The Haul: March 9th - March 15th, 2009

Another new week of goodies.

Only thing so far today is a NOS pack of Super Blues.

 

Frasers and Ogalla bay rum.

La Pavoni Pro (rebranded zabars), Rancilio MD-50, RB tamp.

 

Here's a fun injector for I found for $5.

 

been quite some time since I picked up anything worth mentioning, this is my latest acquisition. Back when I was working I used calipers to test decal material thickness and always wanted a set of my own.Now that I no longer need them, I found these. I picked them up for 15.00, crazy thing is, they came from my old employer, not the ones I used, but these are better.

 

BroJohn from B&B sent this NOS Box of Personna blades gratis.. goes perfect with the Personna Micrometric Razor! I sent John some C&E Shaving Soaps with Shaving Bowl in return for his generosity. Thanks again John.

 

BroJohn from B&B also sent some more NOS blades along with the Personna blades gratis.. I totally dig the little PAL character.

 

I got a 4 piece Canadian Tech from Scotty in a trade, a mystery NEW, a Shavemac 585 silvertip, Gada cool mint and original, and C&E Sienna Cologne this week.

 

Those 4 piece razors are neat.. I have a German and US made one, they are both open comb.. but still neat.

 

I think because of me...there are no Aftershave Milk Sample Bottles

I picked up every Rose scented type of Aftershave milk. Hopefully if I remember Ill be posting up some reviews.

I can tell you already that some of them have some familiar scents.

Heres what I picked up and what they smell like out of the bottle...

Wild Rose = DR Harris Pink
Patchouli Rose = C&S #88
Rose Petals
Eternal Roses
Victorian Rose
Desert Rose


The above two are just in my humble opinion.....

 

I just came home to find a package containing my Minty French #66 set:biggrin: Haven't cleaned it or anythang.

 

That is incredible. The #66 is such a gorgeous razor. Congratulations! Is that the one that was advertised as a Coronation set?

 

Thanks, this a different set.

 

Nice! Just out of curiosity, does a french 66 have the same markings as a British set on the razor? Or does it have the "Importe' D'Angleterre" stamp?

 

The Pal dude is named Alko.



Bro John :mad:

 

I think the only difference is the French instructions and that is was sold in France. It has all the british pats and say made in England on it.

 

I got a chrome head Goodfella and some TOBS Eton College Aftershave from shavingessentials.net

 

Chris! Thanks for posting the picture of Alko.. neato!
I was going to surprise but alas I save the surprise.. would like a couple of the
PAL blades John sent me? When I received them I instantly thought of you.
Send me a PM with your address...

 

Scotty.. how many #66's do you own now? This French one is A M A Z I N G !!
How I do love everything FRENCH.. the food, the wine, the women..
Keep your eye out for this one is you like #66's.. it's my favorite out of my meager collection.. at least until the 1908 Every Ready Travel Set arrives.

 

Very nice - enjoy!


Oh, and @everybody: Could you plese keep an eye on the size of your pictures? Not everybody here has unlimited internet access and this page just loaded like 6 Megabytes of big pictures.... Thanks! :ashamed001

 

I actually have a display of those hollow ground carbon blades. Mine have a good coat of grease on them and no visible rust, but I have yet to work up the courage to try one. I appreciate the offer though!
