Oh my, what a good day I had today:

I got my Mama Bear soaps in today, and she threw in a sample size (half full tub) of the Lilac Ice for free:

I also went to an antique store today. I got a Cohiba cigar case to store my razors in. I will add a nice lining for it later, but for now it is just a storage unit. It is pretty heave, good dovetails, and the hindges are in great shape. Best of all, I only paid $7 for it!:

Oh my, what is that inside the Cohiba case?

Oh really fool?

Lets take a closer look, shall we?

Razor #1:

It appears to be a 5/8 spike point with tiger striped celluloid scales, stamped as follows:
Fine Edge Cut. Corp.
New-York City U.S.A
M.I. Solingen-Germany

The blade shows evidence of hone wear, but shows no pitting from what I can tell, just some surface scratches, and a tiny line of gunk or rust along the edge of the cutting line. Blade edge is free of chips, dents, and nicks. Pardon my fingerprints.
