    My take this month has been a pack of 100 Polsilver SI blades and a RazoRock GameChanger Open Comb with the HD handle.

    RyX DoH!

    Very! Now I need to read up on that stuff. "sandpiper smells fantastic"he says. Like I need more soap and AS. ;)
    The Traveling Box is going for a THIRD round?
    There's going to be more great gear again!
    How much time do folks have to get signed up?
    PantaRei has stepped up their game adding wood elements. I like what Steve @Vlasta did with the Rubberset 400 shape. Adding that 7th groove to the extra chubby handle!
    Keep it up and some of those sets will come back together? You don't fear getting a case with damaged lining. I've seen plenty photos of your restorations!

    RyX DoH!

    I sent Joseph @Primotenore a bottle of aftershave/cologne. He counted coup on me with a box full of products!
    Trade with Joseph @Primotenore.gif The small bits are vintage blade tucks (with blades!) from Schick & Gillette, a sample of Moon Old School Tallow & Mike's Orange Cedarwood. The blonde #53 horsehair neck duster from Marvy just might convince me to try making my own brush knot. Back row on the left is Man from Mayfair by Wholly Kaw. The soap is donkey milk and tallow, together with the AS in a barbershop scent.
    Center - a tub of Meißner Tremonia lavender soap, & on the right soap and AS in Indian Flavor.
    My cabinet is over flowing with new to me software! The ground shipping was slower, but well worth the wait!

    This thing looked awful when it fell out of the envelope. As with all Gillette razors of this era, they are so well built and clean up wonderfully. The case has a few dings but the razor seems very good.
    Came with a few English G4 blue blades (1936?)

    Can't wait to use it!

    I haven't posted here in ages due to no significant purchases. Here's what I got the other day in a combined haul from Italian Barber and Bull Goose.

    St. James of London Lime-black pepper SC (note that I moved the product to a plastic container from the original glass)
    Esbjerg Grapefruit SC
    Derby shave stick
    RazoRock ECO razor
    The ECO also came with a gratis pack of 100 Crown half blades which were feeling bashful today.

    Any markings .... looks to be a boar knot.

    Feels like a boar no markings.
    The bottom looks fairly scratched up.
    May remain a mystery.
    looks cool though.
    Thanks Keith

    This week I received a package from the Italian Barber. I wanted to try the ECO razor for some fun and went all the way with the Hulk green color. I have the original Hawk and the newer design looked like an improvement, but the V1 shaved so good there was little motivation to purchase another at V2. With the 1/2 DE blade design of the ECO and the 100 included Crown blades, I said this would be a good chance to try something similar and a bit unique at a good price. I competed the order with some RazoRock merchandise that I wanted to also try for some time - Santa Maria Del Fiore Firenze shave soap and King Louis Lavender Aftershave Tonic. The Santa Maria is a soap that always appealed to me, but never bought, while the King Louis was to complement my Holy Black Lavender Creeper soap. I was hoping with the recent Holy Black drop of their secret stash I could pick up the matching Creeper but had no luck and did not even see it available, so instead of waiting forever, I decided to match it with King Louis. To round out the order I picked up a new alum block on sale and avoid shipping costs. This morning I broke in the Santa Maria and it is lovely. The scent is magnificence and it is smooth as silk. I highly recommend it. I will be using it all week to see how it performs, but initial impressions are fantastic.
