What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Splurged on myself this morning. I figured I may as well go for the big bowl and not have to make a decision on the scent (bowl only comes in one scent)

SAVON À RASER LE BOL EN BOIS (translation = regular scent MdC in a wooden bowl)

 

More info needed! It looks like I should grab a spoon and eat it. Is it sugar free?

 

Sorry, forgot not everyone would know what the heck it was...

 

And still dont

 

Martin De Candre shave soap in original scent (lavender) that they sell in a artisan made wooden bowl. It is commonly called the brain bowl due to its appearance. I believe it can only be ordered directly from France.

 

Old Town shaving has them as well but with the current exchange rates it's less expensive from France. I've enjoyed the MdC so much this month, I've thought of doing the exact same thing.

 

Right you are

 

And just think, your shave den will smell fantastic for the next year at least. From my experience the soap seems to last forever. I've not made a real dent in 30+ shaves. At this rate the regular container should last me over 250 shaves.

 

Picked up this for about $5
It's a Berkeley Custom Shaver. Some more info and photos here
Basically it's a huge adjustable razor (1-8) with a large plastic handle that can keep your blades.....no, I'm not sure why.

Will be interesting to see its condition and if it can clean up when I get it sometime next week or so.


Hey, at least it comes in a wooden box

 

You are certainly the curator of cool and unique razors.

 

Well, with this one I might just have bitten off more than I can chew...shave...

 

But will that not dry out and loose it's edge? And how many grams is it?

 

That looks good enough to eat.

 

Very excited to get my hands on a tub of this soap:

 

I've heard so many good things about his soaps - actually never a bad thing...
The cost of shipping has always been a bit of a deterrent for me.
Do post your thoughts when you get a chance to try it out.

 

A truly exceptional soap, by the way. I enjoy both the regular scent and the fougére.

 

Shaving-related…
I will be using this in razor restoration and fabrication. A nice adjunct to the standard 4" bench sander already in use.

 

Waiting on:

1) Gillette Corgi van

It's NIB like this:


....but that obviously won't last D


It's a tiny little truck - you wouldn't be able to fit a razor into it

2) A L'Essor and a Thiers-Issard

 

That's a nice T.I. .... I didn't think you were into straights??

 

And here I am just waiting for lunch..
