This is a great idea except how did you get mail delivery today? It's a legal holiday.

amazon, ftw.

Ah! I've had Sunday delivery and same day delivery from them. I didn't realize they had holiday delivery, as well.

I picked up three razors this week and I'm not certain about what I have. I'm pretty sure one is a New Long Comb, another I believe is a Fat Handle Gold Tech and I believe the final one is a 1941 Aristocrat. The Aristocrat has no notches in the center bar and nothing stamped on the inside of the baseplate. There are no endcaps either, though I suppose they could've been removed. Any ideas?

Just came in the mail on my anniversary.  Stirling sharp dressed man soap and AS.  They included a free bay rum bath soap sample. First impressions are that of excellent quality, and everything smells phenomenal. I can't wait to give it a try. 

My Postman is good to me ... today, he brought me this!

Schwingggg!!!








It's a 'New Gem' circa 1900.

... takes a modern blade, kinda

That is a beautiful lather catcher.

Thanks! This New Gem is hot on the heels of a lovely Kampfe Star that arrived the other day ...









I have shaved with this one and really enjoyed it. It's not up there with my GEM Junior Bar, but it was a great shave. I've yet to try the New Gem (above post).

Cheers!
