As of tonight I am still waiting on 140 Russians though tracking indicates the Registered mail notice should be awaiting me tomorrow. If so that's 8 day shipping from Moscow...a new record for me. Also two "mystery" razors (I know what they are) and, as of about 15 minutes ago, a nice wooden shave soap bowl with a puck of Tabac in it.
There was only one option but it was in line with regular cost from Europe. I'm rather impressed by how quickly it is moving through the world....should be here tomorrow.
Yeah, my hippie-friend likes this product a lot and convinced me to give it a try. The detox aspect of it is interesting but I've also read that that causes a certain unpleasant odor for a few days. It will be a nice break from the Brut deodorant that I had to pick up at a convenience store a week ago when my regular deo ran out.
Apparently shipping from Italy is a bit more reliable than Russia, though my latest order is on pace to arrive in a total 8 days. I think, though, that customs on both ends knows my name and just chuckle when they see another batch of blades coming in. Probably figure I'm just some weirdo with a blade fetish. Oh wait.....
in the works this week; some knots being sent from whipped dog. one going to meet it's new handle. one coming here. one Olivewood handle going to meet it's new knot. 16lbs of shaving goodies should also be headed my way this week. via, the box tour 2015. should be an interesting week.
I scored a Rocket Flair Tip off of eBay over the weekend. I ought to see it late this month, it's coming from Romania of all places. I am also anxiously awaiting my 195 to return with its new rhodium plating from Razor Emporium.
Still waiting on this one. Bruno at Vintage Scent says his shipment of them from Semogue is late and mine will ship as soon as he gets them. Kind of a bummer, but I can deal with it, especially since I have an explanation of what's going on. Also waiting on... let's see, a Seifenglatt-branded soap, Teakwood Cade Sandalwood, that was on clearance now that the company has rebranded as Soap Smooth; an HMW knot from Larry; a couple synthetic knots from China; and I think that's it. A custom brush handle's on the horizon and B&M's Lavanille splash when it comes out in June. After that, I should be set for a good while.
waiting for 3 orders. one from here (TSD 7 samples and one full sized puck of Aqua Velva type menthol), one order for Derby cream in the tub, and a pump bottle of KMF Patchouli. can't wait to try them!
Looks great and quite honestly the macro lens I got is a very simple lens element - think magnifying glass - but the results are pretty good. I'm sure yours will take at least as good - or better - better and hey, you got a third lens as well in your package Looking forward to seeing some shots from it!
That sounds like an awesome haul! I Should talk to someone that travels to the US a lot, and ask if they could get me all those KMF pump creams =P
The fisheye lens, i dont think i'll use it =P im getting it for the macro lense =) i have wanted to take close up pictures I Will definitely tag you in the pictures =)
Went on a SE Binge over the last week!!! I'm waiting on a GEM Junior, Damenskeene, Featherweight, ever ready 1914, and a brass GEM. Also a Clog Pruff from a generous member. Pics will be up when they arrive.
I just got these in the mail over the last two days! One pack had the two SE razors, in VERY GOOD shape, and the other package had the 1973 black beauty. All Three razors are very clean, and it's nice to upgrade from user grade. The 6 packs of Russian blades came in the other day as well. It will be a fun month, trying out all the new stuff.
