    Well, I obtained this in two separate actions ... case and razor.

    Adding M-Bomb is a great idea! Thick, creamy lather with a cold blast! :happy036:

    I've added quite a few things lately but I'll resist the temptation to list/show everything lest you think I've got some kind of problem or something.

    First up is an Avon hard hat decanter that's nearly full of aftershave that actually doesn't smell too bad. I'm not into collecting Avon decanters but I do have a half dozen of the chess pieces that I picked up last year for ten cents each just because they were cheap and each one had a different aftershave in it. The hard hat called to me because I wear one at work every day.

    Next are three Schick Injectors I picked up on the bay. I already have an identical J model but this one was cheap and it came from the same vendor who I got the Lady Schick from so they gave me a break on the shipping. I've already used the Adjustable twice and couldn't be happier to finally own one. The Lady Schick is a real beauty (despite my lack of camera skill) and looking at the head I'm curious about the blade exposure and how it might do shaving a beard rather than a lady's legs so I may pop a blade in it and give it a run.

    And then a couple more Old Spice mugs since you can't have too many. One of the mugs came with a brush that had a handle similar to an EverReady but didn't have any markings. It's in pretty good shape so I'm in the process of sanitizing it for use so it wasn't available for picture taking.

    Nice haul. You said, "And then a couple more Old Spice mugs since you can't have too many." I'd be happy to find just one. Ha!

    I have clubman special reserve and vanilla. What is the musk like. Is it similar to either of those scents?

    Don't have Vanilla yet. I love Special Reserve which i think is stronger than the Musk and different, it seems very mild and pleasant, not sure how to classify it, musky and a little powdery as it dries down. I enjoy it, not as strong as other musk AS i have smelled. If you want, im me your address and i will PIF you a sample bottle that i received from Maggards.

    Received my Kaweco Sport 3.2 lead holder/pencil this morning. EXCELLENT writing instrument, nice, chunky hex barrel fits perfect in the hand. Highly recommended if you have or are developing grip issues. Comes in all colors and clear tones but the burgundy with tasteful gold touches looks like it could be out of the 1930s. Now all I need is the right sharpener for these big leads, and the pocket clip when they get them in.

    I know this is useless without pictures, but my kids have totally tired me out today and I'm too tired to take pics. Plus this thing is heavy so moving it into decent light won't be easy.
    But I am so happy about this purchase I have to share it with people who appreciate it.
    I am running out of storage space, it is becoming a problem. But my wife came home from work and she had bought me this old white wooden cabinet, with glass doors and a shelf in. It is pretty big so there is room for some more shelves. Can't wait to get it mounted on the wall and start filling it.
    Don't know what makes me more happy. Getting exactly the type of cabinet I wanted, or having such a thoughtful wife.

    Forgot another razor to show in my last post. I'm like an alcoholic hiding bottles all over the house and then forgetting where I put them.
    Anywho... stopped in an antique store I'd never visited the other day while out of town and plunked down ten bucks for this cute little 1917 Milady Décolleté.
    Gave it a quick cleanup and I'm happy with my purchase.
