The Haul: September 2019

Two packages arrived today. My new Symmetrical Pottery bowl and a package from Andrew @Linuxguile. He sent a Schick E3, my first Schick, an assortment of blades that I haven't tried and to counter my attempt at enabling him with my Timeless Bronze, he sent along a Razorock GC Jaws for me to try out. Well played sir.

 

very cool..

 

Thanks, Gary!

 

Awesome haul! Love the bowl!

 

Thank you!

 

I recently received an order from Stirling Soap, EdT, preshave soap, and Stirling version of M-Bomb, which I'll try and compare both. Pictures to follow soon.

 

Excellent! I have 4 fill size Stirling EdTs not and s hand full of samples, they are good stuff!

Odds and ends haul.

From somewhere in New Jersey, the big bottle of Tabac AS to go with the never ending tub of soap. The RazoRock alum in a travel bubble to replace the block I dropped and shattered. That and the tuck of Feather blades from a local pharmacy who's owner is a wet shaver. He keeps Proraso soap & AS, a number RazoRock DE razors, and 6 or 8 tubs of soap & AS. The glycerin from an Indian grocery to be used as enhancement for alcohol based AS splashes.

 

Opps, I need an editor to spell check and confirm my thoughts travel from the brain, down the hands, and correctly onto the web. The pharmacy, Hobgood, is owned by Chad Hobgood. I've had conversation with him on previous visits. He keeps several brands of DE blades in stock. Today he had Gillette Silver Blue, Astra Superior Platinum, and Feather Hi Stainless. Used to have several custom brushes, but now there are a selection of Omegas. I like his style for being the only shop in town actually having current products on the shelf.
