Here are some photos of the latest haul, first is a photo of the haul and the second is a photo of all of the super speeds together.
Just to clarify, I'm the one who said I could add Olbas Oil to the mix not Issy. I don't want to get Issy in trouble. Although, I'm sure Issy could whip up some menthol to go with his pain cream. After shave balm is a potential I would think. Now you have me wondering. My heavy duty pain gel has the following: Active Ingredient: Capsaicin (0.025%) Other Ingredients: Deionized Water, Chamomile Extract, Carbomer 940, Polysorbate 20, Triethanolamine, Propyl Gallate, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Propylparaben, Fragrance. As you can see, Issy's pain cream is a much kinder/gentler formula and one I would use for normal aches and pains.
I got me a nice package today.. 3 Feather Portable 3-piece Razors.. and 50 Feather Blades.. All from PaulDog.. Thanks Paul!
Today was a good day... I got the Kent Bk4 I bought on Oct. 1, recieved Leisure Guy's Guide to Gorumet Shaving that I won in a contest (thanks again Leisure Guy!), and a boat load of free blades with each package. The to packages of Wilkonson Swords are slightly different. One is made in Germamy and one in London. The third pack doesn't say. Are there any differences in these blades besides where they're made? The Bk4 is my first silvertip. I was shocked during the cleaning I gave it to see how much water it took and how much bigger it was when it bloomed! Feels WAY softer than my C&E Best Badger brush. Can't wait to use it...
I checked their website the other day to see if they are offering them in black yet....no dice. Hopefully Fergie can provide an update as to when the black handled brushes will be available..
