This is what I got on the trip to Southern PA for my birthday. First up we have the smelly stuff. From left to right. A almost full bottle of Lilac aftershave by Sani-Sealed Laboratories. I can't find anything about the company, so I have no idea about dating it. It does still have a pleasant scent to it. Does anyone know more about the company? An empty Glass bottle of Pinaud Clubman. I have been looking for a vintage bottle to put some of my aftershave in. When I found this one I knew then I had to have it. It was fate. A quarter full sample bottle of Clubman that apparently barbers used to give out. The bottom of the bottle has the signature of "Ed Pinaud". The bottle also has groves in it for your fingers. The last of the smelly stuff I found a full bottle of Avon Island Lime aftershave in a Straight Eight decanter. This is the only bottle I have seen of the Island Lime full or otherwise.

Next we have the razors. First up is a Sha-Ve-Zee Safety Razor. This one was neat because you slide the blade in from the side like an injector but it uses regular modern GEM blades. The Razor was warped up in the box with the directions. Though the sheet of paper is so old that it falls apart if you look at it sideways. Next we have some NOS Schick's. A Type L with a sample of twin blades and some Schick Injector Blades with KRONA Edge. What ever the Krona Edge is. Sounds like a sells pitch to me. Last razor I got was a very clean looking ER '24 Shovel Head Travel Set. The spring on the back is broke in half but is still usable. Though after getting it home I don't know if the handle is right either. It doesn't quite fit in the slot in the case. Oh well, it still looks good.

That leaves us with soaps and brushes. I was able to get two cakes of Vintage Williams. One regular and one menthol. Any time you see vintage Williams you should pick it up. I found two brushes I plan on re-doing. A Rubberset and a Barbershop. I also picked up a Colgate Shaving Stick tub. Empty of course, but not for long. Lastly I picked up a scuttle. This one I placing the blame squarely on Fuzzy and his video with him using one. Damn enabler!

That just leaves the razors I got from across the street over at TSD. I still have to take pics of those so I will post later.
