Congrats on all hauls,guys. :: Yesterday arrived a lovely scuttle from www. schwazweisskeramik.de :drool
unexpected yesterday when I arrived from work I found a swedish package on the stairs. I didnt expect anything so to my surprise I found these goodies there. I dont know what brand or where the stick comes from, the Shavallo shave soap is a vintage soap forget about finding them most RARE. Tack Sa Mycket to a fine Gentleman ,
A friend of mine made the pilgramage to Pasteur's Pharmacy in NYC, and picked up a couple of items for me. D.R. Harris Pink and Coates Original Almond cream (unsure if this is the original or new formulation).
Ive heard it really didnt matter if its old or new formula..that they were both good creations that exist no more.
sorry, 'bout that Isaac--my friend and I always talk to each other in German. I told him it's a great soap, full of style and class, and to have fun using it.
Nice Haul Rick, I got a 1 pound basket for roasting coffee on my BBQ via the rotiserie, it worked well although I need to buy a new temp gauge that goes to 550+ degrees or so, as I took it a little to dark, it was only a 1/4 pound but worked well. Will be placing an order at Sweet Maria's soon, what types of coffee did you order Rick? Also scored a bench hone from Handamerica, and some magnetic backed pieces of leather and films for honing and stroping.
Saturday 12C Classic HD* Long Handled Open Comb Double Edged Safety Razor Chrome (Barber Pole) Will bring this razor to work and try it out next week. Sample of D R Harris Marlborough Shave Cream
Pretty nice haul today... Crabtree & Evelyn Best Badger brush (yay! I finally got one!) Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood soap refill perfect coffee/shave mug from World Market. I couldn't have gotten one any better. That new C&E soap fits right snug in the bottom!!
This week I got; From trades/forum purchases 1 Merkur HD (to replace my Merkur Classic) 1 tub Vulfix Sandalwood 1/2 tub Vulfix lavender 1 tub eshave citrus From local purchases 1 bottle Masters Musk aftershave 1 bottle Masters Bay Rum aftershave (at the recommendation of quite a few members) 1 bottle black opal razor bump recovery complex (been looking for this for a while) and finally, after 3 months of waiting..... 1 SIMPSON MAJOR TRAVEL BRUSH IN SUPER - I recently bought one of these and it ended up being a major shedder. First just a few hairs a shave, then 5-10, then 15-20 and I decided to quit using it. Contacted Simpson, and other than having to wait 3 weeks, they took care of me and sent me another one free of charge. Excellent excellent excellent service from Simpson, didn't even have to send the old one back or provide a proof of purchase. I couldn't be happier.
Padron: Sorry the pix werent better this was my latest order: Kenya AA Nyeri - Karatina Kenya Thika - Gethumbwini Peaberry Ethiopia Kochere District Yirgacheffe I have to admit I allow the vendors to choose my beans for me. I look for ratings in the upper "80's" and above and choose those. Have not yet been disappointed
So, what made you look for the Black Opal Razor Bump Recovery Complex? Congrats on getting your Simpson straightened out.
Thanks Rick, actually I took a harder look after I posted and could make out the labels , Looks like some Great choices, I will need to try those out as well. Thanks
I'm being bombarded! I have another package on the way, but I have no idea what's in it. All I know is, it's from Europe! I think since the beginning of the year, I've taken in about 100 new items!
