The Haul: March 2015

No, it is an adjustable.

 

I have to stop looking at this thread, my RAD could definitely kick in after seeing that great looking kit.

 

My mistake, I was looking at it on my phone and didn't have my reading glasses on.

 

I like the haslinger soaps The milk one is pretty good

 

My wife and I both got a haul. She got a whipped dog synthetic brush and some caties bubbles. I got my baby smooth razor and a new knot for my century brush. The cold river was out for my morning shave so it got in the pic.

 

+1000. Looking at threads like this are exactly what gets me into trouble! Worth it though!

 

Great looking brush

 

Fantastic looking brush. Just stunning

 

Thanks alot! Found a great price on this new OC set minus the M1 plate which I grabbed for about $40 (in case I didnt end up liking the OC) . LOL

 

Very Nice.

 

I've been fortunate enough to try most of the ATT base plates, only missing the H1 and H2 plates. Of all of the ones I have tried the M2 and R2 are still among my favorites. Be sure to let us know your thoughts after using them.

 

My first online vintage razor purchase, '48-'50 super speed DE razor

 

Thanks! I tried the M2 today shortly after arriving and thought it went well. I didnt use my normal Arko soap stick cause I was trying to use up some samples I collected but loaded up my go to Astra SP blade and got a very nice three pass shave (DFS) all around, which to me is great! I can hear it cut and when I see I have soap tracks on my face I can tell my angle is off so these two things helps me alot! I cant wait to try it out more. I will try out the M1 after the M2 and then move onto the R2.

My buddy loves the M1 and R1 plates and that was my plan but came across a deal on this set too good to pass up! Then found a M1 for sale cheap so picked that up too! The only thing in this set I am pretty sure I wont use is the Colossus handle so will have to hunt for an Atlas one.

Which handle(s) do you use with your ATT goodies?

 

I received my RazoRock Baby Smooth razor. I just shaved with it. Also F&C Black Powder.

 

I have a friend that is nuts about ATT and has all the plates made. He has been nice enough to let me try them for extended periods of time. In the past I have used all three ATT handles but prefer the middle one, forget what's it's called. For this two week test of the Slant plates, I have used my small Mongoose handle which is the same size as the Colossus. The large mongoose handle is 50% larger than the Colossus.

 

Craigslist haul today! New Merkur 23c, cheap brush, nice stand, 100 blades, Jack Black cream, Poraso soap and pre lube, and a wood tub, all new, all for $50.
The pic is from the ad, so not the best. Also won an auction this weekend with a birth year/quarter slim adjustable! Eagerly waiting on it!

 

I have heard good things about the ATT slant, although it seems to be a toss up between the S1 and S2 from the posts I read. The middle handle is the Krono's. I need the Atlas one as the Colossus it too big and I can't imagine the larger mongoose one even bigger....too crazy for me! LOL

 

My slant, THE SLEDGEHAMMERG, came in today & my open comb, both by Merkur,came in a couple of days ago. Just finished shave with the slant, petformance was not short of excellent. The open comb gave a great shave also.

 

How's the BP? Long lasting like the other you have?

 

Yup. I really like this vendor, I'd say a good 4-5 hours easy. Definitely give them a look.
