some new stuff
On Monday I went and hung out with VintageSmurf, who only lives about a 20 minute drive away, as it turns out. I came home with a new SR, DE and stone. The SR (a Burrell Top Flight) needs a bit of a honing, the DE (Gillette adjustable, haven't looked into the exact model yet) just needs some soap & water, and the stone needs to be flattened.
Thanks VintageSmurf!

Nice haul! Is that a thuringian stone?

I'm not sure, but I have my suspicions! I will clean off the dried slurry and post pics when I have time, maybe on Monday. I'd sure like to find out!
As for the DE, it turns out it's a 1958 Gillette Executive Adjustable, aka Executive Fatboy.

Love the patina, on the Top Flight. Good shavers.

Nice haul. I am not a DE user but some of them make for beautiful display pieces.
