The Haul: February 2016

I look to reading your full review. I'm waiting to pull the trigger even though I have a coupon code from them.

 

A trip to an antique store over the weekend landed me this, I plan to use it as a blade bank:


And then while at the grocery store I saw this glycerin body soap. Hoping that it will help with the dry Colorado air.

But I thought to myself couldn't hurt to try and build a lather with it:

It was as slick and cushiony feeling on my hands as any of my other shave soaps. Granted I didn't shave with it, but I think I could have easily. And at $1.99 for a 4 oz bar would make a very inexpensive shave soap.

 

As of right now I have mixed feelings. The top cap is crap, is it shiny? Yeah! It's thin and mine has alignment issues which is an annoyance to me. I don't like having to fiddle with razor heads before a shave. We'll see after tomorrow's shave.

UPDATE: shaved with the Evahs this morning. A short review can be found here: http://theshaveden.com/forums/threa...16-february-21-2016.49774/page-13#post-996072

 

You have two more days to try and win one as well. Competition on their Instagram account.
I haven't seen any entries yet..so chances would be 100% right now

 

That's awesome! The slit in that can is perfect. That looks like great lather.

 

Lol I don't have Instagram , but my 12 year son does.. Lol I had him do it for me... Hahaha they are in for a surprise.. Lol cuz he has 12 year old stuff in his Instagram ... I'm not into those things..

 

Good plan!
Here's their instagram account. The competition rules, etc are in their last photo update: https://www.instagram.com/_evahs_/

Here's where you can keep track of the competition: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/evahsmorning/
Seems like there is one entry in now.

Copied from it:
"This is your chance to win your own Evahs double edge safety Razor!
We are on the lookout for more morning ritual ideas. Entry is simple.

2)Tag us in the photo.

3) Mention @_evahs_ in the caption.

4) Hashtag #evahs and #evahsmorning.


We will select two different winners. One will be our favorite image of the morning ritual, and one will be our favorite new morning ritual idea. Entry will be closed Friday Feb 19th at 8pm pst, and we will announce the winners the following Sunday. We can't wait to see what you all come up with. Cheers! "

 

Lol great now everyone is gonna do it and just like most contests... I won't win.. Lol

Thank you for the help

 

I entered a photo into the competition with the disclaimer that I already own one and if I win I will have a one-day-PIF on TSD and have it shipped directly to the winner

 

I kinda doubt there will be any flood of entries. It's 48 hours left and so far two entries

 

Lol seems like it's just you and me so far.

 

Yes, if you're in Chile (which is the only other one I can see)

 

Finally picked up a user grade PAL InjectoMatic on the cheap.
After extensive cleaning it still has a couple of discolored spots on the head and it appears that someone held onto it with a pair of pliers at the top of the handle because there's a couple of bite marks in the metal.
My only concern is that the bottom plate moves around a bit so hopefully having a blade loaded will take up the slack so I can shave with it.

 

Well done, scuttles doesn't get a lot of uses. Better to trade with something that will be used

 

Oh, wow.. Such a nice brush!

 

he started on Instagram before he was a year old????

 

So true. I never used my scuttle. As in never. It just took a lot of space and collected dust. I'm much happier with the 37C on the shelf. I will have to try it soon.

 

Lol no. He's 12 and has postings related to his age.

 

that was going to be my second guess lol. My nephew began getting into that when he was your son's age. (He's 18 now).

 

You out bid me on that one. I'm interested to hear how you like it.
