The Haul: May 2017

And the mail just got here. I am now fully prepared for Towel day. Ordered the 42 splash and towel. Have the soap from last year. Good day for mail calls. B&M included a sample of thier Spice Reserve soap and splash, a magnet with the recipe for Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, a postcard, and some gummy fish. I left a message on thier FB page to thank them for all the fish.

 

The swedish fish double as babble fish?

 

Mmmmm Swedish Fish!

 

Found these today at an antique store about 30 minutes north... $30 for the whole lot!

nice haul.....

 

Picked up two of both these Egyptian beauties. They're going for a trip to a friend of mine in Greece!

 

That's a damn good haul! Congrats and happy shaving!!

 

Well done.

 

A few items showed up in the mail today. An Omega 11711 boar brush, I like fat brush handles. And a couple of blades from @wchnu for Auto-Strop razors. A Feather stainless steel blade and a Feather carbon steel blade.

 

Is the Omega brush natural or white?

 

It's natural boar but added color to look like badger I'm assuming. The tips actually feel kinda soft considering it hasn't been used yet. Looks like it will be a really nice brush when broken in. I will be working on the handle as I want to customize it some.

 

Well I was referring to the handle; when I looked it up it looks like natural ash.

Ooops, sorry about that, it is white ash.

 

No worries.

 

Unlike Pokemon, I've almost caught all the Pinauds! Visited a Barber & Beauty Supply shop just west on the Interstate. They also keep Omega Pro #10098's on the shelf. This knot is going to be harvested and installed in my B-400 brush. That will complete my badger/ boar/ synthetic set of quick change ferrules. The VDH Luxury shave mug joins the little blue & green shave bowl. Might take it for a lather soon.

 

Happiness is...getting your TSD Raffle score

And placing it front and center on SR shelf

My Catie's Bubbles order arrived. Chris went above and beyond with this soap. Extremely generous

 

I am looking forward to seeing what you think about the citrus musk.

 

If the drops I put on my wrist hours ago are any indication, I like it more than Lime Sec.
I'll decant into a well cleaned hot sauce bottle like all Pinauds in my den. Since I figured out how to save the labels it'll transfer, too.
