What are you waiting on to arrive...?

TRIAD Helix Hexagon Titanium

 

Welcome to "The List"

 

How long does one wait?

 

Hard to say. I received this on 5/22:
"We have been delivering razors and working through the backlog. While it's impossible to accurately predict, we are up to the middle of February (the join date) and turning orders around as fast as possible."

I'm not sure if one can completely extrapolate a timeline from that but, maybe, roughly, three months?

 

I've been on the list for two months so far...

 

I saw a post from someone indicating they were notifying those on the list in early March. They seem to be working through the list fairly quickly since production resumed in early May. I hope when they have the backlog caught up, that the OC baseplate will become available.

 

Well. I'm on da list....the wait begins

 

Waiting for 'Feather Blades-Order'...hoping they'll fit my Auto Strop?

 

Also need a "Strop" for it! ;-)

 

Fine Accouterment Angel hair brush. $20 I couldn't pass this up. I'm going all synthetic.

 

Nice! Any particular reason for synthetic? Performance, cost, looks?

 

I've got a couple of things coming. I actually used my birthday money on me this year...

 

Renewed PETA membership?

 

I decided to jump on the 'The Sky is Falling'-bandwagon and ordered myself some GEM blades - just in case.
'Funny' thing with ordering online is that other things have a tendency of finding their way into the shopping cart as well..

I ordered from Connaught and was once again reminded of how really good their prices are, in the end my order ended up being;

1) A tray of 100 GEM SE SS coated blades ($23)
2) An iColoniali Smoky-Mango Shaving soap that have gotten rave reviews. Comes in a terra cotta bowl. ($20)
3) A tube of Tabac Hair cream ($7.50) - Great price compared to what I would pay elsewhere
4) My very first jar or Tabac Shaving Cream in bowl ($19) - also way less than what I've seen in other places

i Coloniali Mango soap (apparently a very 'smoky' mango with a tad of menthol in it. Reviews I've read are loving it.

 

Yes. Performance is the main reason, my Ever-Ready 150 that Gary re knotted with a synthetic will out perform any natural hair brush I have, the Plisson is a fantastic brush. They don't shed, they dry within minutes. I'll keep and continue to use the natural hair brushes I have, but I don't see me buying any new ones.

 

As I'm eating a hamburger writing this

 

Thanks. I'm starving!
Power outage this morning so I couldn't even make coffee.
Need lunch...now....

 

What was the cause? The rain?

 

Noo idea. It was out 5:45am to 7:10am.
Realized an interesting flaw in the building: The underground car garage doors can't be opened manually during a power outage. Had a small line of cars with some very frustrated people in them. Overheard one lawyer cancelling a case over her cell phone - and another just cursing

 

That's dangerous. Someone probably stole the battery backup, or the copper wire.
