Gentleman, I haven't posted in quite some time but I'm still collecting shave paraphernalia every chance I get.
Just this weekend I was in Snohomish Washington and found a few neat things worth sharing.
First was this box of old Marlin double edge blades, close to 20 boxes of 5 blades all sealed up. Only one or two look like they have some moisture damage. I think I'll cautiously give them a try in a mild safety razor.


I found a Fatboy in really good condition, as well as this other unique DE called a BiaStroke from some Chicago company. It looks like they tried out a slant type design, we'll set if it works as intended.




And my newest most prized razor possession! A yellow green Escher with nice labels and a mostly excellent honing surface (minus that corner). It measures 7 3/16th" x 1 1/2". The first time I've seen one of these in the wild, I couldn't help but bring it home!




All four of these items plus a mini jewelers bench vise (LH&F no 1) and a pocket knife (Schrade improved muskrat) made for a very successful Presidents day!
