The Haul: October 2018

I always wondered what "Anchor Hocking" meant. As a kid, I recall ads talkinabout "Anchor Hocking Cut Glassware".

 

My local WM lists them as sold out, so Big Lots might be all that's left.

 

A very old American consumer glassware company, possibly best known for their classic Fire King line that ran for several decades from the '30s onward.

 

Enrico, there were a few in my location and I really need only one more. Let me know if you can't find any at yours.

 

And one of the sponsors of the radio version of Casey, Crime Photographer.

 

very cool, a seaforth mug is on my list ...

 

very cool,enjoy..shiny....

 

I guess I should act fast, just to be safe. Thanks for the plug, Perry....I suppose a man cannot have too much access to a barbershop fragrance product.

 

Three 27mm boar knots arrived today...................

Very Nice!
I'll see how it shaves in the morning.

Today I received the Starling V2 base plates and decided to fill the cart for free shipping with some shampoos, deodorants, and a replacement to one of my favorite shaving products - The Mentholated CUBE! I order the dish for fun this time, but I must say that this is one of the best performing items in my den and adds a good dose of menthol to every shave. For the most part, I don't need a preshave for slickness, but it works great and gives a bit of cool to every shave without distorting the scent of the main soap. They also last forever. I highly recommend the CUBE. I hope the new Starling OC Emerald base plate works as well. The shampoo pucks also are very noteworthy, providing outstanding lathers and good scent strength. I like to use them to try scents of soaps and aftershaves I'm interested in. All three smell great from the puck and I can't wait to use them.

Thanks for the Cube review, Steve. I've had a bar of Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap that has lasted over a year. It is slivering down pretty well at this point and I'd like another mentholated pre-shave product. I've been thinking about the Cube and may just get one.

 

+1 to @Smooth Steve. I enjoy occasional use of Proraso Preshave (Green - menthol) but your review of The Cube has me intrigued. The Glow in the dark Cube even more so...

 

I found this Schick G5 on eBay and jumped on it. It arrived today, and I cleaned it up. It is going to be a good one I think.

After the cleanup. All I did was spray it was Kaboom and then clean it with a toothbrush. It cleaned up very nicely

 

Terrific catch, Jim! Those are great razors. Typical G series performance with the cool retro factor of that handle.

 

An English Leather gift set for $5 today.



I don't need four more ounces of English Leather but I don't have any talc so that plus the box plus the cheap price...

 

My brother-in-law was President of Anchor Hocking for a while. Probably back in the '90s.

 

I’ll be anxious to see what you put them in.

 

Here's one so far..........

Great looking brush! Hope it works out well for you after it gets broken in.
