The Haul: March 2016

Worst possible 'teaser' photo of what arrived on my California-sun-kissed desk this afternoon as the logo is clearly visible

I didn't know you lived in good ol Cali...

 

That's good news. Maybe one day they will finish mine.

These were 'early issues' that Murat sent out to, I think about 10 people or so in the UK or US (@ckeskin would know more).
I can't remember when the shipment for the US was slated for but I think it's April or May?

So I'm sure your razor is well on-track for delivery (your comment "maybe one day" made me think you might have other information than the above of when then US delivery window was).

 

Are you coming down for the shaving event in Pasadena?

 

It does sound like a lot of fun but not sure I can justify it can justify a trip down there.
Whoever is going better snap a bunch of photos for the rest of us to enjoy

 

Well I am planning on attending. It's free admission, I couldn't justify paying the $50 upgrade admission for the swag. I'll be sure to take photos. It'll be my first Shaving event. I don't know what to expect. But I'm looking forward to it.

 

Heard back from eBay about the case I opened and I got a full refund of 21 Euro (even though I only claimed 16.30 Euro)
Apparently the seller also refused replying back to them as well.

End of the day - sure, it was frustrating/annoying - I did end up with a fully free razor.
(I honestly would had preferred to pay for it and the actual shipping cost...but all is well that ends well)

 

Congrats!

 

Thanks. A very strange seller. 5-6 emails no replies and doesn't reply back to eBay. All very odd.
Oh well, done and over with.

 

Sometimes it works out, sometimes it just works.

 

Not a bad t-shirt.

 

I hereby give you @Darkbulb rights to monetize that saying on any t-shirts without royalties to me. Everyone else owes me 50% profit.

 

There's the retirement solution I've been looking for!

 

You never know, stranger sayings have taken off for big $$

 

I received these Wilkinson Sword SE blades today. They look good! I'm going to post a report on the SE thread after shaving with one.

 

No picture but I went to the store today and cleared out what they had for Williams. 10 pucks for about $14...I am sure 10 pucks of Williams is a lifetime supply. Also bought some Brut Aftershave and Aqua Velva Musk. Oh and a 6 pack of Budweiser. The look on the cashiers face was quite funny... 10 pucks of shaving soap 2 aftershaves and beer. She looked quite bewildered...

 

I don't even know where to buy Williams shaving pucks here in California. What kind of store was it?

 

Market Basket. It's a grocery chain out here in Massachusetts. They also sell Williams at Hannafords and CVS....well at least out here they do.
