The Haul: February 2016

Received my first knot Ive ordered directly from China. It was described as a 100% finest knot but doesnt look like a 2 band finest to me or like the photo by the seller. It does seem like a decent knot with soft tips and quite dense. Not bad for the $16 paid.

 

$7.95 with an eBay coupon

 

Congrats John. I can't wait to read your review. Enjoy your adventure.

 

Hmm.. Which ones are blue, yellow package?

 

You are an honest man, i might have just kept them. But then again, I might have done the same as you

 

Oh, nice =) the brush looks good. What scent is the amici?

 

Very cool! I didn't think nickel looked his good. Everyone does like rhodium or what ever other expensive alternative they have. You don't see nickel used often

 

He was a really great seller. Kept me posted as to what was going on the entire time and then gave a refund when the blades went MIA.

 

Oulallaa

 

It's a Red Grapefruit, Lemon and Orange scent. Really nice! The brush is sweet!

 

Okey, ofc you would do this.

I bought an alum block ones, it was defective. The seller said he sent another one. I think he lied.

 

Sounds very nice, I've said my next soaps are going to be fresher scents. But yeah.. Maybe not from IB

These http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/the-haul-february-2016.49493/page-7#post-987730 Half way down. They're used for older Valet razors. They're SE taller blades.

 

AHA! I though it was a blade for the mongoose =)

 

I just received my aristricrat. But I can't find a date code on it.
