The Haul: October 1st -- October 7th, 2007

[Smedley]

These little beauties.

The str8 is a "Gemco". The GEM is from our very own auction haus. ::

[IsaacRN]

Those are nice scales..what are they made of?

[Smedley]

Those are nice scales..what are they made of?

Honestly? Not sure. I'm not an expert in scale construction. Probably Bakelite, or something like it. Not mother of pearl, not iridescent enough.

[PalmettoB]

Nice stuff, David.

Antique Store
Gem Junior Brass Single Edged Safety Razor. $9. Cleaned up really well.

Update on 17 Distressed Safety Razors - I cleaned the rest of the razors up to see what was under all the crap. I was able to get most of them into pretty good shape. I did however scrap a 30s Gillette Brass Tech with knob end. It had cracks all over the place, the unknown str8 has a hairline crack near the tip so this is a practice honing project and the Gem Single Edged with wood handle had just too much metal fatigue. I was able to replace the Brass Tech with a really nice one so that was cool. The British Slim Twists both have decent heads but the plastic white slip on handles have cracks at the tips where it slides onto the head. I have to either super glue the cracks if possible or find some type of replacement handles either original or after market. The heads have a small grooved stem that slides/grips into the top of the handle. If I was handy with wood this would be an interesting project. I'm not handy at anything so that's out. :D

[IsaacRN]

keep us updated :P

[Sejanus]

Received a shipment from TSD today!

Orange, Blueberry and Avalanche Soap!

Hoorah for Jo!

[Lyrt]

Last Saturday, I bought an entry-level, no-nonsense pipe from Saint-Claude to do some practice. And my third pipe is en route.

[Queen of Blades]

Received a shipment from TSD today!

Orange, Blueberry and Avalanche Soap!

Hoorah for Jo!

Orange, Blueberry,& Avalanche soap doesn't sound good to me, but YMMV. :p

Those would be 3 separate soaps, guys. :D

You forgot something, Ken. :rolleyes:

I used to have one that looked very similar to that one. Is there a little round clay stone in the lid?

The stone is missing but there's a place for it, maybe it's yours. :eek: :D
The one I had only held pipes, wish I had saved all that stuff!!

[IsaacRN]

Thats pretty cool if you ask me :)

[jbcohen]

Might also be able to help out in your shave den as well.

[Infotech]

I picked up a slightly used Kent Bk4 went up for sale on SMF. After a little haggling, I pulled the trigger on it. Should be here in about 6 days

I was going to wait and get an SR 3320 or 22 but at the price I got the Bk4, I couldn't pass it up. The SR will have to wait a couple of months.

I hear alot about that Floris....how is it?

[desmoface]

Their cream is among the best I've tried, I'm a newbie though, only have a few (C&E, AOS, Proraso, TOBS). The santal smells great, though. Haven't tried the soap yet, tomorrow it get's it's maiden voyage. I expect it will be very good tough.

Try painting a little acetone (or nail polish remover) on those cracks in the plastic. When it softens, squeeze together, then use a small spatula to smooth it. Keep clamped until it's dry.

Spoken like a man with experience!

[jramire2]

woo hoo! a big A#$ package was waiting for me on Monday; All soaps came in glass anchor bowls w/lids from Target;

Truefitt & Hill Luxury Soap
Harris Arlington Soap(thankfully, this one is NOT defective and lathers like mad)
Taylors Sandalwood Soap (my first Tobs soap)
Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet soap (we'll see if this tops my floris)

One new tub Castle Forbes Lavender shaving cream

And from ebay;

1 15% glycolic acid face wash (this stuff has been amazing so far)

[fritz]

Spoken like a man with experience!
Yes. I've used that technique a few times, most recently on a couple of old Schick E-2 razors that had cracks in the plastic handle where it joins the head.
The acetone just softens the plastic and then you can re-mold it.

[desmoface]

Hiya Joshua, wow, thats quite a delivery. You should be in shaving bliss for quite some time LOL. I'm really interested to hear how you like these soaps, especially the Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet soap. Also, how it compares to your Floris.

I just used my Floris JF soap this morning and was not disapointed. Congrat's.

Floris soap = :drool The JF scent is great, but I'm not too sure about the elite just yet.

Bar none, the only soap that I've found to perform just as much protection as a cream but still allows me to get a closer shave as most soaps allow.

[Padron]

Sweet hauls guys!!

Beautiful razors Isaac :drool:drool:drool

Thanks Fritz, I'll give that a try. Nothing lost if it doesn't work.

If I knew how to work in wood, this would be a great project to make new handles with a plastic sleeve insert in the top. Kind of like new scales on a str8. Oh well.

[qhsdoitall]

You're not the only one. I have to "restock" my soaps. I also got some peppermint on Issy's recommendation to use after I do my mid day work when I'm trying to shower and cool out before going back to my desk. The peppermint soap should help speed up the cool out process.

[SSLSTudio...]

I picked up a slightly used Kent Bk4 went up for sale on SMF. After a little haggling, I pulled the trigger on it. Should be here in about 6 days

I was going to wait and get an SR 3320 or 22 but at the price I got the Bk4, I couldn't pass it up. The SR will have to wait a couple of months.

Since I use the Derby blade almost everyday I just had to try the Shave Cream.. I got it out of eBay for almost nothing.. I got all 4 flavours..

Sorry to tell ya Way Crap creams what ever you paid you paid too much,
nothing too natural ingredients with the Derby Creams... their blades are ok the Creams..can go to the toilet.... my Humble opinion.. wanna get started into creams go

- Euro Palmolive
-VGH
-Erasmic
-Musgo Real.

the better starting creams not too $$$$ and way less toxic then Derby.
I once got the Menthol to try for free,, the only Menthol is on the package to be found.
that said YMMV as always,,,

I got a couple French gems today:

Pre de Provence shave soap :drool
Institut Karite aftershave balm

Just tried them both, have to say I'm very happy with this purchase. The sage smell of the Pre de Provence soap is great and unlike any other in my rotation, excellent lather too :happy088

The only thing I would fault it on for a true pipe tool would be the pointed blade. As a knife/pipe tool combination it's really really nice. As a strict pipe tool, I would want a rounded blunt end scraper instead so as not to dig up the inside of the pipe. .

:confused: There is a rounded blunt end scraper on the back of the knife. Look closely at the second photo.


Edit:
There are two types of Laguiole pipe tools. The one I acquired which includes a blade, a scraper, a poker and a tamper. Then there are those with no blade, like the one below:

Honestly, it works the same as my friend’s $5 tamper and Doc's nail. It’s just I like beautiful objects and I respect craftsmanship. Craftsmanship: a dying concept in France.

and BTW, either get a Dupont or dont waste your $$ on a lighter.
I’m actually hesitating between three lighters. The first is a Dunhill Sport, but given its price it’s out of question (around $350~400). Then there’s a Dupont Xtend which I find more appealing than their classical models. Finally, there’s a Porsche that is really tempting. See pics below:

Man Boubi to tell you honestly these are more birthday gifts then I ever got since the last 10 years and I bet its even 15 years .

For moustache razor, obviously:

Why ? If I only have a Merkur Vision ok perhaps id need this one the Vision is large under the nose.. no thank Ill keep my lip as is...

[crackstar]

LOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL what can I say, Boubi! Enjoy the goodies, and watch your step with those Merkurs! I never realized you like Lavendor so much, I know it's still pretty popular in Israel. I should tell my aunt and uncle to send me a few more. I won't use them, but I could send them to you, because this way, they'll be put to good use. The Floid cream's good, daddy used it many years ago, but the tubes back then were bigger!

A little Saturday trip to TJ Maxx with the lovely wife. Clearance!
Olive Oil Soap from Italy, two pair of Sterling cufflinks and a stainless bowl which I'm told is for cotton balls in the bathroom but a refill of Crabtree and Evelyn fit right in with a nudge. Total $10.73! :D

JM Boswell from PA
Great pipemaker

I've been in his shop a few times. Nice stuff, and great people. Only about 15 miles from where my in-laws live. Got a free sample or two of pipe tobacco when last I was there. And a coupla CAO Italia cigars. I only have one JM Boswell pipe, though. I gotta work on that!

Lyrt, nice tamper, BTW!! :drool

Thanks Joe. Wanted to try a couple and with shipping costs and decent prices, figured I'd get a bunch. I'm anxious to try them too. :D
