A very nice wooden soap bowl from the Oxfam charity shop....
Pic!! Want to see what a squashed razor looks like. Sorry to hear that there are still peanuts like that out there!... a squashed GEM Junior.
The seller on eBay seemed to think dropping it in a jiffy bag was sufficient for global postage. What is it with the US? I've sold many hundreds of items, posted to countries which seemingly have a bad delivery reputation like Italy, Greece & Russia, just two have gone missing ... both to the US. I've bought hundreds of items from all over the world, Russian, China, Australia, Canada, Argentina ... yet the only issues I've had have been with US sellers.
Grrr ... just wanted a rant as a squashed razor is neither use nor ornament.
"Not my problem - you'll have to contact eBay yourself"
Huh!
Looks good! I'd be tempted to put some bubble wrap or something soft into each of the slots to line them, just to stop any chance of damage but that's me!View attachment 1063 View attachment 1064 This arrived today and is in excellent condition. I am very pleased.

Really lovely.. and I love the smell of musty old wood. Given it's age it makes me wonder how many times that box has been used by those gents no longer with us?Thank you. It appears to be Oak.
