December 2016 acquisitions

Very nice.
I've been looking at test tube holders recently.
I was a bit off by two of the holes being bigger but that is a fantastic idea.

It's easy to do with a basic fret saw...took about a minute to do both ends. At some point I'll probably sand it down a little and maybe varnish or polish it, but it looks pretty good as it is. They are often available on eBay for under £10.

Received a couple of Wolfman "Darwin" handles in the mail - one polished and one satin - as well as a Wolfman razor stand;

Here they are - satin one sporting a satin Wolfman DC head and the polished head a BBS-1 head;

The stand is hands down the nicest one I've seen and hold a razor in an almost majestic way;

Quick video here showing off the handle and stand a bit.

I already have some Wolfman items but am constantly surprised at the quality and craftmanship - everything was absolutely perfect.

Just arrived the remaining three vintage glass after shave bottles. The Aqua Velva and Skin Bracer are NOS. The small AV bottle came as an extra in the AV NOS box. I will refill all with the corresponding AS lotion with the exception of the clear (Sur-Lay) hair lotion bottle with metal cap which will be filled with Sharp Dressed Man. No more plastic bottles in my rotation line up. The glass vintage bottles will augment my two other bottles of FINE AS.

Nope, unless it's a small circle with a white rectangular shape in the middle.

I can still see the pic, loud 'n clear. Honestly. One large bottle, one very small bottle, three others of average size...

Some bugger has stolen the vintage bottles!

Shave den items bought in the last few weeks...

1. Old test tube rack as a razor stand...I cut out the larger tube holes at each end to fit brushes.
2. Vintage Ever Ready blade bin...seen very few of these around nowadays so I snapped this one up for a few quid.
3. Tri-corned glass bowl on copper base - not designed for this purpose but it makes an excellent brush pot!
