The Haul: March 2013

Sorry about the tardiness ladies and gents, I got tossed on an exercise so I'm creating this thread from a freezin' Army tent somewere in Alberta LOL.

So what's new in your den?

 

I just got a package in today!

 

New to me B-3 Super Speed. Its all cleaned up, and ready to go.
Just have to get though my daily forum reads

 

all in one day lol mikes natural soap orange cedar wood and pepper, 8 samples of mikes soap. 50 feather blades Palmolive cream and shave stick. And one omega boar brush

 

Got this: http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/thanks-mr-ms-fedex.32197/#post-562900 on March 1st. Expecting a bottle of SCS Bulgarian Lavender AS today or tomorrow. Oh and regularly getting wedding related stuff for April 7th.

 

On day one of March a package containing this was delivered:

a mint Merkur 37C accompanied with a package of Derby blades.
I like the Slant, the Derby blades ar doing better in this razor then in any other I've tried them in.

 

I went to the antique stores this afternoon with my girls. I found this injector in its bakalite case! I have been wanting one of the blue handled silver ones for a while. it looks a bit filthy because I haven't cleaned it up yet.

 

Nice injector

 

Finally the slow boat from Turkey came in with a Turkish #6 brush and Rapiras, Polsilvers and Supermax blades. While I was out at Target picking p the two Axe products here, another package arrived with the chick injector blades and some Crystals I threw in because I was paying P&H anyway.

What a day, can't wait to see how good a $2.50 brush is.

 

Thanks! Unfortunately they left a blade in it and it rusted in. I can't wait to get it cleaned up!

 

Picked up this cool looking Pen holder off Etsy from a vendor named acousticallyblue. Using it as a sweet razor holder for my desk. Here it is with some of my favorites in it:
Also picked up this badger-horse mix Vie-Long:

The Vie-Long is pretty nice, still getting used to it, letting it rest a day between uses so it can thoroughly dry out.

 

I thought I should mention this (sorry if it is not the right place)... When I was at the antique stores today, I found an Ever Ready Lather Catcher (metal handle) at Rocky Mountain Antiques. I didn't get it but I thought I would mention it if one of you Edmontonians wanted it. It would make a great haul for someone!

 

I just got my Fat Boy back from The Razor Emporium. It has been re-plated with rhodium. I am very pleased with the result. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Cheers, Lyndon

 

And another package!

a black tipped Super Speed X2





with a Stetson Blue

Very curious shaving with this one!

 

Here are some photos of razors and brushes I've gotten in this month and restored. There are a few others and I got an order from BarclayCrocker of TOBS and misc. aftershave and cologne scent samples.

 

I got these 1000 packs of silver blues on the 2nd and the rose water shave cream carts and shavette today I thought I'd try out a shavette and this was less then five dollars so I ordered two

 

Got a schick injector E, an E2 I think. I'll post some pics after I get it cleaned up.

 

Did a trade with Ryan and received 2 tubs of TSD lanolin shave soap. Irish Spring type and English Fern and they smell great.

 

I got a refill puck of MWF and another Palmolive Stick from Williams Warrior in return.

 

Great score today:

Mailbox had Mike's Natural Pine and Cedarwood & Peppermint and Rosemary & a sample of Lavandin and Eucalyptus...

And at the grocery store picked up a bottle of Aqua Velva Ice Sport & Axe Chilled face wash (decided to check out the menthol revolution) and a bottle of Florida Water.

All after getting home from the rodeo tonight, it's been a good day
