Thanks, but I just noticed that thread was a couple of months old before it was revived. The OP hasn't posted anything on SMF in over a month. The offer may not get claimed.

I've been searching for this stuff and can't find it ANYWHERE. I've read stellar reviews of this stuff and I wanted to give it a try for my FIRST DE shave ever. Send me your address and I'll send you a tub (glass jar) that I've got laying around. I used it a bit, but not too much. It is yours free ...

Danny, Yeah, but the one that Peter just lucked into is the regular beefy one, and not the lighter weight model that Charlie reviewd, no? I must confess that I didn't actually read the review when I posted the link. :oops: I just did a quick search on the board, glanced (too briefly) at the post, a...

Nice find. It is commonly called either a HD Rocket or a Model 500 Rocket. They are generally very nice shavers.

Here is a full review of that particular razor.

i was just looking for a razor to buy why is it that people are responding to this if they do not have on for sell. instead they make dumb responses like 2000 is the model not the year. i did not want someone to try and sell me a older model. if you have a nice one to sell let me know other wise st...

The price point that the OP is interested in is not unreasonable. Most of the Visions that I have seen sold here have gone for about $75. I bought one myself here and later sold it (each time for that amount). It had very little use and was "like new".

I primarily use a Gillette 40's Super Speed, but use a Futur about a quarter of the time. If it were easier to maneuver under the nose, I would probably use it more than I do.

I bought 2 EF soaps with wooden bowls a while back and I absolutely love it. I am using one, and will probably either sell the other (still unused) or give it as a gift at some point. Tallow is listed as the first ingredient on these. A week or two ago, I got a bowl with the BB soap. Tallow is liste...

While MWF is a great soap, I rarely use mine. On the other hand, all of my Harris soaps (I have them all) get frequent use. Take that for what you will.

I hate to sabotage my own sale but this brush proves that having a super dense knot does not necessarily make a good shave brush. It feels nice on the face that's for sure but the brush has lousy 'flow through'. It is probably best suited for a bowl-latherer to properly mix (read:mash the brush) th...

I've got all of the Harris soaps in the wooden bowls (almond, lavender, marlborough, and arlington) with spare cakes of 3 of those. I have just three of the Trumper soaps in wooden bowls (almond, limes, and sandalwood) with no spare cakes. I have owned and either traded or given away the Trumper Ros...

For my money, it's Harris Lavender. I used my Trumper Rose soap so infrequently, I traded it away.

You know it. I was excited that I had found the BB with the wooden bowl. I've been after that for a while, but had not been able to find it anywhere. I have a spare bowl of English Fern soap that is still unopened. Since I don't really need to have two of those (both of them in the wooden bowl), I p...

Paul at Connaught has it and even with shipping from England it's cheaper, about $32 per tub. http://www.connaughtshaving.com/harrissc.html Thanks for the link. I just placed an order. I decided to give Marlborough another chance, and ordered a bowl of Arlington as well. Combine that with the bowl ...

I have to depend on these threads to learn of his latest shenanigans. My ebay searches specifically exclude all of his listings.

Both sites have their place. I frequent both sites, but mostly post over here. The main reason I participate over there is because of a couple of guys with "world class" collections make B&B their home, and one of them asked me to spend some more time over there. I call SMF home, but h...

I don't know if the D.R. Harris Marlborough soap that I bought was unusual or not, but I found the scent to be nice but very muted--not nearly as strong as their Lavender or Almond. I ended up trading it for another soap. I find my Marlborough to be the strongest scented of all my Harris soaps. It ...

Wow. He even has the original red box of Gillette Thin Blades--you can't get any more mint than that!

You've got to love this quote from the listing:

Yes it is possible this razor was never used. You could be the first.

Anything's possible, right?
