1. Received two sticks of Arko and some Gillette silver blues today. Will be receiving some Clubman vanilla and VIBR next week.

  2. Interesting.
  3. Hi all.
    I was just putting in an order for some trusty gilly yellow sharp edge. I was being very disciplined, and had promised myself that I was only buying a batch of blades. Then I spotted an offer. Oh dear.

    A large bottle ( nearly 500ml) of lucky tiger aspen aftershave.

    It was rude not to oblige.

    Can someone please tell me if it's any good. And also what in the name of shaving is, or are aspens. What do they/ it smell like. Especially mixed with Alcohol and some form of moisturising property.

  4. image.jpg Aspens. They smell like trees. :rofl: Actually I've never used it but with a name like Aspen I would assume it's a woodsy smell.
  5. I didn't even know they were trees.

    Oh dear. Anyway. If so I can do 'woodsy'.
    Ta'.
  6. Talk about fast. I ordered less than two hours ago and Stirling order has already shipped!!!

  10. Well, feeling a bit adventurous I signed up for one of these: http://rockwellrazors.com/


    Due to overwhelming demand, the estimated ship date for orders placed today is July 24, 2015. You will not be charged until your Rockwell 6S has shipped. Your Rockwell 6S will arrive with a month's supply of double-edge blades.

  12. You MAY have wanted to wait six weeks...I believe their version 2 is coming out in September and is "promised" to have improvements.

  13. Well it was ordered direct from Rockwell and they have re-worked the die casts for the heads which were problematic on the first batch so hopefully I will be lucky.
  14. I think I'm gonna check in with them next week about what all this "version 2" was/is all about.
    I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and hoping that they actually can ship a product that is not utter rubbish :)
  15. Have you tried one or know someone who has?
  16. My first safety razor and my razor sampler pack :)

  17. No, like so much else in my life I base my colorful comments on internet rumors, ramblings and reviews :)

    Update: Oh wait, I do know one guy who bought one and he was less impressed about the machining.

  18. I'm curious about the 5/6 base plate more than anything else. Read where have used the base plate with fatip and EJ 79 top plates and they like the combos. I'm curious took see how it shaves with Weber our ATT To paste. Handle looks pretty good and hefty
  19. I'm looking forward to your take on it when you get it. I do sincerely hope that they have worked out the issues that plagued a lot of the razors earlier. If that's the case I can see myself ordering one as it really is, on paper, a great value for a fully SS razor setup like that.
  20. Personna Injector II Floating Head razor.....[​IMG]

    Well there goes me not buying anymore razors for a while.....I just had to press the Buy it Now Button on this somewhat Rare and Unusual Injector....[​IMG]

    This is the Personna Floating Head Injector made by the American Safety Razor Company under its Personna brand that was released in 1972. There were two models...The Original Model the Floating Head injector came packaged with 5 Personna 74 Tungsten steel injector blades. This is the later version of this razor that was released in 1973 which came with a blue handle and was labelled as the Personna Injector II Floating Head razor and came packaged with 5 Twin Injector Blades ....[​IMG]

    This Injector gets its name from the Floating Head that adjusts by moving back and forward and maneuverers around the contours of your face like a Modern Cartridge Shaving System .....These are supposed to be great shavers and purported to be as aggressive as a Schick Type E.....

    We will soon see.....[​IMG]
