor.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/MCsommerreid/12e0_3.JPG.jpg

Already managed to get most of the rust and pitting off via the sand paper method.

[moviemaniac]

Lunhs????? Was ist das, Klaus?? Hast du Dalli Werke Rasierseife probiert?
It's a vintage shaving soap, probably 50 years old or even older. There's not much information on the net so I practically know nothing about it. Erik from 1001Seife has a few in his shop, that's where I bought mine.
And nope, I haven't yet tried the Dalli-stick.

[crackstar]

Klaus, I have a Dalli stick, and it's fantastic. The scent, the lather, and skincare are very, very good. Apparently the company got taken over by Maurer & Wirtz, who produce the Tabac line. The Dalli stick is made with olive oil, and glycerin, so right away, you're guaranteed to have excellent skin.

[moviemaniac]

sounds good to me :D

[minderasr]

Today I received a nice wooden bowl of Geo F. Trumpers Sandalwood shaving soap.

Here is the additional info I owe you. The left one is, I think you know what it is. It is made by Sara Lee Spain. The right is the Williams Sport ASB. It has a fresh scent and good moisturizing and healing effects.

Unfortunately I don't care very much for the scent. I tried them today. So I will sell or trade them soon.

Cool Str8s! Using a camera phone or a regular camera? There might be a macro feature if it's a regular camera.

[IsaacRN]

Regular digital camera.....darn blade wont stay open on the W&B

[IsaacRN]

This is better.....suppose to be a really old blade....not really sure how old..so its not in pristine condition. I think i may replace the scales at some point

[PalmettoB]

Issac, I think you might have gotten one of the last Fillys that CS had!

[IsaacRN]

I did....and it was honed by Lynn. Like 20 minutes after I purchased it...i went back....and it was sold out.

[redorchestra]

Two used safety razors. I bought both in an antique store in Perth Ontario.
One TTO English gillette and a 1932 three piece. Both have their original boxes. One has a picture of King Gillette.
