Well done and it looks stunning!
Smile I was able to grab it! I will post more pics later this weekend but it is a remarkable handle from Peter- very cool and amazing example of the work he is putting out.

Soaps, of the mostly fragrance-free variety, namely: Cold Water Soap Works Select V.2 Sensitive, Mike's Natural Soaps Unscented, Shannon's Soaps Nil, as well as Maggard Razors Artisan soap Limes & Bergamot. And a new badger brush (Whipped Dog) to replace an Amazon one. Also, since on their site to order soap, I ordered two different synthetics from Maggard's new offerings.

I rather 'accidentally' won three auctions this weekend.
Accidentally in that I didn't think they would go for as low as my low bids - but...apparently I either have really bad taste..or people are even cheaper than I am. Or both.

Auction 1

Wilkinson Fixed Profile Metal razor. NIB/NOS
I believe this is very similar to the Royale that marketed in the US around 1980 - and designed by Sir Kenneth Grange.
If so, quite the score for me as I love the Royale razor and they sell regularly for around $50


Cost: $2.30



Auction 2
Small lot/package
I dismissed this lot at first when glancing through eBay as there was a lot of, well mostly...to be honest, 'junk' in the picture.
But - lo and behold..what do we have on the left hand side? A NIB Merkur MII !Smile Love my Merkur MII and am really happy to get a spare.
This is also a razor that sells for $50-70.
Cost: $14.99

Oh, and other things in the lot are;
- Col Ichabod Conk "Bristle and Badger", Made in England. Not overly excited about that one.
- Col Ichabod Conk Shaving mug. Meh.
- Nose and ear hair trimmer. Double-meh


Auction 3
Then I thought, well, the same seller had another auction..and they did combine shipping..so, uh, let's put an equally low bid on that one..and oops...only bidder...again.
This one is a hit/miss one and I won't really know until I can check out in person.
What it has going for it is the "Concord, Made in Italy" brand. I actually already own a cartridge handle by that company and it's a very solid, high quality piece of shaving gear.

Brand new;
- Concord, Italy, razor
- Concord, Italy Silvertip badger brush in solid metal handle
- Razor/Brush stand
- Shaving mug with what, and kinda funny, looks like a Merkur MII on it Smile
- Oh..and...another Nose and ear trimmer...

Cost:  $12


So maybe I didn't uncover any white wales this weekend but for a total of about $29 I got some really fun additions Smile

I don't have any full-sized butterscotch handled brushes so when this came up I put in a bid of $24 and ended up getting it.
The knot seems good enough to still use but will see when it gets here.

The writing on it isn't completely legible but I can make out;
One one side: Mayfair, Best Badger, Sterilized.
On the other: Made in England - and then two rows of text I can't quite make out - followed by a <C> sign.

I'm guessing it's a Vulfix brush re-branded to some retailer's store but if anyone can positively identify it I'd love to learn.

A Gillette Fusion.

Just kidding, I have a Gem G-Bar I bought in Ebay.

Hopefully, they are as good as people say they are.

Made me chuckle... Smile

Sometime last year I actually did order a cartridge razor: Feather NEO. You know? Not bad for a cartridge razor and an excellent travel option IMHO.
