My father's secretly awesome SR collection

[johndoughy]

I grew up in a household that did no classic shaving. My father used to, I was told, and I'd seen his brushes in our bathroom, but that's about it.

I went back there recently and checked out what he has, and wanted to share, as well as ask for information about one in particular. I thought he had 2 straights, and 2 brushes, purchased in the 70s. Turns out, this stuff was purchased between 1960 and 1975, but that was about all I had right. He has the following:
-9 bricks of "Bloc Hyalin" alum from some French outlet in the West Indies
-A vintage Old Spice ceramic soap cup
-A Yardley soap cup that looks like garbage
-A pair of Illinois strops, one says "Chicago Strop" and the other says something about a shell, both have a canvas strop attached.
-2 Finest Badger brushes with stands
-an assortment of Pinaud Clubman aftershave and treatment stuff
And the razors:
-A Puma High Class with moderate rust pitting, and the original travel case--his only used razor
-A Doubl Duck Dwarf in MINT condition..and I do mean MINT, it still has the wrapping paper
-2 Robert Klaas razors with the Kissing Cranes logo
-2 C.V. Heljestrand razors, one is really short, the other has a broken scale. One says "MK 31" and the other says "MK 6" on the back(haven't found any info on the MK 6).


And the following: A Dovo Fritz Bracht 25. Can't find any info on this specifically. Can anyone tell me about it? Is it a good shaver? Collectable? etc? This isn't actually the case for it, that's for the Robert Klaas, it actually has the original blue case.



Just thought I'd share. He has a nice collection gathering dust, I tried to get a brush and his Doubl Duck, but to no avail!
