The Haul: February 2016

Super haul Rob, is that a Sheraton and Aristocrat!? Beautiful brush too! Enjoy!

 

Yes thanks just added info.

 

I think that's a senator.

 

I haven't ruled out anything yet. I'm still a newb, learning every day. Hitting the flea market this weekend, see what I find.

 

Almost forgot, Stirling soaps are suberb, I'm working through some samples myself. Have fun!

 

I have the 47 Aristocrat. My birthyear razor. I just added the Senator to my list. Very nice acquisitions.

 

Got my Tabac in. Will be trying out tomorrow. I like the old school scent. Very pleasant.

 

Can't wait to see the video

 

Just got 100 GSBs and 100 Voskhod blades in the mail. Love the little hanger they come on. May actually hang them up on the inside of the medicine cabinet door

 

Also got this leather for stropping and some tequila. Wife and son back from Mexico.

The Corralejo is one long freakish bottle by comparison. Party my place.

 

Ha, basically the only alcohol I can't drink these days is tequila.
I think I have a really, really traumatic drinking memory from my twenties to the point where the mere smell of the stuff makes me gag these days

 

Yes, I know the feeling that was Gin for me. Got sick on the stuff back in the 80's.

 

I just received my last razor. It's my birth year and quarter. It looks fantastic . Aside from the water spots, it looks new .

 

This arrived yesterday - full range of Route 66 soap samples and a shaving soap from Ireland (Handmade Soap Co.)



The Route 66 soaps smell fantastic Not one I don't like

 

I'll bet you opened that one with bated breath.

 

Mail Call from china. Agioco DE. The red handle is very clean and made well. No idea what it is made of due to lack of information on the website but it was very cheap so whatever. Mainly got it for its looks. The head is a little thin for my liking. Even thinner than the head of a Gillette travel tech. Only issue with the razor first impression is the head being so light. Handle weighs 44 g and the handle+head is at 61g. It's definitely a good looking razor. Will shave with it tomorrow and let you know how it goes

 

Love that color combination.
If memory serves me right the red one is a LE run at Agioco.
They have btw a very nice instagram feed that sometimes shows a bit 'behind the scenes' when they tinker with new design ideas.
I especially like that they drink scotch during the design process

 

Already following them! They post gorgeous photos, especially of brushes. I really do like this razor as far as a first impression goes. I really want a brush but I'm pretty sure they aren't a regularly stocked item. At least it wasn't in the actual store portion of their website

 

My Square reader (works flawlessly) and my new phone!

 

Oops...here's the pic. Lol!
