I bought my first ever vintage razor on eBay today! A nice looking Ever Ready 1912 in its original case and even with the original instruction leaflet. I'm looking forward to my first shave with this once it arrives.

Martin de Candre original soap I got from the Bay for a bargain price of £30. Been used twice allegedly but still the full jar. Perfume Parlour Bleu de Chanel spray to go with my pinnacle Pepe le Bleu set and a 13ml neroli portofino oil which should go nicely with my Kaizen soap.

Excellent...if it contains original blades, don't use them! I think modern Gems will be fine but keeping the original blades in the pack should help retain collector value...you'll thank me in 50 years time! Oh...shit...I won't be around then I know, live for the moment...use them! I bet you're glad you get such sound advice here aren't you? No need to thank me.

Also @danielb193 it looks like a great razor and I'm sure you'll enjoy it

From what I've heard those vintage blades will be a little grabby compared to modern GEM SS blades, just keep them.

The '12 is a great razor!

Thanks all. Don't worry, I won't try to use the vintage blade!

Why not? What's wrong with vintage? You young upstart modernist person you...why, you deserve a modern smack (in a totally modern and non-abusive and entirely theoretical way, of course) are you saying we older and vintage people are simply not worth it? My goodness...what is this world coming to?"

Czech and Speake No.88 shaving soap 90g made by Valobra. They are changing their producer so got in early

I've just finished a ten year-old tube of Proraso green. It only comes out a few times every year when it is hot and humid - this year it has been used continuously through out August - wonderful stuff for the hot weather. At only £10.50 delivered from La Barbiera, terrific value also. Judging by the rate at which climate change is accelerating this new barber size bladder will probably only last me a year or so .
