A couple soaps from the UK, but the one I'm looking forward to most is the EJ with the diamond cut handle, deeper knurling.
Ha ha. I went out to get the mail and there was a hand addressed envelope. Don't see many of those these days. Turned out to be a five pack of Personna Labs that I'd traded for some Wilkinsons someone wanted to try. So I guess I couldn't say I was "waiting for" them since I forgot they were coming. Nice little surprise. I have to say. I'm very glad to have other folks like you guys who understand the small pleasures involved in our pastime!
A pack of Polsilvers, a pack of Silver Blues and a blade bank, I probably should have ordered shave stick as well.
I got a variety of pirates cove soaps I got a puck of rose from the traveling box I like it so much that I ordered more, at three/ four bucks a puck,I ended up picking seven. hope the rest are as nice as the rose.
I ordered up a pair of custom blend soaps from Kevin @ BSBC. They both will have a little bit of menthol which I'm lacking from my soap collection.
I still need to try both of those. Also I had some GoToobs delivered today. So I can buy my glycerine and face cleanser in bulk but have it in nice silicone tubes rather than having giant containers cluttering up the shave space.
I give them a big thumbs up. They're on the spendy side for containers, but they are high quality. They feel great in the hand and they're nice and pliable so you can really squeeze stuff out with just a bit of pressure. Just talking about it makes me want to go up and whip up a glycerine enhanced lather just so I can squeeze the bottle.
Waiting on this. Literally the entire description on eBay said simply: "Razor." A seller of few words, apparently. Anyway, this is what I'm now waiting for. A New, unless I miss my guess. Am I right? Kind of a shot in the dark on this one... Bought it without much info to go on except a couple of slightly blurry pics.
Ha ha. That's funny. Does look like a promising LC New. Though I don't know many of the mores specific models. Let us know what you find when you open it up!
I'm waiting on my first Feather blades. edit: looks like it is going to be a long wait. it is coming from Thailand. expected delivery... November 13-28.
Disappointment. Tried to order an EJ diamond cut, deep knurled DE89. Ended up with one called a Kelvin which has knurling more like a Merkur level of quality and has a handle the size of a NEW. Kinda looked like one of the old Gillette travel razors. Too damn small for me. Now I've tot he right one ordered. Was looking forward to taking the EJ for a spin today. Oh well.
They look very comfortable. I've seen that AS in Sweden. But never really gave it a second thought =P
