Yeah, I saw that earlier, that is pretty incredible

Instead of posting pictures again, I have added these to the collectors corner. I found all of these this weekend at a flea market. One is a British Eveready that looks like the GEMS reffered to as "G model" which looks the same but has a G where the empty circle is on mine. http://www.sha...

This is my collection as of now...

Haven't seen any others of these...I have seen the similar GEM no-name razor sometimes called "The G" razor (by withthegrain I think). But this is not a GEM branded one. It is a British made Everyready. It is also brand new, never opened! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/rnconync/bri...

Patrick, The best that I've used has been from Bronnley, but it's not that easy to get. The Lavender Hand Cream from C&E seemed quite good, I thought. Regards, Gordon I agree with the Lavender hand cream, they also have a rose that works well too. But I think my favorite from C&E was the sa...

haha... Be careful trying to get too close too soon. Irritation may not happen on the first or even second shave, but if you keep trying to get too close day after day it will happen unless you're lucky enought to have skin like leather like I do. The biggest mistake people make when they first swit...

Well, I just got my packs of feather blades from Pauldog yesterday and gave one a spin last night! I am very pleased with my first try of them! I will have to keep using them for a while and see if the trend continues. If it does, then I will be moving from Derby's to Feathers! So far I have have go...

I've never had much luck at antique stores. While it is fun to browse at first, it soon becomes frustrating because some collector nut was there at 7am scooping up the razors. A while ago a gent contacted me saying he found a Wilkinson sticky at a yard sale in great condition (in the US), as they a...

haha...I have been slowly visiting every antique shop within reasonable distance...This weekend, I hit it good in one town. Found the 2 schick 66's in one shop, the 2 schick adjustable and gillette adjustables all in another shop...Also saw a "The New" in the box but didn't pick that one u...

Well, this weekend in my searching...I came upon some great finds! This weekend I was able to pick up: - 2 Schick 66 Injectors (blue bakelite handles with "cracked ice" type metal head) in brand new condition (still had blank insert where blade goes)! - 2 Schick M series adjustable razors ...

Check what I wrote in the last part of this thread and read the wiki links and make your own decision. But from what I gather, the suggestion I have heard some other people say would work just the same and is available for most locally.... And that is picking up a crystal deoderant stick...from what...

yup! :) Just for anyone who is interested...this is a post I made over at B&B about someone asking an alum block question..some of it is repeated, but the rest is new info! I just picked up an "antique" alum block that I found among some shaving stuff at a local antique/collector place...

Cigar Dan: I saw one of the 45's on ebay about a month ago advertised as a coronation razor. I should have made a better play for it. If I had seen this ad first, I would have. I already have the 58 and the 66, but they are not coronation editions. Check out this thread on B&B if you have not se...

haha...lot's of good info here... Iprobably never would have thought of an alum block if it wern't for here, but for some reason lately, it's become a topic of discussion and I just got interested in trying it out.. It's basically used as an aftershave...you can even read direction on the box from t...

Well, I decided what the heck and picked up the alum bar! I got it for $1.50 at one of the local antique shops. Here are a few pictures of it...don't know how old it is...but I decided what the heck and washed it off pretty darn good after taking it out of the sealed box. I then gave it a try after ...

haha...except for the razors!

I was thinking the same...but don't know if alum changes/goes bad with age? who knows...anyone else think I should try it?
