Nice suprise in the mail today from Glenn over at SMF. A hefty sample of Charles Tyrwhitt Lemon and Cedar shave cream. This was discontinued last summer. Looking forward to trying it.
Honestly. I would not call obtaining these items an acquisition disorder. They were ordered on an "as needed" basis. I needed the Proraso pre post as my jar will run out some time next week. I needed a 7th brush just in case something happens to the other six. I needed 4 more aftershaves because the 15 or so that I have now will probably be gone within 2 to 3 years. I needed 5 more shave creams and soaps as the 20 or so that I have now could dissipate to nothing within the next 48 to 60 months. I believe its a disorder when you obtain items solely for the purpose of having them. I NEED THESE ITEMS. So there you go... Now where can I find some Floid and Pitralon?
"Now where can I find some Floid and Pitralon?" Manufactum has, Italian and Spanish Floid also Swiss Pitralon. Shipping is expensive.
Got some Knize Ten, the only EDT I've really been craving, at a local store. Stuff smells like gasoline and stale beer going on, but it mellows out quickly to a very nice (and strong!) aroma.
a long time coming for my haul, but technically, I just put it on my shave rack yesterday, since I was on summer vacation and away, so here goes. Most of this new haul came from Mike, and a big belated thanks for that awesome package. Merkur HD (Chrome) (flawless w/ original packaging) a giant soft C&E super (great condition, a nice "weekend" brush) Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum (Change your religion type awesome burn,.. love it) T&H Sandalwood and 1805 MB spicy lime and QED grapefruit and peppermint (these two are terrific) lots of other goodies..... Also, I found a closeout bin on some nice little bowl/bristle/puck packages from a local Walgreens and stocked up on a few wet shave converter packages for my family. (Kept one for myself and was nicely surprised with the quality of the bristle brush and soap, though with MB soaps readily available, it wont make it into the rotation). Also, got a couple hundred derbies. Yipee!
Yup Will, that is great stuff isn't it...??? My colleague brought this stuff along directly from Italy. I've paid for both bottles 32,-€ ~ $43,-USD, I think this price is okay...
a loooong day..... Today I was going to pick up my new computer ! really happy with getting a new one. Im just not a PC person too much goes wrong with PC's I just cant handle them viruses, then this sunday I loose again 100 bookmarks in firefox while doing nothing wrong with the pc. I cant afford loosing business info and data time after time so I thought it was time to get a prof. computer for the BC company where I can really COUNT on stuff being there when I need it. I got a nice offer in the mailbox to get 300 euro back for my old computer ! which I had from 1997 ! so my old mac really needed to retire ,yes I didnt buy the G3,G4,G5 I skipped the whole OSX era so now tonight I will be like a little kid finding out the new world of Steve Jobs OSX . Anyways I forgot my old mac at home while driving off ! then had to turn round and pick it up ! then drive again off from home...then passing me on the opposite side of the road was a TNT Van I knew it was my order from Klaus Porto so I stop the car for a 2nd time and drive after the TNT van I wasnt wrong it parked infront of my house so lucky I didnt miss this drop off. While relaxing in the little town where I got the new computer about 1+ hour away from my home nice shopping center I went to the drugstore..and what catches my Eyes.. VGH DEO ! Oh YEAH ! Gotta have that..... Oh YEAH !!!!!! Sorry Cracky didnt get one for you... The only Bummer about today was I was going to close the day with a nice meal at some Thai restaurant finding it took ages to find out it was CLOSED on monday. but the website wrote its open 7 days a week , on top of that I was nearby another big City who had 2 nice Thai Restaurants which I could have asked people directions for. so a very exciting day... very hot day 28 degrees ! ended with me going home with an empty stomach.. and I still cant eat its too hot and im bummed about missing the thai food. and too excited about the new comp. - Apple Dual Core 2,66Ghz /1GB memory/250GB HD -VGH DEO Spray -Musgo Real complete Line + Bath soaps + shampoos (Klaus Porto) BC Restocking
Glad you made it through the day and congratulations on the new computer. Glad it is not me. I dread the day I have to upgrade the main business computer. There is so much stuff that has to be transported (software and files). Kills me just thinking about it. Sorry to hear about no Thai food. An empty belly is no fun. 82 degrees Fahrenheit? Wimp. I'll let you know when it gets to our 100+ days in July.
Thanks Rich , appreciate the thoughts, I hope you will forgive me for not preparing your order tonight. its 10:22 PM here and im at home since 8PM and havent even started unpacking the mac !

Bro I will do your order tommorow with a fresh mind and new energy ..but now need to play with the mac cant believe my patience ! the seller even said what are you doing in my store I would have run out of the store and boot the mac here I am at home and 2.5 hours later the computer is still in the box. serious ! the shaving AD's are fighting them other addictions........
