Nice buy on the Arko sticks! I just cant like the Rapira Platinum Lux's. Tried them and just dont work for me! I still have a 100 of them here just sitting!

Silly me - forget to add -
A Gillette adjustable
A cheapy Chinese Badger brush
and a Horse hair brush from Turkey.
I think that is the lot?

Two-three fingers of Speyburn Whiskey and it felt like a swell idea to pick up a King Oscillator for $17.
I know it will require proprietary or NOS blades for the oscillating effect but that'll be a challenge at a later time

Alum Block
DR Harris Lavender Soap
TOBS Eton College Bath Soap
Proraso Pre Shave Cream
Lucia Bay Face and Body Splash Bay Rum
Lucia Bay Bay Rum Bath Bar

Obviously I had 16 hours of overtime last week

I won a PIF that was put on by@Troy M
Mystery Box. I went down to our mail box and retrieved the package All I can say is WOW. And SWMbO loves the Shaving Cream, and the A/S.
Will post pictures some time tomorrow.

Congratulations on that!

I could now be safe to say that I have an abundance , strike an over abundance of razor blades. Maybe enough to last until the 2020 Presidential Election?
(Not just from this PIF) I already had an abundance, Maybe I see a Father's Day PIF in the making.

Picked up a second gold-black Gillette Black Beauty (O2 code).
For $21 it was just to nice not to get...

After 2.5 month wait, looks my Romera Rustic Chubby 26mm Manchurian brush is on its way.

Those brushes are small pieces of art.
Grats!

How the hell can you get that for 21$?

I thought it was a pretty good price as well. It was listed at $25 but I talked them down to $21.
And no, not on ebay

Where ? Hahaha

Common sense.

Going to pull the chute on a SOC cherry handle brush and request a refund. I really wanted it too. The brush is over 3-weeks past due with no activity on the tracking number from Portugal since February 10th. I'm considering this one lost in the mail. Seller is reputable so I'm not expecting a problem. I've bought nearly a dozen items from all over the world (Israel, Portugal, England, Hong Kong, Thailand) and this is my first no show. Oh well.................

Vie-Long 12705B

I found another mail order supplier with free shipping in Canada, so had to oblige.
Trials samples of:
Al's Sapone de Barba fougure about it and Private Stock
Castle Forbes Lime
Dr Harris Marlborough

LEA Classic AS
Layrite No9 Bay Rum AS
Elvado West Indies Bay Rum shave soap
Elvado Mobay Rum aftershave balm

Im now on a self imposed spending freeze. At least until I visit the big city (Vancouver) next month and can actually purchase products in person for the first time.

Update: Rec'd an email from the seller (unsolicited) stating that my package (along with 9 other shipments he made are in the same boat) and were lost or stolen. Offered refund. Problem solved. Will leave him positive feedback

If this is your first horse hair brush I'm betting you're going to like it! I have this brush and it's very nice. A little advice, use lighter strokes, more like painting than the standard circular motion of a boar or badger brush

I agree..
