I beleive so the only pre Shaves I have is this and Proraso Red Pre-Post . The cube is also a lather booster! I use it on non-menthol soaps cause I’m not really a menthol head
Next time you visit bring him lunch! And some folding money. I've been watching for a paint can full of old razors for a couple of years. Still looking!
Much of my gear is second hand and picked up in trades or thrift stores. I tried a sample of Mitchell's Wool Fat soap a couple years ago & chose to get the dish to keep it in. And some other soaps I hadn't tried yet. The LaToja & Speick are well spoken of. I've tried another scent of Wickham's 1912 but the Russian Leather really sounded good. Restocked on the ARKO so I'll have a stick to pass to Newbie. This was my first 100 blade purchase - the Astra SP's. To get free shipping I added the 50 GSB's. Think I'm ready for a NoBuy!
Nice haul! I have a bunch of goodies sitting on the porch right now. Hopefully they're still there when I get home.
The La Toja shave stick is an awesome little stick and the Wickham Russian Leather smells and performs awesomely.
Found this at my local dollar store, I was looking for a Nivea post shave balm but found this instead =]
When I have incoming parcels I hover near the front porch. Too many people walking by too close to unguarded goodies. Stirling offers a good deal on their fat shave soap samples. It's not a tiny tub. You get a slice of a puck, maybe 1/4 or 5/16" thick. Have an Old Spice mug ready!
Everything was waiting safe and sound. Knock on wood I've never had anything taken but still worry because it seems a common occurrence.
Those old lather catchers are sure pleasant to look at with all the script and art deco. I hope it shaves well for you.
A couple of days ago I got 50 Nacet, 50 GSB, 100 Shark Super Stainless, 100 Voskhod and 200 Supermax Super Stainless blades. Today my oldest daughter got me a Semogue 830 brush for my upcoming birthday. It's been a good week but I'm starting to get a schick-load of Schick razors to start buying blades for.
I was thinking maybe a little toy tractor and folding money. He has a couple of shelves of old tractors and equipment and I've got a couple of duplicates so maybe a trade may be in order.
From Stirling an assortment of bath soaps for Mrs. jluc. Baker Street and Pumpkin Spice shave soaps and aftershaves for me. From Barrister and Mann I got Clusterfig and Lavanille soaps and aftershaves. From Italian Barber a Gamechanger .84 Jaws to replace the one I'm sending back to an expert enabler.
