Hiya, I finally got around to trying the Irish Moos this morning. Sheeeesh, I blame all you guys for constantly talking about the stuff......heh.. I just got the stick yesterday and tried it this morning. It performed really well, and the scent will hopefully grow on me. Heh, at least I can use this soap, unlike the Tabac. That product smells like dead things to me..... I also stopped in and looked around an antique store today, and found a tiny gem amongst the few lackluster DE razors being offered. Yeah, there happened to be a shick injector in one display case, and that one I bought. This is a NIB 'N' type, with the long gold metal/plastic handle. That was worth stopping for. Heh, the only problem is that I'll never use the thing.........it's too perfect. Yeah, I have a couple other razors in that kind of condition, and I just can't bring myself to use em...........heh. The heck is that all about? Anyway, both purchases worked out well. Martin
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Direct from Germany! 2x Rilanja-SC tubes 1x Calani-Highland Honey SS 1x Calani-Cadre Noir SS
My friend,how does these Calani shaving soaps works for you?I have seen their webpage(translated with google)and they seen really interesting.
I have no idea, mi caro amigo, I never even heard of them until today. A friend of mine in Germany bought some, and he insisted I try a couple, so he sent them to me. They both smell very nice, but I have no idea about anything else. By the end of this week, I'll begin with them.
It smells like Florena to me IMO. Honeysuckle is it? OK but I wouldnt buy it again. I have the TOM mint only and sold off the calendula. JB....feel free to chime in on your opinion of it.
Today was an unexpectedly good haul, courtesy of Bath and Body Works and some excellent sales. First, C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream (large tubes), buy one get one. So naturally I got four. I love the Rose Water Tonic stuff, but at $15 a bottle, it ain't cheap. Until today. At $3.50 each, I picked up 8 for about the cost of two bottles. Also got some Burberry cologne and a great price elsewhere.
Don't know quite yet Eric. I had to get up to a grocer yesturday afternoon, it was the same grocer where I bought the Kiss My Face some time ago. So, since forum members have advised me that Tom's of Main will no longer make their shave cream I bought up a tube, even though I have a stockpile waiting for me. I will let you know when I get to it, but that may be a while.
Thanks. Whenever you try it out, please let me know. Thank you also 1969fatboy for the response also. Have you picked up any hard to find shave creams lately to sell?
Finally some more stuff that I bought to use for my own pleasure! 2x Gada Cool Mint-SC tubes 2x Gada Original-SC tubes.

It actually looks quite good already, the pics didn't come out well. I'll clean it and try to get better pics of it...
I recently got a tube of Speick cream and a tube of Proraso Red from a very generous member here. Thanks Greg!! Just got a puck of Arlington today in trade for my TOBS avocado (that stuff just never worked for me).
Sweet score , Matt. The detailing on that old type box is cool and a valet autostrop withe the actual strop in there. Nice
No pics yet cause I'm at work... but here's what came in the mail yesterday: Penhaligon's English Fern soap Rooney 1/1 in ebony Mama Bear's rosewood New Alum block First shave with the Rooney this morning... Wonderful brush Perfect for my face lathering. Handle's not too bad, I was debating the 3/1 due to the handle difference.
