Now you got the set! Congrats! What does it smell like?

Don't know yet. Fingers are crossed.

 

Bassnotes has info. One Reviewer of the original vintage version made by Yardley:

"An opening blast of awesome quality: bergamot, lots of beautiful, orange, a touch of lemon, and some verbena in the background: a paradigmatic chypre opening if there ever was one; crisp and refreshing a Cologne this one truly is!

The drydown develops a gorgeous lavender note, as if freshly picked in the garden, intense, very - typical. This lavender is very close in quality to my benchmark lavender, which is Old English Lavender from the same house. Clary sage, geranium and a woodsy-herbal undertone follow the traditional route in a thoroughly convincing manner.

The base adds a - slightly earthy - vetiver, and, besides a gently crisp patchouli, also employs a lovely oakmoss; but it does that very sparingly. Whilst many oakmoss-based fragrances derive their allure from the full-throttle release of its mossy-spicy sharpness in an unfettered manner, here the oakmoss is applied in a nigh-homeopathic dose like seasoning in an already rich and tasty dish."

 

Holy Mackerel - listen to this,

Two packages are heading here from South Africa!

The other one contains:

Where on Earth will I put all this jazz? Lolllll

 

That sounds delightful!

 

The question should be: When on earth will I use all this jazz.

Edit: [The stupidity of] Impulse buying has led me to have these coming in.

 

Jeff, I can hang onto it for you. You can trust me to take care of it.

 

Waiting on two new aftershaves.
Both from Prorasso.
One is the azur lime balm, and the other is the wood and spice balm.
I may consider getting the wood and spice cologne depending on how I like the balm.
Any of yall tried them before?

 

From an eBay auction: a Red Tip which is either heavily tarnished or practically encased in soap scum.

Not bad for the price you got it for.

 

Coming soon in the mail Omega 11047 "Mixed Midget" (Badger/Boar knot) and two shaving cream

 

I was surpised. I figured there would be more last-minute bidding, not just a couple of low-bid bottom feeders. (Opening bid was $0.99, I got it for $1.04 plus $5 shipping.)

I suspecxt that most of that is really old soap scum and will come off with a good soak.

 

A RazoRock Game Changer, some more Stirling soaps and AS, and a Merkur 39c.

 

Got 3 new creams in the mail today.
-Derby lemon
-Arko maximum comfort
-Nivea shave cream.
I had been wanting to try the Nice for a while since I saw Kensurfs video with it.
The Derby is a classic, and when I saw the lemon, I had to have it to accompany my Derby menthol.
The Arko, well.... It is too good to pass up.
Also, waiting on my birth year razor. It is a 1985 black beauty.
Can't wait, seeing as my birthday is in a few days, I figured it would be an early birthday present.

 

Wait is over. $88 game changer mail call

Wanted this one and luckily I was the second bidder. Five ounces of Avon Brisk Spice and way cheaper than buying a vintage bottle of it.

 

No seller pics, but this week I've purchased:
2 pucks of Lisa's Natural Herbal Creations shave soaps: gentleman's lavender, and tobacco and bay
2 aftershave bottles by Fine: Italian Citrus, and L'Orange Noir
1920's Gillette Old Type open comb base plate and cap revamped in nickel by Razor Emporium. I'll use it on my Ikon Bulldog handle.

 

Even tho I already have a MMCC in a bakelite case, I really wanted the brush. Also, the price for both was very good with free shipping. Maybe one of them will have to go, not sure because this is a different style case.
