Attic finds

[Nishy]

Decided at the start of the year when finishing 3 soaps I would jump into the attic and pull down some replacements. If my maths is correct should have enough soap for around 30+ years. Pulled down these beauties, the plain tub was a group buy from TSR many years ago of Trumpers seconds, it is very dehydrated but will be fine.

The ones in the plastic bags kind of look like forensic evidence.

I wish that I had an attic that I could store shaving cream or soap in.

Ingrams is being used very sparingly

They are a bit suspicious, shavedash from memory and the mystic waters was kindly gifted. I wonder what airport customs would think, get enough hassle over a 3 piece razor

When my parents tried taking a small jar of chutney, they said the customs fellow look positively horified and made them throw it out.
The soap looks no less suspicious.

Back into the attic some beauties came down today:
One of my first purchases Prof Blighty Grapewood aftershave, only a couple ml left but still smells good many years on

Original blackbird with some nostalgic boxes, I believe I missed out on the wooden/cork box unfortunately:

Grandstaff, pure wizardy:

Seven day set of Kropps several unused:

Also found another favourite, some Trumpers coral skin food, a jar of unopened Tabac and the lovely leather box for my OneBlade razor.
Only one more box left to open in the attic now. Still looking at 25+ years of product to finish!

Attics in my neck of the woods get very hot, shaving stuff would never survive.

I have that exact same vintage WSP soap. It smells like Drakkar Noir. Good stuff.

Not too many first Generation Blackbirds out there. He rounded the corners and edges on the next runs.

If I remember correctly, Nishy, you opted out of the box as it would add shipping cost and you didn't care about packaging aways...
:P

I think that is correct or I bought it when the wooden boxes were unavailable. Either way the razor is a masterpiece.
