The Haul: June 29th - July 5th, 2009

Happy Independence Day to all our friends in the USA! It's definitely summer time! So hot in the South! Time for that menthol stuff, folks! Post up the goodies, and thanks for the great pics.

 

I look forward to layering these two with the EDT.

 

The TSD shavestick

This shavestick arrived this morning.I wasnt gonna shave after my "bloody sunday" with the Kent/MWF but this beauty made me change my mind.I only hope that JoAnna could find a better deal with the soap stick containers and make these shavesticks again.As I have said in other thread the Iced SubZero smells great.GRACIAS!

BAD is starting to subside,,,,, but symptoms have not completely gone away, I feel a setback in my recovery is ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, probable

 

Those are really beautiful brushes!!!

 

Today's haul is a real treat.

First, a 1973 Stick Schick Injector... and yes, that is designed by Schick to look like a stick shift.


I also got my order from Grandpa's.

 

wow Corey that Schick has a neat design man!Never seen one like that before

 

Where'd you pick up the Schick injector, Corey?

 

If I'm reading what little I've found on it, it was only produced in 1973 as a promotional type item. I actually randomly stumbled across the ad online and found three on eBay (and ended up with 2 of them through dumb luck).

Here's the ad that got me hot on the trail:

 

eBay, of all places, and at an excellent price. There were three ending at roughly the same time, and with my luck, they were ending while I was at work. I did a lowball bid on two of them and a decent bid on the third. Surprisingly, I won two of the three, and the decent bid wasn't among them. I shaved with it tonight and it's a really excellent little razor. It's light, but incredibly smooth.

 

Yeah,Definitely I learn something new each day.

 

Nice haul! You said it was light so is the gear head made of plastic?

 

Yes, the gear knob and the handle are made of plastic. The gear knob looks a lot bigger in pictures than it does in real life. It's a little bit lighter than an aluminum Tech, with a longer handle. In spite of the light weight (or perhaps because of it), it's got excellent balance to it.

 

you'll love the Grandpa's, Corey...

Had a great haul of a week myself but can't get the pic uploaded on my other computer and can't find the software to set it up on this one. Anyway:

Some more KMF creams

a book on soap making
Leisureguy's Book on shaving (Thanks Phil-gunner777)
one more VDH brush for my travel bag
and a pile of home made soaps from friends and sellers in the town I was vacationing at.
