    Default Wostenholm Peerless 4/8" & 1970's NOS Crabtree & Evelyn Mysore Sandalwood w/bowl

    To benefit Movember, here's a Wosty Peerless 4/8" and a NOS 1970's Crabtree & Evelyn Mysore Sandalwood soap puck with bowl.

    I think this razor was close to unused when I got it; I cleaned it, honed it and shaved with it once, and it took a great edge.

    If you like the little ones, or you want to complete your Wosty collection, this is for you!

    And now the soap:

    This is an unused puck and wooden bowl of the original 1970's Crabtree & Evelyn Mysore Sandalwood shaving soap. It's old enough that there's no bar code on the box.

    I've heard tell that this is the stuff, that you can't get a sandalwood soap like this anymore. It's tallow-based and (says the Internet) much superior to the modern "Indian Sandalwood" that Crabtree & Evelyn sell today.

    Bidding for the set starts at $60. Shipping in the continental U.S. is $10; contact me for elsewhere.
