Not something I would collect but they certainly are historically interesting.

Did you pick up the ones (with the same subject) that were in your photo of the Antique Store stuff?

And @Luecke3262

No and to be honest I didn't notice them at the time while I was there. I didn't realize they had them until I posted the pictures on here. I tried to make out the price in the picture but it looks like they say 75 dollars or something like that and the ones I bought were about a tenth of that and look in better shape. I'm gonna go back and see sometime.
 
Not shaving related, but grooming-related, sort of. A German silver glasses case from the William Schimper company, which operated in New York from 1867 to around 1918. I like stuff with history.

The Rockwell T2 arrived this afternoon. Needless to say, I was a tad dismayed to see this area of discoloration on one of the safety bars. Wiping it with a microfiber cloth didn't remove it, nor did giving it a light scrubbing using a toothbrush and dish soap. Running my fingernail lightly across it did nothing either. Just as I was about to reach out to the seller I decided to try a little dab of toothpaste on a soft cloth. Two light passes along the bar and the discoloration was completely gone. Whew!

I discovered several others online had similar issues with the finish on their T2s. One stated Rockwell suggested wiping the area with a very mild vinegar solution. I think toothpaste is the better option. Just thought I'd share in case someone picks one up and has a similar issue.

Some H.zone aftershaves. I've read favorable reviews of their scents. And I found a site that has them on sale for $6.50 each, so I ordered 5 to get free shipping. I'm hoping it's not 'too good to be true.'

And because I have been missing the network evening news and football games since cutting the cable cord, I decided to try a FLATenna 35 indoor TV antenna. It's gotten good reviews and was only $10 from the manufacturer, so I think it's worth a try.
