Re:

Here's what's happened with my vintage Rooney since I first posted about it a month ago. I listed it on ebay with a starting minimum bid of $40.

Re: 3P Shaving Soap Where?

Know that Connaught used to have 3P shaving soap in 150gm units, as well as the current 1kg. Shaving.ie has 1kg. But don't see the 150gm at Connaught anymore. Anyone happen to know who else might carry it? (Italianbarber comes up on a web search, but what he has is the pre/post shave cream, not the...

We all will do, or have done, some things like that. I know I have. It always makes me laugh out loud! That's how I keep myself entertained! And it just gets worse the older one gets. OK, so I tell myself it's 'cause I'm so busy. It probably is, I still know where I live though and can find home. T...

the tuckaway generally came in silver plated & gold plated versions. however, there was a recent auction on uk ebay for a mint tuckaway with outer shipper indicating it was plated in nickle-so there you go. http://www.ebay.com/itm/220884606414?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_...
