Gillette Gold Tech

The only Mourning equipment I have is an old gold ball-end Tech. I hijacked it from my grandfather back in the 70's to use as a travel razor. The 3 piece design broke down flat whereas the Gillette adjustable I used did not. I have carried it in my Dopp bag ever since. The only other thing is an old GI shaving mirror I carry in there also.

Edit: Forgot an old Super Speed. Don't use it much anymore. Prefer 3 piece razors

Mostly razors but I do have a shaving soap or two and some blades that would also fit the no longer in production arsenal.

All of my razors are out of production:

Schick Injectors E2, G1, I1, I2, L1.

Gillette ball-end old type, New short-comb, New long-comb, ball-end tech.

1912 Gem Damaskeene (2), Gem Jr.

Original Schick injector cartridge w/ blades for the E2.

An unopened pack of Gillette thin blades included w/ Gillette New long-comb.

All shaving brushes, soaps, creams and razor blades are current production.

Almost all my razors are "Mourning"

The only other "Mourning" products I have are some NOS Schick injector blades from the 1970s or 80s.

I have consolidated a bit and I actually have a few less vintage items today than when I made the post.

Do you have any interesting discontinued aftershaves?

Well, ALL of my razors are discontinued except for the Muhle R41. I'm not going to list them all, but going to the cabinet and counting, then realizing what I have in storage, it was over 31 razors (Yikes! I didn't know!). In storage there have to be another maybe 10 unique rezors that I didn't count, SSs, Techs, a Fatboy, 3 VAS, SE Razors. Yikes! Gee, I guess I just lost track and had no clue what I've actually acquired.

Soaps:
P160
RazoRock XXX
Barbershop Pro
Burma Shave

Blades:
Gillette Platinum-Plus

A/S:
I might have a few, but I just don't care enough about them. With a few exceptions.

A bottle of Old Spice with a few shakes remaining that I bought in the '70s.
KF 80 Below
That's it. The rest I don't care for anymore, not even to find out if they're mourning A/Ss. They're just too strongly scented.

I ought to do a few Mournful Monday shaves and use up the Old Spice.

Excluding razors (only the Merkur and EJ are still being made):

Blades:
Super Iridium
Bleue Extra

Soaps:
Ralph Lauren Safari
Vintage Williams
Irisch Moos

Aftershave:
Cade splash
Floid Blue

Acca Kappa

I did not realize that Acca Kappa discontinued their shaving cream. That does not sound like a good move on their part as I had only heard good things about it.

I heard it was being reformulated at least. But maybe that's not the tub version, I'll remove it.

You are probably right...no need to remove it. I no longer carry Acca Kappa so am not as attuned to the changes.
