The Haul: July 2015

My Taylor of Old Bond Street Natural Shaving Cream just arrived in the mail...anxious to give it a try tomorrow morning....

 

Since I'm out of NBJ, I went and bought 4 SR for $40. 2 torey and 2 boker . pics coming soon

 

Sounds like a great score. For some reason there seems to be a lot of them around this month.

 

I know. I'm getting the 5th tomorrow. He said if I bought 5 he'd sell them for $10 each

 

I haven't seen the Bolzano's before, I look forward to your review.

 

TOBS is always a lather monster for me, you should be pleased with it.

 

Wow, is that Bolzano from before the manufacturing moved to Germany?
These blades have been one of the most popular in Italy for about 100 years.
Later on they moved manufacturing to Germany and Feintechnik (that also make/made blades like Croma, Elios and Merkur).

 

Only the Decaf stuff.

Boker

 

Wow, quite a steal. The Boker Tree brand looks, to my untrained eye, to have some damage.

 

Afraid not; they are German made. I believe they remain popular in Italy, though, and are still distributed by an Italian company. According to Italianbarber.com, production moved some decades ago but the Italians remain in close supervision. All claim that they are hard to come by, but from googling, this doesn't seem correct.

@Misphit I will make sure to post about my experience!

 

It's a St. Regis. I thought it was but closer look, its solid, smooth and actually looks like it was made that way, or it was repaired that way.

 

See - untrained eye

 

But I saw in person. I'm having a similar issue with the duck I sent to Glen. I need him to tell me if it can be saved because I can't tell

 

Well, best of luck and if anyone can save it I bet it's Glen.

 

That's why I sent it to him. He just finished my Bur.

 

I finally received my Ikon 102 Slant from @RaZorBurn123! Can't wait to try it out!

 

That thing is stunning. If you decide you hate it, let me know and I'll trade you my kid for it.

 

Received my Spanish Gurelan razor today. Really like that handle.

 

Not as clumsy or random as a disposable. An elegant shaver from a more civilized age.
