Monthly Haul: March 2022

Gentlemen, let's see those acquisitions in March.

Got this Simpson KH1 (keyhole) for $30 shipped with an Old Spice mug. I'm pretty happy about it. 
The sticker is wearing away, so you can now see it was covering the engraved Simpson brand under "Best Badger" underneath. 
Makes me wonder if it came that way or someone just stuck it on there back when... I'm not removing or replacing the sticker

Great score, Mike! It’s a beautiful example of an old butterscotch handle. Thanks for sharing

A Rocket in excellent condition.

Nice. On deck for tomorrow, or your usual straight razor Sunday?

Charlie, I used my new Rocket on Saturday, the day it arrived.  It's my second Rocket so I'm familiar with how it shaves.  It works very well for me.  While I use a straight much of the time, I have a thing for TTO's.

Arriving yesterday:

1.  Two Parker razor stands from BullGoose.  Solid brass with chrome plating. 

2.  A 1941 Ranger Tech in excellent condition from a TSN member.  My second 1941 Ranger Tech. 

Not to duplicate from the save the Gillette's thread, but I picked up a tub of vintage razors yesterday. 
2 Fatboys, 2 slims, sick F type, and a bunch of Gem and Superspeeds. 
After about 3 hours polishing the F type it's starting to look really good.

Good-looking razor, Ricardo.

Helluva haul, Mike.   
The Schick looks cool. I have never used anything like that. From what I have read over the years, these are beloved and aggressive. Confirm or deny...

This won't arrive until April, but I have always been intrigued by the DX. I have a folding SS and it is a great shaver, but the design might give me room to find the right approach to my neck. 
Details at 11:00

Thank you, Primo.  I already have a Rocket, but this one was in such excellent condition that I had to get it.

These are two tallow soaps I've enjoyed in the past which are no longer available.  Thank you to the generous TSN member who sent me these.

 

I am sort of on a roll...

4 Ingredients indicate OG + Cosmair.

An old style bottle of L'Orange Noir. One of my favorite scents. I have the newer style bottle, but I kind of like the older style and label. Plus it's never bad to have a backup. Right? Anyone?

Nice. Very, very nice.
