Hello everyone,
Time to clear some stuff out once again. I have sold on the B/S/T once before, and it went pretty well--didn't get any complaints and got some nice comments from quite a few folks who bought from me.
Pricing
I think the pricing is pretty fair on the items below. I'm just trying recoup part what I spent for stuff I don't need/want anymore. If anyone thinks something is priced too high, I'll gladly accept any feedback. If something is priced too low, well, buy it. :001_smile
Shipping
I'm going to charge a small amount for shipping, as follows:
1 item: $3.60
2 items: $4.75
3 items: $5.85
4+ items: $6.90
I tried flat-rate last time, and I think this way makes more sense. I think it's fair--shipping charge will be approximately actual cost, but you can also get a break if you buy more than four items.
*Shipping will be USPS First Class, (or USPS Standard / UPS ground depending on weight) and will include a tracking number. CONUS only.
Discounts
I don't think I'll give any discounts for buying multiple items this time, since the shipping doesn't increase after 4 items. I may make an exception for very large orders or if someone buys all of the aftershaves/EDCs in one order.
Buying
If you would like to buy anything, please PM me. I hope there's a lot of posting in the thread, but all transactions should be done via PM.
Once everything has been agreed on, I will send you an invoice/money request via PayPal (I do it a little differently from most, but I like this way because buyers can look everything over and verify the items/cost/etc. before sending any money).

1-scaled.jpg
[pending] 1. ($9.25) Maggard MR1. Used a handful of times, pretty much as good as new. Very nice handle, pretty good plating on the head (underside of cap has a bit of discoloration), blade aligns well.
[] 2. ($9.50) Sabi Stainless HANDLE ONLY . Nice, heavy handle. No visible flaws, but can see a small ding or two when disassembled--NO plate loss, though. Brass stem in middle. Larger pictures here: http://ift.tt/1tpRNWf
[] 3. ($7.25) Sabi T5 HANDLE ONLY . Longer handle, good grip with surprisingly good plating job. Virtually as good as new.
[] 4. ($4.50) Lord L6. Long, aluminum handle, pretty good plating on the head (some marks on the bottom of baseplate where it meets the handle. Blade aligns well. Larger pics here: http://ift.tt/1n0MKTG
[pending] 5. ($5.75) Fat Handled Gillette Tech/Heavy. Handle turned out pretty good after polishing; a narrow strip of brassing around thickest part near top, other than that it's pretty nice. Top of cap has spot of brassing in one corner. Some more spots of brassing on other areas of cap and baseplate. Some detail here: http://ift.tt/1tpRQ46
[] 6. ($7.50) Gem Featherweight. Includes green case w/ clear lid that is not shown here. Bottom of handle has bit of plate loss. Safety-bar area has a little plate loss as well, but it appears to have nickel under the gold finish, so I don't believe it's down to bare brass. Larger pics: http://ift.tt/1n0MIv7
[] 7. ($3.15) Gem Push-Button. In OK shape overall. Top and inside of head look good. Bottom of head and top of handle are a little beat up, a bit of brassing, perhaps a little pitting as well. Rest of handle is pretty good. Larger pictures: http://ift.tt/1tpROct
[] 8. ($2.25) Gem Micromatic Open-comb TTO. Back of the head is rather beat up (which is hard to see in the pictures), also beat up on one side of the head (which is a little easier to see in the enlarged picture). Some brassing around safety-bar. Other than that, the plating's OK, with some scratching, etc. that you'd expect in an old razor. Very aggressive, but still a smooth shaver. Bigger pics: http://ift.tt/1n0MKTI
[] 9. ($8.25) Schick Injector Type E. I believe it's a Type E, because it only has one serial no. However, there appears to be a seam in the middle of the handle, so I'm not sure if it's bakelite. In any event, it cleaned up quite nicely. Has some light scratching like you'd probably expect, but the head and handle are both in very nice shape. Larger photos: http://ift.tt/1tpRQ4a
[] 10. ($9.50) Cadet TTO-15. Original box and case included. Good, heavy razor with a nice grip. Small scratch on top of head, which was there when I got it (can't really see it in the pictures, but it's there). Otherwise plating is great, and pretty much like new. Good, slightly aggressive shaver. Bigger photos: http://ift.tt/1n0MKTK
[] 11. ($12.75) 3x Schick Injector blades 7-pack. Three packages of the "chicks" (made in China Schicks) Injector blades. Very good blades.
[] 12. ($9.50) 100 ct. Brick of Astra blades (20x 5ct. pkgs.). Popular blades that I like, but I have too much.
[] 13. ($12.00) 100 ct. Card of Voskhod blades (20x 5ct. pkgs.). Again, great blades, but I need to clear some stuff out.
2-scaled.jpg
[pending] 14. ($9.25) Personna 100 ct. Another very good blade. Yet another great blade, but again I have too much stuff.
[] 15. ($2.00) Gem Blue Star 5 ct. New, unopened. These are the carbon steel ones, so you'll have to dry them after use to avoid rust. I tried some from another pack, and I thought they were good blades.
[] 16. ($22.00) 11x Barber Injector blades 7-pack. 77 blades total. NOS. These are actually pretty good blades. The dispensers aren't as good as the official Schick ones, but they work. The packages are little beat up, but not too bad and are all still sealed. I might have to disassemble/unfold the outer box for shipping purposes, but it's easy to fold back together.
[] 17. ($2.50) Barbon shaving cream. New and unopened. 85ml. w/ original box. Expired in December, but it should be fine. I've used it before-great scent.
[] 18. ($1.65) Figaro shaving cream. 85ml, about 80-85% left. w/ original box. Did expire in December, but it looks and smells fine. I'll buy it back if there's a problem with it. To me, smells sort of like La Toja with lavender.
[] 19. ($3.00) Kiss My Face Green Tea & Bamboo shaving cream. 11oz / 325ml. Still 80% or more left. Brushless, but makes excellent lather with a brush. The scent reminds me of Speick.
[] 20. ($3.25) Rose Of Bulgaria shaving cream. 75ml, about 90% left. w/ original box. Expired last month, but again it should be fine-looks and smells just as when new. I'll buy it back if there's a problem.
[] 21. ($1.50) Mystic for Men shaving cream w/ menthol. 100ml, around 2/3 left. w/ original box; box a little beat up, though. Expired last month, but like the others it seems fine. Good soapy scent, but actually not much of a menthol kick.
[] 22. ($2.75) Fume shaving cream soap. Large 300g jar. Only used a few times. Tried once with scooping a piece out, but works much better when loading brush directly from tub. Scent reminds of the Pinaud Lime Sec or Citrus Musk, actually. Expires in August of next year.
[] 23. ($2.50) Anthony Pre-Shave Oil. 60ml / 2oz. About 95% left, used only a few times. Approximately 2 years old, so right around the expiration date ('24M'), but used some recently and works well, smells good (w/ peppermint scent). If there's a problem, I'll buy it back.
[] 24. ($0.90) Van Der Hagen Select shaving soap (white). New, unused. No outer box, but still in its original plastic container. Nice, pleasant scent.
[] 25. ($0.90) Van Der Hagen Deluxe shaving soap (orange). New, unused. Outer box has been discarded, but in its original plastic container. Same scent as above.
3-scaled.jpg
[] 26. ($8.50) Rose Of Bulgaria aftershave. 3.4oz / 100ml. Only used a few times, about 95% left. w/ original box. Expires this month, but it should still last a while. Still smells as it did when new. I'll buy it back if not satisfied. Pretty good stuff, interesting scent, makes skin feel good.
[] 27. ($7.75) Herbs Of Bulgaria Lavender aftershave. 3.4oz / 100ml. Around 90% left. w/ original box. Expires this month, but still smells great, should last a while. I'll buy it back if there's anything wrong with it. Like the above, makes skin feel good, nice cooling effect.
[] 28. ($7.00) Clubman Pinaud Lime Sec eau de cologne 12.5oz / 370ml, ~95% left. I like the scent, just don't use it much.
[] 29. ($7.00) Clubman Pinaud Citrus Musk eau de cologne. 12.5oz / 370ml, ~95% left. Similar scent to above.
[] 30. ($2.75) Figaro aftershave. 100ml, 80-85% left. Expired in Sept, but I used some a couple weeks ago and seemed the same as it was when new. If there's a problem, I'll buy it back. Great scent.
[] 31. ($3.00) Murray & Lanman Florida Water 7.5oz / 221ml, about 90% left. Another one that has a good scent, but I haven't been using it much.
[] 32. ($9.00) Proraso Green Tea & Oat liquid cream aftershave (white). 3.4oz / 100ml, ~90% left. w/ original box. Good, soothing stuff. Pleasant scent, just haven't been using it much.
4-scaled.jpg
[pending] 33. ($6.25) Proraso Green Tea & Oat soap in tub (white). 5.2 / 150 ml. Box has been discarded. Have used about 6 times, so still nearly full. Very good scent, like the aftershave. I like it, but have been using other stuff lately.
[] 34. ($9.00) Proraso Pre-shave cream (Green) 3.6oz / 103g. Brand new, haven't used at all.
[] 35. ($4.75) 100 ct. Derby single edge blades. I have used a few, but I still counted 100 in the package. Pre-split blades for shavettes/barber razors. Good blade, worked pretty well for me in the shavette.
Time to clear some stuff out once again. I have sold on the B/S/T once before, and it went pretty well--didn't get any complaints and got some nice comments from quite a few folks who bought from me.
