After travelling for weeks over the Atlantic dodging pirates and sea monsters of old - my Swedish (A)Eterna DE razor finally appeared in San Francisco today!
It's been a small white whale for me for some time so I'm super excited to give it a try this week.

That it arrived in near flawless condition (no brassing, dirt, etc) was just a huge plus.

First impression: Man, this thing is heavy.


Some quick snaps tonight:

Blades came in from Russia

I her good things about those Ladas.

Should be good blades too!

My first two weeks of Wet Shaving "Starter Pack"

May be doing a PIF here in a couple weeks. Some of the scents aren't Wifey approved, so of course, those will have to go.

Nice sample pack of blades but what is in those tins.

Wet Shaving Products samples: Marakesh, Sandalwood, Mahogany, and Black Amber Vanille.

200 Voskhods arrived from Moscow yesterday.

There is so many russian blade hauls this month =P

A good month, picked up a Gillette Parat the English version, very nice. And a refill on my Tabac. One should never run out of Tabac.

Nice haul!

And there's more on the way.

I believe you'll find a tuck of Ladas in da box. The prices are sooooo good, you really can't/shouldnt pass this one up.

I finally broke down and ordered soom MdC Fougere. I received it from France 7 days from the day I placed my order. They included a sample of the Fougere Bath Soap too.

I know I know... It hurts a little bit, but this time I need to follow my no buy strictly. Hopefully in the prices are the same in july. I might get 200 of the Ladas. I have a lot of blades right now, BUT I'm closing in on halv the 100 pack of astras =P

I'll have the time to try the ladas again and really find out how good they are for me. I appreciate receiving another 5 pack =D I still have som from the box with my MMOC and super speed =D I stil haven't tried the voskhood. But the LADAS was very very smooth.

You will NOT be sorry. If you do I'll be happy to take it off your hands hahaha

Are those the 2oz. version from Dr. Jons? I'm guessing your took advantage of the sampler pack pack with the whole line up.

My first Maggards Soap! I bought these little bitty Fine aftershave bottles to save room, as I have four of the regular size bottles.

That's a nice line up and perfect way to sample all of their scents. Curious to hear which ones you like best. I was impressed by the Maggard sample I tried, it was the london barbershop scent. Hope it's a winner.
