The Haul: May 2015

I found an old Mercantile in a small town that had a lot of NOS stuff. Everything is NOS except the Florida Water. Fun stuff!

 

very good and cool haul

 

It's a good day tater...

 

Received my New Forest tubby 2 Alpolina brush. The original 2 band knot is apparently a shedder but it came with a real nice 28 mm silvertip knot. I cant get the 2 band to shed a hair, so maybe I'll end up with a spare knot for another project.

 

I like the handle

 

a bar of soap

 

Got this in the mail thanks to a fellow member over on TSR having a bit of a den clear-out

- Fitjar Isrose shaving cream,
- Fitjar porcelain shaving bowl.

I was also treated to an unexpected gift - a sample off the NSS Arabian Nights and man, let me tell you, that soap smells absolutely amazing! Wow!

Some piccies:

 

This also arrived this week: a brand new Ikon B1 razor.
First impressions are very positive.

​

 

My razors arrived today unexpectedly. USPS said scheduled for tomorrow after 10 days on the road, but they showed up today. Woo-hoo!

 

Very nice.
I think you'll like that Black Tip - it's one of my favorite razors when I need/want something rather mild.

Do you know what model it is?

 

Flare tip SS? A good day indeed!

 

Sweet! Never knew that existed.

 

Very cool. Neither did I!

 

my wife found it locally.
it left me feeling clean and smelling of Florida water.
thumbs up in my book.

 

Cheapest I found online was at Guesso for $1.81 for a bar
They also have the supremely large bottle of Florida Water that's hard to find in stores.
16oz for $5:


I believe they have a flat shipping fee of $4.95

 

I finally get to try shaving with a Red Tip. I found one in good working condition for a nice price. Can't wait to take it for a spin

 

Never tried one myself.
Do you have the others 'tips' so you can compare it to them?

 

I now have them all

 

Silver, Blue, Red and Black?
