I got my 24mm Finest in fan from Stirling yesterday. Initial thoughts here: http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/the-stirling-exchange.53363/page-7
Received an orders of soaps from Sterling today. I never tried them before and have heard many good things about Sterling. I wanted a Christmas scent so I ordered a tub of Christmas Eve and samples of Gatlinburg & Coniferous. They also threw in a sample of Honey Oatmeal Shea Butter to boot. I can't wait to load them up and break them in! Steve
I guess a fish could use a bicycle, but really one more little useless thing. Sorry guys. Signed , the curmudgeon
I guess useful for the army vets in some of the videos linked in that thread that find the repetitive, zen like motion soothing and helps with their ptsd or by the people using it to distract from habits like smoking, biting nails, or the improvement in regaining finger dexterity and co-ordination, etc It's obviously just one way of a thousand to achieve such distractions. Another is probably to write negative comments about products for no reason.
Here's an option. These little glass spray bottles come in various sizes and colors. You can buy them online or often pick them up at health food stores or vitamin stores. I like to use them with aftershaves that don't have a restrictor to keep the product from coming out too fast. Another similar option is small glass bottles sold for the purpose of bottling homemade hot sauce.
Just arrived three packages today. My after shave (upgrade) consist of all glass bottles for refilling. Far left is vintage bottle from Sur-Lay company in Kansas City - with metal cap. Both Aqua Velva and Skin Bracer came NOS. Small AV bottle came in same NOS box. I plan on refilling each bottle with corresponding fluid except for the clear bottle which is reserved for my Sharp Dress Man AS. No more plastic in my line up. All will look great next to my two bottles of Fine.
Received a couple of Wolfman "Darwin" handles in the mail - one polished and one satin - as well as a Wolfman razor stand; Here they are - satin one sporting a satin Wolfman DC head and the polished head a BBS-1 head; The stand is hands down the nicest one I've seen and hold a razor in an almost majestic way; Quick video here showing off the handle and stand a bit. I already have some Wolfman items but am constantly surprised at the quality and craftmanship - everything was absolutely perfect.
Mail Call:- today I received a RazoRock Wunderbar Slant just in time before Christmas, GOD CRIKEY the Wunderbar head has much more blade curve than the iKon X3 head. The weight and balance feels perfect in my hand. Has anybody own a RazoRock Wunderbar Slant what's the shave feels like mild or aggressive, does this razor have any issue while shaving because it has more blade curve than the X3 Slant.
