No woken up 4am this morning and couldn’t sleep as my PTSD went through the roof, I’ll be going to bed very soon and try and get some sleep again.

Nivea shaving stick smells like a disinfectant laundry cleanerworse against the Arko stick. Good luck old fart.
Cannot possibly worse than Arko?

Mail called today from my brother another six more refill pucks tallow version of TABAC!!!! I’m bloody glad to have a total 12 refill pucks, 6 refill sticks and 2 travel sticks all tallow soaps for many many years now. I give my middle finger salute to the vegan non-tallow version of Tabac in hell or kiss my ass

I'm a little concerned that you have numbered them mate. What happens if you use them out of order?

I'm not bloody stupid @Mark1966 if you're trying to tell me I cannot read numbers from one to twelve unless you're in an ACT lockdown COVID toilet rolls panic buy.
Makes you want to hide number 5 and see what happens.

@Mark1966 you took the words right out of my mouth.
I wonder if all those boxes of blades are numbered as well?

Another rescue. $30 I thought was fair. Looks alot like a 1948 Australian Tech set No. 77.
https://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/Tech/1948 AustraliaTech Set No77 England.JPG
A lowly little tech razor, as found, and in really good condition.
The bakelite case did it's job protecting the razor for sure. No plate loss at all, and only minor signs of use, if that. The original owner (the elderley sellers late father) definitely took care of the razor itself.
Looks back in the day all these items were gathered together into this kit and then sold as such, maybe a Gentleman's travel kit I suppose.
The 2 empty tubes have the brand "Robex" stamped under them.
Unfortunately the logo inside the outer case is too far gone to identify, right in the worst of the water damaged area.
The outer case is pretty sad, put away wet, or got wet and forgotten about for many years by the look of it.
Bakelite razor case has a bit missing, but the razor itself is gorgeous.
Didn't even clean it before it went into the metho bath for a scrub. No blade, soap or rust to remove. Just sterilize.
The 2 tubes are in good condition, (I cleaned their innards) and the hairbrush, just looks cheap.
Another little survivor saved from the trash bin.

Very nice. Nothing lowly about a tech. They made a lot of them, but they're still a great little razor for all that.Another rescue. $30 I thought was fair. Looks alot like a 1948 Australian Tech set No. 77.

That’s why I strongly prefer English made Tech against the US, French and Canadians Tech.
