The Haul: February 2013

What's new in your world this month?

​

 

I'll put in a couple over night orders real fast for the good of the community.

 

I love being a mod. But I'm not staying up until midnight to post the new thread, when I have to get up for work at 0430H

 

I'm not sure it will help. But I believe I have a puck of AOS lavender waiting for me at the post office.

 

Two small Hauls for me this week!

On Wednesday:

1x Gatsby Ice Cooling Facial Wash (awesome stuff and sooooooo much menthol!

Today:

1x Godrej Menthol Mist SC (damn, I LOVE this stuff!)

 

Got an Amazon gift card for my birthday, so I used it!

 

Nothing fancy today: an alum block. But in a nice travel case:

 

1965 Gillette Slim Adjustable
just got this today. Its in great shape. cant wait to use it tomorrow!

 

Nice case indeed. Is there anything dvh can't do? I'm telling you mike...you and the minions need to get on this as exclusive dvh importers to the states.

 

DVH can't do the shave for you, but I might teach the minions to do that. How about a 'shave at home' service? I may have to teach them proper 'Engrish' as well! (Papoi? Wakannanana papoi? - Nononono. Papoi! - Ah, papoi! Hihihihi.)

 

Just got these Lijun shaving brushes the other day.

1. The first brush was part of an inexpensive set including a DE razor and a stand. The brush is described as "finest badger". The entire set cost just $21.99
2. The second brush is a Luxury "Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush" for $36.99.
3. The last brush is "finest pure badger" which cost just $15.99.

It will be interesting to see how these brushes compare with those from Frank Shaving.

Cheers, Lyndon

 

Pic to follow after dinner, but my iKon Bulldog handle and DE89 finally showed up today! Ahhhh can't wait for tomorrow. Now I just have to get my NEW head replated and I can have a 3 in 1 razor.

Edit - As Promised!

​

 

I had a similar idea but I find the Cadet head a able stand in for the New .

 

I've been thinking about one as well, did your cadet OC fit the handle without having to use a hacksaw on the threads?

 

Yea it fit straigtaway no retrofitting. I bought the Cadet from Italian Barber.

 

Looks like I'll have to order myself the Little Bastone that I've had in my wishlist, then! Thanks
