Rev-O is a big fan of these kits and I can see why, it is always nice to find hidden treasure. Even selling off the razor you still have nice handy tubs for use or sale.

True, i already use 2 x tubes from a previous kit as brush holders, and a soap tin as a blade holder, they are spotless and have a nice art deco type pattern on them, goes very nicely with my stuff !!
 
Yeah, I buy lots of 'em - usually a Tech, occasionally a Rocket. It's usually a risk / gamble / punt.

Last one I bought had a small silk handkerchief; I later read they were used as prophylactics:

You have to keep it.

That is probably the best 'score' I've ever read about (and that's from someone who grabbed a Gold #66 and Sticky for £25!)
