Some nice SE's there UB.Not as nice as @Darkbulb's Wilkies but this little bundle includes a red and a blue tip as well as a few other interesting razors. Not bad for £31
A very similar story here. Poorly described Fat Boy, £24 including delivery. Just got to wait for it to wing its way over from Montevideo, Uruguay.
Unfortunately I'm having problems uploading files at the moment, but will oblige when the problem is fixed
Speaking of that frag, a while back I ran across a sealed and boxed Gentleman large vintage bath soap onna rope. That thing has plenty of pop to it, even through the wrapper.
Some bath soaps in my arsenal have included things like vintage Caron (Yatagan), Hermes (cologne), and Givenchy (Xeryus).
Just for fun you might do a search for your favorite flavored non shaving soap. They usually aren't crazy money and nice to have as an option. Yeah, dat's an option.

I'm very far from a Gillette expert but I think I just bought a Gillette Sheraton (OC TTO) in its original case.
I think it'll clean up well.

I'm not really into SEs but I did notice the Schick. Featheweight and G Bar. But condition is everything. I might have to have a bit of a clearout soon of the Ugly Sisters,

I was out bid on 3 lots last night!,have to be honest,glad I was,as I still need a few bits for the re plating,and have run out of cash!.I have 6-7 here in bits now ready for when I finally AM ready!,so,its a good job I didnt win them auctions,because then I would be sat on 25 razors...Neither of us broke the bank though did we? If there was something you were particularly interested in PM me and we might be able to do something - perhaps on a swap for services
TBH I just saw £ sign's in my eye's at the Red tip,and Blue tip.......

This wouldn't happen to be one of the lots would it....
I didn't look properly and mistook the Techmatics for Injectors
Aside from that I'm pretty happy! The RedTip, BlueTip and Micromatic were what I wanted. Not sure if the Tech is a fat handle but I'm hoping so and it looks like a couple of 40's style SuperSpeeds and depending on condition I might have a try at fitting a new knot in the brushes though they look OK in the pics.

A lovely 1914, magnificent shaver especially with a 1/2 shim. Believe the hype.

Well the Fatboy arrived today gave it a good soak and clean and grabbed a bargain no plating loss and the dial clicks precisely, even the numbers were still black but I have repainted. Not bad for £22 feeling smug
