I'm glad you got it buddy. I'll look for your thoughts on it on the SOTD.

Ordered a modular strop paddle from straight razor designs today. Almost all set, won't need to buy anything else...

Lousy day at the mailbox. Knucklehead's sent fifty 7 O'clock Blacks instead of Blues and my Schick G1 case didn't arrive and it looks like the guy didn't ship on the 9th when he said he did. No answer from him. Now I have 2 claims to do. Sometimes this is just like work. Paperwork, paperwork.....

This one is for Valentine's day, smells like vanilla. They've been hard to get a hold of. As for pairing with Wellington, maybe you're thinking of fireside? Cognac?

Ahh, sorry, it was Ryan PlanofMan that served Wellington on Valentine's, not you! He posted a photo in the How's your day thread. My bad.. I was, in other words, really thinking of Valentine's. (Fireside could be interesting, though, as would Henri et Victoria's version - cognac and cigar, was it? More of a guys night kind of soap I guess.)

Oh no worries

I will post thoughts about it, hopefully it can keep up with expectations.

Another Catie's Bubbles order..... this makes 4 in less then a week....I have issues...

Celtic Knot

Mile High Menthol

Not shaving related but I blame @ChiefShaver here for enabling me to get a Slow Watch
After going back and forth..and back again on what watch and strap combination I wanted...I finally settled on the "Jo 17".
Funny thing is that's the very first combo that I liked..I guess trust your gut.
I like the combination of stainless steel casing and the thicker, more 'rugged' strap.
If I really like the watch I can always get a second strap as well

Should arrive already tomorrow.

@Darkbulb: Very nice. Thumbs up. That one is a looker too. Now i´m thinking of buying your strap myself.

Congrats to this beautiful watch.

Really like the looks of that watch, excellent choice.

Thanks. First watch purchase in 10+ years and I think/hope I picked one that will stay with me for at least that time.
Delivery not until tomorrow...aw, thought it was gonna come today. Oh well

Have some aftershave headed my way, another brush and thought I would try out one of Extro's homed bath soaps

Floid Blue


Extro cologne Rasoio & Pennello winter 2015-2016: prevailing notes Patchouli, Sandalwood, Violet flowers and Bergamot Peel.


Extro' Cologne Sandalo: Sandalwood

Extro Soap Mandddorla: Almond


Zenith 506U Manchurian Brush

Knot: 26mm
Loft: 51mm
Handle: Olive wood

Great to see another Extro-fan

I really enjoy Extro products and this will give e 7 aftershaves/colognes from Extro. Curious to see what the Sandalwood and Lavender will be like as they typically do not use just one FO/EO in their products.

Do you buy from TVB?

Yes, this is the 3rd time. Excellent prices and surprisingly shipments haven't taken long to arrive. Have to wait on the brush this order but I'm in no hurry.

Please post some review/thoughts on the new stuff. Their prices are great so if they also perform well they're a killer deal

Will do!
