    @wchnu, glad you liked the cream.
    The shavette is a cheap one that I figured I'd try. It did not like my face, and I don't have enough time to learn. I also have a bunch of blades for it, but I forget to send them..... Working too much it seems.
    The straight was bought in a little town in Texas called Navasota. You'd like the history of the town.
    I have not had it professionally hined, but it is sharp, just not quite shave ready.
    That rose soap looks amazing.

    Glad to hear to hear you like them.
    It will take a couple of weeks, but I'm get the blades in the mail.
    The loaners program is really working out well over across the street.

    Quikoin change holder in day-glo orange. Older men seemed always to carry these when I was a kid, so I always associated them with geezers. Well...yeah.

    So this was unexpected...I was out to breakfast with my Aunt and we always like to hit the antique shops on bathhouse row for giggles. I promptly ask the owner if she has any razors and get "No, but I get asked that a lot!". Flash forward and Lynn (aunt) asks me what I think of a bracelet. I say "It's silver" and she replies "You're useless". "Oh, like you would be impressed by a sterling Gorham Gillette". That's when the owner says "I have a Gorham shave brush." Wait...What? She pulls it out and it is actually a sterling silver travel brush (Both the cap for the case and the base of the brush have storage space in them)! Needless to say, not cheap (A little more than a big Paladin) but now it's mine!!! Actually it's on layaway until next week...

    Why do I think that South Africa will soon not have any shaving items to sell? I think Yehuda D is trying to corner the market.

    I had to pick up some Creeper from The Holy Black to other night. Unfortunately the splash was gone by the time I found out they made another batch. Nevertheless, I am pretty eager to experience the cooling effect of the soap. The scent from the porcelain container is fairly strong and pleasant
