The Haul: September 10th – September 16th, 2007

Catching up on a few things this week;

Trade From Quercus
1 Harris Arlington soap puck w/wood bowl - Found out this was a defective puck, won't lather worth a darn, oh well.
1 tub Mama Bear Clear Skies shaving soap
1 Nancy Boy Signature Scent Bath bar
1 Nancy Boy Replenishing Scent Bath bar

Trade From Baloosh
De Vergulde Hand Soap stick
De Vergulde Hand shaving cream tube
Valobra Shave Stick
Anherb A/S gel
SCS Bayberry Shaving Cream Sample
Nancy Boy aftershave gel travel bottle

Purchased from Bronco
1 Gillette Milord
1 Gillette Slim Adjustable - I think this is going to be my new favorite Razor

And lastly, my latest overseas package from a helpful member of SMF
2 bottles Pitralon Classic (aka German Pitralon)
2 tubs Tabula Rasa Dark Lavender

I can't get over how much I really like the German Pitralon. It's got a bit sharper alcohol scent than Swiss Pitralon, and a different and more subtle scent altogether. It's probably a bit less moisturizing than SP, but it works really great for me in humid Texas weather. I used it and the De Vergulde Hand shaving cream this morning, followed by some PC and my face has felt great all day.

 

yippieeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From JoAnna:

1x TSD Avalanche shaving soap (smells delicious!)
2x Floid sc tubes (beautiful barbershop scent!)

Looks like I'm gonna shave like a real king tomorrow! :bounce:happy036

 

Today a Norton flattening stone was waiting for me at my doorstep.

 

Thanks, JoAnna--I guarantee you I will! :drool

 

Picked this up from ebay...minor rust in the hinges...dont know how to fix that because of the gold wash... pins a bit lose and the scales are a bit uneven.but hardly noticeable.......did i mention it has no edge

YOu cant fix that pin issue can you?

 

Ha ha ha!! Fear my new toy!

 

Strange looking toy/lense. Whatcha got there?

 

From wiki:

An extension tube is an accessory for cameras with interchangeable lenses, used primarily for macro photography. The tube contains no optical elements; its sole purpose is to move the lens farther from the film or digital sensor. The farther away the lens is, the closer the focus, the greater the magnification, and also the greater the loss of light (requiring a longer exposure time). Lenses classically focus closer than infinity by moving all optical elements farther from the film or sensor; an extension tube simply extends this movement. When a lens is focused at infinity, its maximum magnification is the length of the extension divided by the focal length of the lens.

 

Thanks! Good to know these things. Very educational. Now, let's see some pictures using it.
