The Haul: March 2015

I received two of the new Tallow formula soaps from Country Club for Men. Initial impressions are great, and I will be using them all this week so that I can post a proper review (with lather shots).

 

If nothing else that is some very fancy looking labels.

 

Oh yes. And they came packaged in the nice velvet black bags that they are resting on...first class all the way.

 

Officially ready for Arko April

I'm at work so I still have no idea what it smells like but my wife said old candy? It'll be a surprise when I get home.

 

Dude, you won't need 3 sticks for one month =P

 

The dog is home. Time to feed him.

Larry really is a great guy. And great shipping as well.

I just wanted to see if I could fool you all. So I did purchase this, and It will be my last purchase of a razor for 2015. I just could not resist the purchase. Just to show you all the true size:



No blades :-(. Does anyone have any spare or does anyone know where I can get the laurels dumbbell mini blades?

 

Ha, thanks I've never understood just how small they were

 

Looks great! Love the WD brushes.

 

Beautiful razor!but I'm partial to Gillette adjustables

 

thank you, I cant wait to give it a try..just finished the cleaning with the little oxy clean pack larry send with it.

 

OK two more items came in today and hopefully will be my final items for march, but I do have a few more rolls razors on the way. I married my Olive wood shaving brush handle with another 24/68 Silvertip knot I ordered again at Aliexpress from Vig shaving. I didn't mentally put together that I had already ordered another silvertip from Aliexpress or I would have chosen another Badger hair choice when I ordered. The second Item I acquired was a rose gold tech replate that I saw on eBay being offered by Razor Emporium. Since I have several razors in replate contention and a variety of plating services to choose from, I thought the $36.00 price I won the auction for was a reasonable way to check out the quality of work even though I am not a huge ran of rose gold techs.

 

Can't help you unfortunately, I have just a enough blades to display with my Laurels and Kewties.

 

Steve did a wonderful job.

 

Great score on that replate, looks good. It's hard to judge the work if you can't see before pictures. Love the brush.

 

No, it is a shaving brush. This: is a horse.

I think it's just someone running behind you clapping together two halves of a coconut.

 

It's HOME!!! My '47 Superspeed (pre July) made it back from Chris at Razorplate. This old dog gave him some issues. It had some exposed brass under the head and ended up throwing bubbles on one of the doors. What a beauty now, though. Great work and I'm thrilled to have it back!! It will get a tryout in a day or two. This was the first vintage I bought so it's now restored to its rightful place.
