@Dr Terror where are the Futur Clones from? they look great!
@Darkbulb, I very nearly bought one of those a few weeks back, going cheap on ebay, but passed up as I've already had an L1 and thougth it a little mild. Cool razor though!

Apparently there were quite a few discovered NIB in a Dutch warehouse. This seller is based in the US (I think the other one a few weeks ago was in the UK) and is selling them both on eBay and Etsy now for about the same price.

Hah! Resisted - just!

Bought this "khaki" set for $9 as I don't think I've seen that handle before and the head looks interesting as well. The seller described it "as new" so we'll see what it is when it gets here.

It also comes with a Tech that has a bit of a fixer-upper-look to it.

Just had a Best Offer accepted on this....



D'Armes Et Cycles De Saint Etienne Prima - Not sure if I can make this work with any type of modern blade but for under a tenner posted it'll polish up nicely and can sit alongside my other French p̶a̶p̶e̶r̶w̶e̶i̶g̶h̶t̶s̶ razors.

We know this set already as an Ever Ready. I saw the *STAR* and had to have it!

100 x Perma-Sharp Super blades from Turkey

Boxed 1946 English made fat handled tech, looks in decent condition for £10

Picked up a cased Wilkinson Sticky for $40 shipped which isn't too bad really.
It's the dark end-knob version so it was made for the NA market.

Sheesh, I bought a non working Stahly for a bit less than yours, with what looks to be a great looking head. Handle's worthless to me anyway, working or not. Been wanting a nice back up one and nothing had come around for a long time so what the heck. Should be here next week.

Well hell, the Stahly arrived a few days ago and yesterday it got wet, being screwed onna UFO Kaiser 100mm stick of wonderfulness loaded with a fresh Feather blade. Tasty! Lathered up and went to shaving.

First WTG stroke on my neck told me something was off and a few more confirmed it. Switched sides and it was better for sure but not great. Man, I was hoping the blade was messed up and looked again more closely at the gap as well. Sigh, the gap was a bit 'slanty' along the safety bar, sure as heck. Plus, it was twisted a bit somehow, making it uneven just a tad. Sheesh.

Tried a fresh blade but that did no good so a return is in order now. Too bad because this head really shines.

Picked up an unopened pack of Schick blades for $9.
I think it's a repeating razor pack inside...I guess I'll find out when it gets here.

Bottle of Russian Forest:

Woody, green with tinctures of soil. Like pretty much any forest, then ...

A boxed Stahly. Went a little bit over my limit @ £36 including postage, but as I missed out on a couple of other things earlier, I don't feel so guilty about it.

So it's mostly for American Indians?
