The Haul: February 2016

Yes, they are supposed to be Treet platinum blades.

 

You need more storage at the rate your going....

 

How did you get a pic of the @Darkbulb secret storage facility (cartridge razor wing)?

 

Fantastic haul my friend!

He actually rents it from me... LOL

 

Non-shaving related..but a very exciting acquisition for me - my new Slow Watch (JO 17). "Thanks" @ChiefShaver for the enabling - I absolutely love this watch.

Took me twenty-thirty minutes to 'adjust' to how it represents time but it's already second nature and the ability to view the whole day as one rotation on the watch does make a difference.

The leather strap here is the 'roughest' and thickest that they have. The other leather ones are rather thin and buttery soft but I wanted something a bit more 'raw' to go with the stainless steel.
(The 'writing' on the back is from an un-peeled plastic sticker)
​

So in the span of two weeks I've bought both a wallet and a watch - and the last time I bought either of those were 10+ years ago.
I think I'm all leathered-up for spring and summer to arrive. Really happy with both purchases.

Slow Jo 17 watch and Popov wallet.
May it be at least another ten years before I need to replace either of them.

​

 

Great choices @Darkbulb, they look rugged but elegant also. Enjoy!

 

Thanks!
I really only buy a new watch and/or wallet every ten years or so..so I'm hoping it will be that long until I have to do i again.
Having said that I'm really happy about both of them. Stainless steel and leather. Hard combination to go wrong with

 

Nice.
Are the heads throw-aways or how's the quality on yours?
(Note: These are the older DeFitches and if memory serves me right they actually advertise them as 'you buy them for the handles)

 

This is my first time posting here.

I'll start from now on





Got this guy in today along with a couple backup pucks of SDM.

Great stuff in here guys!

 

How magestic Lance! Enjoy my friend...

 

Nice brush! It'll look terrific in a SOTD with...you know what!

 

How many bottles went home with you?

 

Thank u Robert!

I need u to get me in shape cause this thing weighs a ton!

Just test lathered it and I'm gonna need a sling....

 

That's awesome! The extra weight probably helps make better lather and loading faster.

 

Resale shop had a full bottle (made in Mexico, I think) of Mennen Baby Magic Colonia. That's right...cologne for babies.* It's just barely in the neighborhood of barbershop scent (the powderiness) with a hint of that fragrance they use in their baby shampoo, plus something not too dissimilar to Agua de Colonia. A hit of Clubman, Canoe or Windjammer might make it into something appealing to the ladies without you smelling like a new diaper, but I haven't decided whether I'm going to try it. Might just put it as is into the Traveling Box of Travel.

*not to be confused with Axe

 

Unlike the last time I found some Pinaud colognes ... This time I only purchased 2. One of each scent.

 

That's a really nice watch and wallet. I like the idea of seeing the whole day on the watch. A very novel concept.

 

That is a wonderful brush.
