The Haul: October 2013

Why didn't you haggle? You could have got him down to $1.50

 

If I may, all adjustables.

 

I thought about it, but I guess my conscious wouldn't allow it. I'm in sales, and I get beat up daily in regards to pricing but I am an easy sale. (I do enough haggling on the job)

Thanks for the clarification. I did not know that, but it makes sense.

 

Yeah, I don't blame you, I don't generally haggle either. I don't enjoy it like some people do, and the time spent doing it isn't generally worth it to me.

 

Please open first the doors by all of your razors and than adjust it. Otherwise you will damage the mechanism.

Very nice found. Congratulations.

 

Thanks ChiefShaver, I appreciate your advice and complement.

 

Hi Friends,

it´s me again... Today i received 2 packages of very fine stuff.

Geoffrey Beene-Grey Flannel EdT


...here the bottle. Oh...what a smell that comes out of the bottle...Hmmmm...


This was in the 2nd package: Hope you can see what it is...


The Sandalwood Smoke smells really wonderful. There are 3 Aftershave-tester from "The Fine American Blend"...in Italian Citrus,Fresh Vetiver and Barbershop. The Fresh Vetiver is amazing!!! The other one is the "Gunpowder Spice".

Now it has turned into a good day....

Take care and have a great time.
Thorsten

 

Nice, Thorsten! ​

I have been a big fan of Grey Flannel for some time. What is even better is my wife really likes it, too (she is the one who bought me a bottle of GF years ago).​

 

Thank you Kevin.

I really like the scent...a really fresh,floral scent to me. Not like an "old man" as i read in some descriptions...first i thought to cancel the order just because of those descriptions...now i´m glad i didn´t do it. Tomorrow i will see my girlfriend...curious to hear what she will say... but i think she will like it. And if not...

Greetings
Thorsten

 

An offer from a portuguese friend (Barbear Clássico Portuguese Forum)

 

Nice!!! Have fun with it.

 

Where did you get soap and AS samples? I love the Fine AB really wanting to try the Vetiver.

 

Two italianos that arrived yesterday:

It's not shaving related...but perfect for an accountants office!

 

I picked up some more brushes to try. A selection of relatively inexpensive boars ands badgers for comparison sake.
I am beginning to have a real preference for the boar brushes, but it is fun to compare & contrast a variety in the mornings.

 

This haul brought to me iKon Slant,and Mergress XL,I'm very happy :wave:

 

@Weeper Warrior (Jacob): I got the samples (shaving soap and Aftershaves) from a friendly member in our german forum.He sent it to me because i wanted to test those products. Maybe i will try a soap sample on my sunday shave... The Sandalwood smoke smells amazing...The Holy Black seems to create very good stuff,or?!

I stopped by 2 antique malls in TN today, and found a few deals:

 

Hi Friends,

I just ordered 2 Soaps from "Stirling Soaps" (Ozark Mountain & Coniferous) and 1 "Barrister & Man" (Nocturne) + Sample pack...

Now i'm so curious about these soaps...hope to read more reviews.

Can't wait...

Greetings
