Acquisitions Mon. 30th Aug. to Sun. 5th Sept. incl.

I like to look through these threads to see all the great things people have picked up here and there, even though very few things make me go "oo, I want one" now.

Still, I like seeing those collectible razors being picked up for pennies at car-boot sales, antique fairs and junk shops as well as lucky 'scores' on mis-listed items on ebay.

Happy hunting.

A boxed Gillette New - no cracking visible to the handle... which is nice.

In case any octogenarians are watching and desperate for a birth year razor, the serial number dates it to 1921.

Oooooh - having degunked it and polished it, it's a pretty beast now.... It would appear to be silver plated judging by the smell of the tarnish. Now shining like bogies on the top lip of a native African.

Unfortunately both I and the Mrs like the 88

I liked the 88 smell in Cologne but not the soap, it is a great soap in, perfect lather almost like Penn's EF old formula., but try as I may I cannot get on with the soap. After my holiday (away til next Tuesday) it is going see if I can swap it for an O*C thay someone dislikes or it goes to PIF (Gannet squadron stand by).

Such as shame because the cologne is one of those complex dusky rose scents that I would normally love, ah well the wallet breathed a sigh of relief as I wanted the glass gar when I first seem it and that is £90 with a soap :shock:
 
Got a missed delivery from Fedex on the doorstep friday evening. Won't receive it until Monday or maybe Tuesday.Got them to redeliver it to my new workplace , will I be able to resist opening it ?
 
Who are you kidding???....no of course not. Remember to take a pocket knife. Last time I got package on the way to work (postie stopped me in the car). It was a sellotape ball that would have had Sunbury in orgasams (think it was vintage thin sellotape), I used my teth to bite it,I used the shit plastic cutlery at work to cut it but and it still took 20 minutes to get into to it.

Well - I felt like I was channelling sunburyboy this afternoon... Into an antiques fair, good look round found a boxed C1 Silver-tip Flair-tip Superspeed for £4. Then when I went to pay for it, the chap on the counter asked where it was on the stand and he misinterpreted my ambiguous reply, thought it was in the £2 section, so I got it for £2 :mrgreen:
