Hi Friends, here my newest addition to the den. My very first Strike Gold Shave. Honest Abe. Seems they have a new Cover-Design, which I love. Stunning. Scentwise absolute fantastic. A nice, fresh scent which could be used all year round. Sunday will be the maiden voyage. Greetings Thorsten
I have IKE(from StrikeGold). That's neat about the new design, and good to know HONEST ABE can be a year-rounder. I tried IKE one day this summer-didn't feel too comfortable. It's great for the cold months.
Wow....my order from The Wet Shave Store got here Friday(second timeI got an early receipt from that company). A solid barbershop soap.
I love Stirling Soaps Haverford as well! I’ve got their shave soap, balm, spray cologne, bath soap, and conditioner bar, and wait for it… wax melt. Barbershop and sandpiper are excellent as well.
I ordered 4 sample aftershaves a long time ago. Sandpiper was one of them. I chose that one over Executive Man and Sharp Dressed Man(Mtn. Man was the other). That's how much I liked Sandpiper.
Picked this up at few weeks ago down near Cape May, NJ. (It was a wonderful week, by the way) Priced around $22, I left it sitting on the shelf. Later that afternoon I searched the Den for some reviews. What I read prompted me to go back the next day and buy it. A military discount helped a bit. I haven't used it yet. I'm going to use up some others before taking a brush to this one. I do like the scent. 63 next to a '67
Hi Friends, here my newest addition. Love all of them. Wonderful scents The soap pairs very well with the Pinaud Classic Vanilla on the first sniff. Greetings Thorsten

This is a rare era of Valet shaver because soon after in 1946 the Valete company's rebuilt factory was taken over by Communism (East Germany) to make Valet clones under the MÜHLE name and double edge models MÜHLE being a clone of Merkur. Instead of try to reestablish the brand Gillette went after getting the Gillette factory beck and buying out Braun who was making the second best shaver only going after Braun to capture the market in Germany and . Gillete had I only know this from a single line the book The Man and His wonderful Shaving Device King C Gillette by Russel Adams In 2017 when I was looking at a rebooted MÜHLE for shavers to get in double edge the brands shavers needed its own blades according to comments where people said the blades were wider than the average Gillette brand shaver or at least in the few older models rebooted were at the time made for only the brands blades but seemed to be slowly changing to the longtime Gillette industry standard for double edge shaving. The issue for Gillette after WWI blades not fitting in old MÜHLE for East Germany was the blades had to be made in 1946 onward to try and prevent people from switching to better communist countries that used the industry standard or to escape to Germany/Deutschland or to other freedom countries like Austria. I learned this from a YouTube episode guy who is from Ukraine and does explain why the blades were different in East Germany to try and keep people in East Germany due to how bad the situation was on escaping due to how East Germany was lacking in some key resources for food and some factories compared to other communist countries.
