@Bama Samurai yep this is going into my Feather Artist Club SS and Irving Barber Company (IBC) shavette and I'm thinking about getting a DX will see.
My son doesn't know it but he's waiting for his birthday present from me: B-M Seville and a 30-pack of Astra SP DE blades. He's in his first year shaving DE style and I'll bet he'll love the loot. Me, I just received my first puck of MWF and while I'm still trying to dial in the lather after 2 shaves I gotta say the post shave feel is top notch.
A new Acquisition Disorder? How would you shorten "The feeling of slight depression at not having a tracking number to check or any incoming shipments" - AD?
Try a Kai Captain first. Virtually identical head, and less than half the price. If you are interested, PM me and I will hook you up with a seller from Japan.
Well, I just added another 13 soaps/creams and 2 balms to the stuff I ordered on March 3 and mentioned here on March 6: Tubs of TOBS Avocado, Sandalwood and Lavender cream - which arrived yesterday from Fendrihan; From Connaught Shaving - Valobra Fern and Unscented hard soaps and Almond croap, and Vitos Extra(green logo) and Super (red label) croaps and Eucalyptus cream, and the fairly new Pannacrema Nuavia Pure2O DFS and Vetiver soap tubs; From Supply Provision Co. - tubs of their new shaving cream in Arenella Coast and Lost Provence scents with matching scented postshave balms. All told, I have 7 packages still on the way here and I'm already starting to run out of room in my bathroom cupboard to store it all...
Compared to the one soap guru on The Shave Nook who has 300+ tubs with a matching or greater number of aftershaves and men's colognes, I am a total piker ... And I just keep telling myself that too.
panna crema labdano soap and razorock chrome synthetic silvertip plissoft brush,#66/22 british aristocrat razor. 200 gillette 7 oclock sharp edge yellows. thats my limit for a while....
Saponificio Bignoli Young shaving cream, another RazoRock Ti handle, RazoRock anodized aluminum razor stand.
A sad looking Ever Ready 200M. I'll re-knot it with a Maggard's black 22mm synthetic. And a TV special Gillette Flare in need of some lovin. Flares are one of my favorites. Hard to beat for $8 including shipping.
Still waiting on 2 more boxes: 1 Wilkinson Sword Classic Razor from Pakistan or Turkey so it may take a while to get here. 1x tub of Grandstaff Amyris soap, from what I understand he starred making shave soap again after some time off. Plus free shipping, really looking forward to this one.
Tonight I ordered a One Blade from Amazon. They are running a sale for $339?!?! I am not sure if you can really call it a deal, but it is a price cut! I decided to splurge for my 50th birthday coming up on 4/2. I figured if I was ever going to order one, this would be the time. Now the tough call will be what to use on my birthday - my M2 Gillette Slim Adj (birth year razor) or my present to myself! I think I will have to go with the M2. Steve
