A #51/53 Aristocrat Junior and a New Forest Tubby. The Aristocrat Junior's handle is a bit loose, so I'll need to re-crimp it. For once, I'm actually not watching anything on eBay or expecting anything from eBay in the mail. I'm practicing restraint, at least until all my bills and people I owe are paid. Edit: used both for this morning's shave. I like both. The razor especially was a nice shaver, just a tad bit more aggressive than a Super Speed, and much more 'solid' feeling.
Got my order from Van Yulay today. They threw in a sample of Rugged lotion which was nice of them. Really looking forward to trying them out, all of the scents smell nice, so it will be a matter of figuring out which one to use for todays shave.
Thanks Robby. I was surprised to find them in the mail box this morning, I was expecting it to be at least a few more days. The scents are awesome, really like the Gentle Sauvage and Grand Lodge.
I ordered one bottle of Florida Water...they sent two. I let them know of the mistake, and they told me to keep it and wished me a happy weekend. So, I got two for 5.55 total. My Zoe's Beauty Boutique Erinn go Brach soap came in along with a sample of Tobacco Caramel. Both smell amazing. The Tobacco Caramel is a fresher scent than I was expecting...it has been added to my list for a full size tub.
I have yet to use it, but the reviews have been very good. The texture of it reminds me of the Van Yulay soaps. Only 1 left in stock https://www.etsy.com/listing/269208991/eirinn-go-brach-shaving-soapirish?ref=shop_home_active_14
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on it, I plan on trying the Van Yulay soaps for the first time, the scents are great.
You will like them...great slickness and post shave feel. I should be getting my first Van Yulay AS to try tomorrow or Monday.
Most reviews of the soap have been positive, getting ready to shave here in a few, so I will give it a try. The aftershave sounds like good stuff also, and I like that they come in different sizes. Hope the aftershave works out well.
Did a little bit of research and found this to be a popular alternative to those holders you find on ebay. They use rubber shrink wrap on the metal clips in order to prevent damage to the razors and brushes
