Aquisitions nov 1- nov 30

I guess i will start this one with a darwin "super steel" straight. 12 quid from an antique shop, a fair few small chips in the blade so straight onto the 1k stone when i find time but apart from that in pretty great condition. I think they are bone scales, the mark is from the price sticker.

Wow! Never seen a Darwin straight.

I would imagine that is worth a pretty penny.

The razor looks to be in decent shape and will look good when the blade and scales are cleaned - however, as to value, I'm not aware that the make is classed as more valuable than most other Sheffield razors.

Also labelled 'Darwins' on the tang as opposed to 'Darwin' as it is on the blade

I knew it wasn't but it may have been - you got me all a twitter about that gorgeous brush!

Received a very dirty but functionally/mechanically very sound Gillette Sheraton.

It goes well with my other - still to be cleaned - Gillette Sheratons. I think I have SHAD.

One day they will get cleaned....

Hi where did you find 3 tubs for £14

Also received my second New Forest brush this past week - a 2041 (20mm Best badger). Super soft with a great backbone.
It's a brand new directly from Peter and it might just be the best $19 I've spent on shaving gear this year.

Here it is next to my 2213 silverip that is a near favorite brush these days:

...and next to an SOC brush for a sense of scale:

Found this in an antique shop today for a great price. It's a Be-Be by Rotbert. It looks like it will clean up nice.

A Henso / Henkels DE - Chrome head and a brass handle - its absolutely rock solid and has they typical 'safety bar but with open comb teeth' head that Henkels put on their DE razors - if it's anything like the other Henkels I have it'll be nicely aggressive.
I literally didn't know what colour this would turn out to be - it was a bit mucky when it arrived - the tarnish wouldn't stop coming out!
It will take a while to see what it shaves like though - I'm Movembering and going for a full set too. No shave until December.
