The Haul: February 13th - February 19th, 2012

I'd like to try that but I don't know if I'd buy one. It is an intriguing idea however.

I'd still like to see Muhle make a slant head. I'm sure it'd smoke Merkur, and then top that off with an adjustable slant......talk about peeing a little.......

 

Yeeeaa....adjustable slant. That's it!!

 

It will probably be next we that I receive my goodies, but wanted to share. I'm trying to get in on the 'Menthol Monday's' group, and also bought some other items:

Proraso Pre/Post Cream 500g
Floid Blue 400ml
RazoRock Alum Block
Godrej Menthol Mist
Proraso Green Tub
Proraso A/S Balm
Thayers Original w/ Aloe
Osage Rub
M-Bomb
Iced Sub Zero PreShave

 

Looking through my items, I'm totally gearing up for 'Menthol Mondays'.

 

It has been quite a while since I have had a shaving haul, but I couldn't let this get away. Just such a cool concept.

 

Arrived today. I believe this is a 1941 Gillette Ranger Tech.

 

You are correct. Good score.

 

Wow! I can believe you didn't let this pass by! That's something neat! Good haul. Are you gonna try it?

 

Cleaned and on deck for this morning. I'll let you know how it performs later.

 

I got these in a trade for my Rolls from Rob72. They are beautiful. I'm thinking that I'm going to reknot them with identical knots and send one to my brother since he doesn't have a "good" badger yet. I'll keep pics of the restores up when it begins.

 

Came in the mail today... 3 weeks to arrive from Lithuania. Not bad. 8 tubes of Tet-a-Tet shaving cream and 8 tubes of Tet-a-Tet aftershave balm coming to $5.55 per tube, shipped. Absolutely love this stuff and had to get it! So if you've been put off from ordering from the guy on eBay because he's new, don't be. He's got several other Russian creams/brands for sale too.

 

Used the Ranger Tech this morning. Have to say it gave a DFS with an Astra blade.

 

Johnny was super nice and sent a MWF to Lakeland via Gary at Shoebox!!

Thanks Johnny!!

 

Have you tried the Viking creams? How would you describe the TAT balm as it relates to others that you use.

 

Yes, that's him. You'll have to send him a message and negotiate bulk pricing. That's what I did.

I've not tried Viking. Just really liked TaT since first using it. There's a menthol-like ingredient in TaT but it's not menthol as I understand it. Some sort of herb called Melissa? I'm not sure. It's got a nice, minty smell to it and ti does a great job of soothing any irritation.

 

Here you go Jody.

Like most sour plants, it is cooling and sedative. It combines this property with the typical nerve-calming powers of the mint family to make an strong, but safe and simple sedative. ​

Awesomeness. Thanks Gary!

 

Any time!

 

Anything for you and Jeff. Well, almost anything. Could not let the two of you start MWF week without some MWF. Hope you enjoy it.

 

Went shopping today and stocked up on some products for my after-shave routine ... way excited!
