February 2018 Acquisition Thread

[Razor Burn]

@Razor Burn lets us know about the shave with the new Timeless Bronze OC

Will do @SpeedyPC

Wow,the whole sb razor is $120,but the oc baseplate only is $90

 

[UKSteve]

You lucky, lucky bastard. That's a superb compliment right there.

You won’t be surprised to hear they all smell amazingly well crafted.

Dispite having way to many guitars as it is.... everyone needs a LP.
My father in law is picking it up for my birthday

Only one shave item, not sure how I keep acquiring these, but some ANKER iPhone cables - which are very highly rated. In different colours so one each to different family members and I can tell who is losing or breaking the cords ...

Film, yes old fashioned film, to warm the cockles of @stillshunter's heart and form part of my daughter's birthday present

Dropped in to Op shop and lovely lady remembered. Score for $5

Impulse buy from eBay because I wanted an Australian razor and I haven't seen one around before. Anyone heard of the Fitsall? I won't be able to shave with it for a while because of February but I'm intrigued as well as being a fan of bakelight / plastic mid-century 3 piece razors.







Freebie blades are a bit naff

A nice 1912 but it's the box, in green and gold, I couldn't resist. I did touch up the gold to tidy it up a little

A buddy has one, never uses it but bought it for the same reason as you
They look like fun

Missed this on the doorstep yesterday! Four vape stands / razor stands from China. For $7.80 delivered. Came with more bubble wrap than I could buy for that price here. Another brilliant P&C tip.

One is cracked but it shouldn't effect the performance.

They are Gillette Techs. 60's or 70's probably. Have a look at this page http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/Tech/Tech.htm and then at the markings on the base plate, that should give you a more accurate answer
