The Haul: July 2017

Orange for sure, not sure what the 'spice' smell is. Will use it in the next few days, and then hopefully have a better opinion. I only have one other TFS soap, Mastro Miche, and find it a unique scent as well.

 

A soap worth replacing arrived today.

 

This is the last of what's come in recently.
Until of course, I find something else to buy...

A large glass shave mug. I have one very similar but this one is slightly larger. The latest one is on the left and the other one has a full size puck of GFT so you can see they hold a big puck of soap.



And then a little travel kit that appears to have never been used.

 

Ahhhh! Images aren't showing up in Tapatalk! ! !

Have you tried turning it off, and back on?
/sarcasm off

 

It was almost like Christmas in July with a bunch of packages in the mail today. But these two are what I'm posting here. From @Keithmax, a Russian Rocket straight razor and strop from his PIF. And from @Jayaruh, a handle which fits my Gem 1912 nicely and I kept it unfinished because I have a couple ideas for it, hopefully.

 

Very cool, Jim. I would have loved to have won that pif. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for the handle.

 

I've never used a styptic pencil before, but I'll have one ready for my first shave with the straight.

 

Wow! Your first shave with a straight. I hope you have watched lots of videos. I hope you don't need the styptic pencil.

 

Seen some and will watch more of them.

 

3 resto projects. Well 2 really the one on the left was a package deal.

New tub of XPec and an unopened puck of ABC hard soap. I have now used the XPec a few times and it lives up to its reputation (must mention Connaught for the great price - I've seen it for twice what I paid). The little plastic containers I grabbed in Wal-Mart ($1.50 for the set). They are a good size for soaps.

 

$20 Craigslist buy this week. I cleaned them as best I could. The red tip shaves fantastic.

He wanted $40 but I texted back and asked for f he would let it go for $20 if I picked up. He agreed and 30 minutes each way had a project for Monday afternoon.

Wait a minute! $20 for all that???? There's a fat boy in there too! Someone call the police! That's a screaming steal!

 

The Fatboy was the only razor I was familiar with. The case is in perfect condition. Someone told me yesterday they seen a case not as good as mine go for $41.
