Bought myself an early birthday present. I am waiting on my birth year/quarter razor! Found a 1974 U3 Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip! Lots of U1 and U4 out there, but U3 has not been easy to find in good shape! Hopefully it will be as good as I think once I get it!
Waiting on this pretty hard to track down STAR Super Six SE razor. It's FAR from in great condition but according to the seller it's mechanically sound (the clasp was what really worried me but if that's ok I think the rest can be salvaged) Uh-oh what did I get myself into...head askew, plate loss and beaten up look in general. Can anyone say "Restoration project"?
Going on holiday soon. But I can't take my favourite soap with me as I'm bound to break the terracotta pot that I Coloniali comes in. So I've ordered this to take with me.
Is your favorite the Mango one? I absolutely love it and haven't used another soap since I got it. Incredible performance and that smoky scent is incredible
Yeah I love that smell. And the performance is great. This shaving cream is from their rhubarb products. Although I heard that they smell very similar to the mango soap.I can't wait to try some of I Coloniali 's other products to see if they are as good as the soap.
I got my order in today for two synthetic knots to finish off two brushes I am making. I also ordered RazoRock P.160. Used Fathers Day funds.
Scored a cased '58 Gillette T.V. Special Super Speed on eBay for $16.20 Pretty chuffed about that. I haven't seen one go that low in a long while. http://m.ebay.com/itm/261930363737?txnId=0
I think I lucked out because the seller didn't put "T.V." in the description. Some people want crazy prices for razors these days. "Rare" and "desirable" are two different things.
I've got an order on the way from Barrister & Mann, two bottles of their new Lavanille splash, matching scent to My Favorite Soap of All Time, and a tub of Lavender-scented Latha. Also that custom brush handle I mentioned a while back should be coming this week, though the knot for it is on a slow boat from China.
