The Haul: March 2016

The first formulation of this was Crystal meth blue. But they took the coloring out to make it more natural. I enjoyed the reference too

 

That sounds amazing. I must ask though...with this pomade do you "Spread lightly?" (see what I did )?

 

Lol

But really, for application you just keep putting in some sized amounts until it feels right. I usually use 2 to 3.

 

If I had any hair I would more then likely use pomade but I am a cue ball. Where do you even find that pomade?

 

It's nice, not over the top.

 

The bottle is very cool! The only thing it lacks is a flow re-stricter

 

Very nice. Please post pics after its framed.

 

I got this Beautiful Japanese Hamilton 6/8th in the Post Today..These are the Sellers pics as I cant get my Ruddy phone to down load today..Playing Funny Buggers..These Pics actually don't to it any Justice..I spoke to Jamie about it & he reckoned the Heel wasn't standard like that..He is correct..Its been ground off for whatever reason but I am delighted with it as it looks good like that & been done properly..

I had my Maiden Shave with it today...Three passes and a near all over BBS..The seller has done a great job because its very smooth indeed..The smoothest SR I have at the moment..Its very quiet this One..Its like a Ninja with very little Feedback..Very Nimble & Agile this Razor..Very Manoeuvrable Indeed..I am over the Moon with it..I like it a lot..In Fact I am really taken by it..

Billy..

 

How long does the scent linger for after it is applied?

 

Someone get a napkin.... I'm drooling!!! Beautiful Billy!

 

I'm disappointed with the staying power, I'd say 1 maybe 2 hours and it's done.

 

I would just like to say thank you. Your recent acquisitions on the SR front make it easier for me to justify the ones I have made. Keep up the great work!

 

I think this whole forum survives on validating your own purchases with those made by others.

 

Thanks to @Keithmax I'm now a proud owner of an injector. I'm very excited about this razor but I won't be using it until May. I'm spending next month working on my technique.

 

That's a nice one too! Good luck not being tempted to use it for a whole month.

 

I'm thinking about leaving it at work so I'm not tempted come shave time. I'm also holding off buying blades for it. Maybe then I can not be tempted...maybe

 

That's actually a great idea. Without blades you just can't shave. Of course then when the time comes you won't have any blades handy and you'll be forced to wait for them in the mail... just saying.

 

Got a couple of blade packs in the mail - one DE and one cart.

1) Schick 2002 - Twin DE blades
These are the 'wedged' twin blades - much like the Schick Twin injector blades.
Will be great fun to try out this week

2) Schick Slim Twin cartidges
Got a pack of cartridges to try out with my Schick Slim Twin razor that I recently got - and, well @Sabre did say these will work better in it than Atra blades




And I mean, come on, the twin DE blades have not one...but two "Teflon coated super chromium edges". How awesome isn't that?!
