I remember seeing a post about that. I think I can see now why there is little to no hone ware.

I remember seeing a post about that. I think I can see now why there is little to no hone ware.
I got a big package in the mail today. I won't say who it's from but someone here on SRP had a bunch of stuff and wanted to send it to me. A thank you for doing my part here at SRP including the giveaway. I just took one pick but in short...
17 or 18 Schick and Gillette razors. A couple of very odd Gillette you don't hear much about.
7 different styles of vintage injector blades
7 straights
a silver-plated shave mug
a couple of old soaps
Few brush holders
about 50+ vintage brushes
Anyway, I just wanted him to know how much I appreciate the gesture. I will have to go through all this so it's another fun thing I get to do besides the car for a while. Wish I could restore razors but that ain't happening just yet.
I will have to make a few more shelves as my shave brush collection is now well over 100. Maybe I will fix up a few to sell. The wife just doesn't understand.

That lot will keep you out of trouble for a while...
Here I am stoked to get a couple nos packs of injector blades.
Not jealous much at all...
I'd say your coffee mug, is full.
I think you're right Mike but what a great way to spend some time when there's nothing good on the TV.Quote:

Haven't tried the modern injector style yet, but I think I would probably prefer the long handle Injectors over the short ones.
Scored this and a Super Speed? for $15. Cleaned with Dawn and a toothbrush, then with 3M Polish. Looked like it wasn't rinsed out the last time it was used, so it was gross. Soaked it in Barbicide when I was done. Still rough, but looks better.

Thanks all. It will take me a bit to clean up but I will enjoy it. My coffee cup is now full of straights that need restored or just honed and a small box for the rest. Although now I have another issue, my razor cabinet is full so Im going to have to find another holder/cabinet or case and store SE and DE separate from straights.:D
Nice find Joshua. With all my stuff plus all the stuff I just got I still dont have a Fatboy. Its on my list.
