Picked up a Gillette Monobloc for $28. Probably because it was advertised just as a rocket. Will be fun to get it next week or so and see how it cleans up. It's still June!
This will likely be my last purchase for a while, but I have a Simpsons Commodore X3 Best Badger, Fine Platinum, Fine Fresh Vetiver, Wholly Kaw Fougere Bouquet AS, Tiki Cabernet Neroli SS, and a tube of Arko Cool SC on the way from Maggards. In a separate order, I have a bottle of the Veg coming. I am going to see if I have been chosen or not.
Thanks - never had a monobloc before - looking forward to cleaning it up and checking out how it performs.
I'm "waiting on" me to decide on this razor or not... If you know what it is you also know they tend to be a bit expensive which is what is making me hesitate....
Mail Call - The Wolfman heads are now back home! I just received the Wolfman heads back today from James after sending them out for a mod. Glad they are here and can't wait to try one out! Also got a tub of the RazoRock Sensitive skin - "Neroli" in today too!
Just did my SOTD a bit earlier and I have to say I didn't notice anything different. I don't know if the new blade wasn't a good one or not but I used only the OC side of the Dual Comb one with a new Platinum Lux blade so I am not sure! It still feels super smooth and efficient like I remember but didn't seem more aggressive to me! I will try an Astra SP or GSB tomorrow and see if that makes any difference!
The prices for the late Cooncat Bob's stuff is at profiteering level now...but I doubt the value will fall as time goes on.
Yeah it's priced maybe 25% higher than I'd feel comfortable paying - and get my money back in worst case. I have that annoying 'rule' to not pay more for an item than I think I would be able to get for it if I turned around and sold it. It would be nice to have a piece made by a legend though.
