What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Damn . I'm sorry.. I was going to bid on that one

 

It was probably best you didn't. You would have gotten the milk bottle instead.

 

My wife says my Mongoose arrived and I won't be home until Wednesday night

 

Exact same thing has happened to me twice - meaning that the seller sent the wrong packages out and the other person not responding.
Ugh, it's such a disappointment when it happens. Sorry

 

I'm waiting on a pack of Feather blades to arrive. They're supposed to be here on Thursday. It's one of the many brands of DE blades I haven't tried yet.

 

I really like Feathers. I'm interested to hear your take on them.

 

Yes, it is a big disappointment to me. I was waiting for the mailman in anticipation of starting on the restoration project, I even had my ultra-sonic cleaner set up and full of hot water. I really like those Gillette Milords. I just know I would have restored it in fine fashion. Oh well, I will keep the faith, and hope I will still get it.

 

I'll definitely check back in here at TSD to share my opinion of them. I hope they live up to the hype. I know some folks don't care for them, but overall, they seem to be very well liked by DE users.

Good luck waiting until Wednesday to use your new Mongoose. I'd like to know it works out for you.

 

Hard to beat Floïd quality and the price is surely right....Ive got them both and like em a lot.

 

I forgot to mention, I also have three Gillette Super Speeds coming. Two Flare Tips, and a Fourties Style. I usually keep a couple extra Super Speeds on hand for when I need an emergency DE starter kit.

 

Post a pic of the milk bottle!

 

I've seen these copper bowls from Turkey on eBay as well and have considered purchasing one of them. I'd love to see a review from you after you've had a chance to use it.

 

Dang you enablers !!! I also have been thinking about the copper shave bowl from Turkey but soon forgot about it, well until now.
Debating, do I need/want a bowl with a lid on it or not. Lid to keep soap pucks from drying.

 

I had one that came with a rub mark on it told them and they are sending me another. It makes a great lather because of the hammering in the sides.

 

Bummer indeed.

 

Nothing as I'm 1-month in to my "No Buy 2016" and doing well. Emptied my eBay watch list and focusing on using all the items I acquired last year.

 

I was thinking the hammering in the sides would make working a lather easier. Thanks for confirming that. Do you like the overall size of the bowl, or do you find it too small or too big?

 

It's a nice size about 5" wide.

 

Chiseled Face Trade Winds aftershave, I really enjoy the Sherlock I have so I'm sure Trade Winds will be no different.

 

I'm really happy with my Futur! You should like it!
