150 ml of german goodness

 

If you wouldn't mind, please feel free to drop this in the mail to me. ;-)

 

Got my SDQ soap in the mail today.......mighty fine scent I must say! Although I cannot share the scent of said soap......I can assure you I feel the scent is going to have some longevity to it.....def. seems like its a very good soap...bout to go use it...updates later!

 

Got a package from Jeff (Crackstar) in the mail today. He sent over a new tube of Proraso Green, and Mans Sport from Istanbul.

Thanks Jeff! The proraso WILL be getting used tomorrow.

 

New brush. Semogue 620

 

My biggest pleasure, buddy!

 

Well, yesterday I got a little something from Joshua Tree Soap Works.

 

Ooooh... let us know how this works out for you, Gary. I lurves me some limes.

edit: Have you used this before? Looks like the dreaded olive oil is in the ingredients list.

 

No, this is new to me, but I don't dread Olive Oil.

He can have her! She is not my type!

 

Another set of items came in this week. TSD and Sally's combined in one photo.

 

I have been trying to get one of these for a long time and now I have one.

 

They came in blue? That looks way better than the white!

 

This was some of the last ones OS produced and they are few in number and well sought after.

 

I forgot to list a pic of the vintage brush I picked up in a job lot, (with the mug pictured) the brush neeeds a reknot as always, I have since cleaned it and took the old hairs out, I will bore it out next weeh when I move house.


Ive been after a cheap ever ready brush for awhile now.

 

Here's a nice item for my collection, arriving today...

New-old-stock 1952 (X-3 date code on the blades) Gillette K34 Brushless Shaving Cream with bonus 20-blades Blue Blades dispenser. Neat box. It looks like two boxes, the bigger shaving cream box with a smaller box for the blades attached, but it's actually one box.

These are the seller's photos. They were such good photos, I didn't bother taking any of my own. Except the seller didn't have any showing the blade dispenser. But they are in there.

 

A super haul today from QCS (Queen Charlotte Soap (and shave)) of bath soaps and a shampoo bar....

Dark Vanilla Bean
White Tea Ginger
Lemon & Salt
Ginger Lime (2x)
Oriental Man
Woodland Breeze
Coconut Lime Verbena
Orange Spice (shampoo bar)

They all smell good enough to eat! But, boy, where to start?

 

This weeks haul showed up yesterday never have I melted then cooed over a piece of shaving gear so much.

This 30mm Purple goddess is just breath taking, the curves of this brush offer a look and functionality at it's best.
The weight is much more then I expected, tired my arm out a little but in a good way.
I was originally supposed to bed getting a 26mm lava handle from Oscar.
I feel so honored that he say me fit to receive this brush from his personal rotation.
This is my new go to brush for sure.

also A whipped dog poor man strop kit (extra strop not pictured)
