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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
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.
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.
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.
A Hardright brush ... paid a bit more than usual, but they're harder to find. Please remember this is a before picture.
A restored french straight razor. I will post pictures when I received it. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. Greetings Thorsten Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
New brush and a travel case on the way, pics to follow when they land later. Brush generated by the fact that my cheap one shed clumps of hair yesterday, so upped the game a little on the brush front. Use my travel brush this am and it worked well though as its synthetic (assume that's why) it didn't really hold water very well leading to longer lathering while i got the mix right. Once I had that in my head all went well. I don't think I'll use Feathers in the Futur going forward though as there's not really much between Astras and Feather for in in this one, if anything I do a tad better with the Astras. I'll be on the Fatip from tomorrow though as "May" begins with blade change time for me
