November 2024

What's new for you this month? ?

Today, all orders from the past weeks came at once. It felt like Christmas-Eve.

First from China: The Colorlamb foldable razor, works with half DE-blades:


Followed by a Feather Artist Club DX.


Then a used Rockwell T2 Stainless Steel:


Blackland Osprey, machined Hi-Vis with Stand from the Black Friday sale:



And last but not least, I finally did it and spend all the money for the second Swiss Razor, the Tedalus:


There are two more Razors on my bucket list at the moment. One will be ordered as soon as available on a certain online shop: The Parker Variant Open Comb graphite.

The other is going to take some time, until someone decides to sell one:
The Rocnel Sailor Master Collection 2022 or 2021 Version (preferably with but not limited to the 2022 L Sailor Version).
Also an issue, I'm new to ths Forum and have to wait until 11/24 for being able to buy something from BST. And I don't know, if you guys sell to Europe or Conus only.

My uncle stopped by and said my cousins boyfriend had a old razor he wanted to give me. To my surprise it was a 1965 Lady Gillette. Ive got 3 now. I'm going to keep the cased one and give away the other 2. My uncle said he going to give me his executive fatboy/Slim Aristocrat when he finds it he said its a gold adjustable Gillette.

Is there a significant difference between the Beta 4.2 and 4.3 Stella Alpina? Does it smell the same? I wonder, if it lathers up the same. Could you give a report when you have used it? Thank you!

I am guessing that the "colorlamb"   (odd name) is for travel?   Any hope it would make it through TSA since it does not look like a razor?

Yeah... you should see the other product of this manufacturer. Then it makes sense  

Exactly. It's  a foldable outdoor and travel razor. Well, as long as you don't have a blade loaded, it should be TSA safe, I guess.

If my memory serves me right that 1934  Aristocrat was not only the very first Aristocrat that Gillette made, the quality was never duplicated in any other US models. Only the British made models maintained that. 1934’s are not an easy find and that’s a beauty right there. Relatively mild but nicely effective and a good daily shaver.  I have some regrets for dismantling my collection of vintage razors.  Thanks for bringing back some good memories my friend.

Funny, at my age I've actually considered dismantling my collection but don't feel like going through the efforts to try and sell so many. The best would be picked over first and then left with others. I would prefer someone just to buy the whole kit and caboodle as they say. Have a good one!
