Received two packages in the mail today. Package one contained two Gillette SS razors from GDCarrington and package two contained a Omega 10005 brush that I purchased off eBay.

Enjoy them all, Johhny. The razors look absolutely pristine!

Johnny enjoy those two Super Speeds and let us know what you think of each. Believe me, with the excess of those that I have, it's litter mates will not miss them one bit. I still have two each of those in the same condition that are available.

Thanks for buying them from me. It is appreciated.

Johnny, great haul! Personally I prefer the 40s superspeed over the 50s but they still do great. That brush is a nice one that I've had my eye on for a while.

Here is another item that came across my desk. I have had a few come across recently. It was crusty and cranky and could not even open.
After some TLC and some TriFlow, I was able to get it to move and open up.
After a lot more cleaning and work this is the finished result. It still has a little bit of internal tightness when opening but the TriFlow has seemed to work out most of the issues.
This one looks better in person than the photos show.

The issue is this is not the only Sheraton I have, so this one may be dispositioned at a later date.

Again, beautiful work, GD. I have a Sheraton and as much as I like my open combs, this one not so much. I thought the concept of a TTO open comb was a great idea but it is not a great shaver for me.

Here is the reason why I discussed the Sheraton that required more work first, because I received another one this week that was in a box and did not require a lot of work to polish up. This one is remaining in my collection.

I picked up some maca root shave cream from the body shop today. I'll likely use it for my next shave here in the next day or two.

A good friend from another forum (Luke) was going to PIF me some Feather Injector Blades his brother had sent him from Japan. He told me he was going to add a few goodies and hoped I did not mind. Well, the box arrived this morning and I could of not been more surprised. In the box was the Feather Injector Blades, a Schick I2 Hydro-Magic Razor, a tiny, tiny, Feather Travel Razor, and some Vikings Blades. WOW!, what a haul.
