    A new Japanese suribachi bowl for lathering. Small 4 inch. I like that it's not only small but has a thumb rest/grip too. Also seen next to my 7 inch suribachi bowl I purchased in 2012.

    Some people really like the vintage brushless creams. I avoid them myself because I like using my brushes. :D

    Saturday mail call is a vintage bottle of Canoe aftershave. Anyone have an idea when this bottle was made? There is a barcode on the bottom of the box. BC91B0AE-1F13-40FD-BF2E-B13EFDC52BB4.jpeg

    I haven't bought much of anything let alone a Gillette razor in awhile. Figured go big or go home and finally caught a white whale this time.

    Stopped by The Shave Supply in thousand oaks, california and got me a few goodies. I went for the snake bite and some fine santal. I bought a tuck of treet carbons and minora since ive never tried either.. he had a couple of testers and threw them in since they were discontinued and he no longer sells it. He is a great guy and has a bunch of soap i didnt know existed.

    Mail call today... Some NOS Gillette Lather Shave Cream. 1970s/80s. Contains peanut oil. That intrigued me, plus having never used any Gillette shaving cream before... Would it be rancid spoiled peanut scent? hahaha Nope. It's actually a nice scent.

    Congrats on the shave cream. I accidentally ran into a video you did years ago on youtube. It was the one with the cool ass razor from france.
