Thanked: 1184All nice stuff and hopefully the wife will get it. If not a wise member once said he drags his wife to the closet and points at her shoes :<0)
You will find ways to get what you want The rust doesn't look so bad to me. May take some serious bevel setting to get out but it will still work in the end. I would suggest you sharpen your eye before making too many purchases before guilt sets in. It won't stop you from buying but it will hurt a little.
That last cup with the car on it .... I just got 1 similar in style. Mine came with a slightly used brush that matches. A boar I was not thrilled about using. The thing is, it is the only brush that fits into the hole. Yours might be bigger, just saying so you can think about that if you going to be searching out a brush to match.Last edited by 10Pups; 07-10-2016 at 03:11 PM.

Would you guys keep the scales?
Do you think they are original?
I think I am going to try my hand at restoring the brush and putting a knot in it.
The razor however, is a little above my skill set...."When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound,

Thanked: 1184They make small pucks that might fit. I gave up on that when I tried to get 1 of my smaller brushes in that hole. Not going to brake off a bunch of fur forcing the issue. Just the little I used the brush that came with it I am already causing damage.
Cars are cool, I got Ducks. Will use it to test samples maybe.

Cleaning the brown cup I found a large puck of soap with the words "MON TRIOMPHE"
Not the best smelling stuff...
I think I will hand lather the old spice one and see how it does.
it has been covered by the red thing think it's still good?"When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound,

Thanked: 1184May be a little dry but that won't do anything but make it a little harder to lather.

Did well enough to give them a try for real the next few days.
I have water treatment and Williams even does well for me.
The Mon T stuff stinks like toilet soap bought by the case so I will be getting a big puck of something else for the big brown cup.
Think I will use the Old Spice until gone as long as it passes shave test, it easily peaked like meringue in my hand. I expected a better scent.
Maybe a long time wet shaver can chime in about scents back in olden times....Last edited by gflight; 07-10-2016 at 07:27 PM.

So in 1978 for a $6 after shave purchase I could have gotten the mug, brush, and soap for $9.75. I saved a $1.75 and didn't even buy the after shave. I am killing it....lol"When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound,
