That is a thing of beauty! Congrats.
Just arrived, (like NOS) 1960 Gillette Executive F3 razor, with razor blade pack (appears unused) and a case that opens and closes as it should with no visible scratches, a couple of "smudge" marks and the 3 tabs in perfect condition.
Wowzers that looks a real stunner!!! Congrats and great work @TroyToolsSome of you may recall a beautiful "Southern Skies" brush I had made by @Irish of Forgotten Art. That got smashed by a flicked towel, so I asked @TroyTools to make me another, not as a copy, but inspired by the original. I have a bit of a record now of presenting him with challenges, and he's blown them away every time, and this is no exception. This handle is a bit beyond a reflection of an earthly sky, it's more cosmic. To complement it, I have foregone my usual aversion to badgers and opted for a huge 30mm silvertip. Meet "Nebulish" (plus extras turned from the same blank)...
A TOB is a joy forever.As you can see, I've already bloomed the knot a little, but it's going to be a while before it stops hogging lather. All part of the process. Beautiful work, Troy

I’d be happy to store my MWF Tallow in it for you, of course at my home if any help?A beautifully preserved Dubarry Silkasoap shaving soap dish. Now - to find an appropriate soap to fill it?
Suggestions welcome.
A couple of old familiars there for me. The boot leather and the vintage car.Ding dong - Avon calling.
From left to right, Blend 7, Tai Winds, Leather, Windjammer, Wild Country, Spicy, and Spicy. All full.
They all smell good - Spicy is very close to vintage Shulton Old Spice. Tai Winds has a Faberge Brut vibe; Wild Country is unashamedly pure '70s macho (as it should be!), Windjammer a bit of a mixed bag, Leather very nice authentic car seat leather, and Blend 7 a nicely blended cologne-style.
Very happy with these.
I just love those old Avon decanters. Unfortunately, I only own one, a Jaguar E-Type 2+2.Ding dong - Avon calling.
