That's the beauty of The Box; encountering products you might not know you like. Murray & Lanman products are available! Amazon where prices + shipping vary, and Walgreens either stocks or can ship-to-store for free. Have you tried Florida Water?
I'm really glad you're enjoying the scuttle and decided to keep it. While I enjoy the looks of it; I'm more of a bowl latherer, and I just don't want to hold on to things as decorations. Shave on good sir!
No, I cannot say as I have. It's on the list to track down! I debated on keeping or passing, I was on the fence, but I just can't turn it down. Thanks for letting her go, it will work for just what I need.
Only if you pair them with a matching shaving soap or aftershave.. EG Springerlies (anise cookies) and Sterling black ice
I found this tin in the box, figured I'd have a look and see. Well, I'm happy I opened it! When I travel for my job, I drive. So, this is the answer to a problem that I just couldn't solve. Now, I have a travel setup and I'm happy with it! I used the brush before just to make sure it worked well, and it did, so they only left razor part to try. I also wanted to test the Dorco blade. I gave both the razor and blade a workout this morning, and to my surprise I got a fine DFS shave. More than acceptable for work and would be upperclass shave for a meeting. Obviously, I won't be using the scuttle for travel, but since it now resides in my shave den, no reason not to use it. ( Like I really needed an excuse) All in all the setup did just fine and I now have my travel setup!!!! This traveling box has been a great time and fun! I appreciate y'all letting me play along, and I'll be doing a video on Wednesday to show all the items I am taking out, and what is going in, I'll also link it in this thread when it's done. Y'all go out and enjoy your day! Mine will be stressful and long, but at least I got a good shave!
That brush was made from a piece of driftwood found in Canada by thecopperhat. I got it as a prize some years ago here on TSD. The handle shape is his rendition of . the beehive shape. The original knot was horse hair that became ridiculously tangled the first time I tried to use it. I replaced the horse knot with a badger knot from TGN.
Well, today was my last day to use the things from the box. I decided to sample the Cella. I've never used it, and figured why not? It performs just like any other soap, in that with a good stiff brush it can be face lathered or in a bowl. I opted for face this time. I don't mind the scent, but my nose doesn't smell alot of things. A small size chunck of the soap and it only took a few minutes if face lathering before a wonderful yogurt like lather appeared! I won't be keeping the Cella, but did want to sample it at least. I also opted to try the Treet DE blades. Since they make one of if not the best SE blades in the market, I figured that the DE would be the same. It's not bad, at least for the 1st shave. I will have more to say about it after a couple more get done. It is VERY smooth, and just below an Astra Green, at least for me. No photo this morning, having technical difficulties. Tune in tomorrow as I finish my week with the box, and show the stuff I'm keeping, and what I'm adding. Hope y'all have a good day, and shave on!
@RyX Awesome! Not often that one gets to know that much about where the brush is from. Thanks for letting me know. Funny how it came all the way to Texas now.
Thank You for digging that post up! Many times I have gone searching for threads and come up empty handed.
Alright, Tomorrow is the big day, the coupedat as it were. I will have a video with the items that I have taken out, and the items that are going in. I'd be remiss if I didn't say thank you all for letting me play along with this travel Box 2019. It's been a great experience and one that I have very much enjoyed! Things I have learned. 1. If it says "Monkey Farts" dontd do a sniff test. 2. I should have had a scuttle LONG ago! 3. I really like boar brushes, in fact, I like cheap boar brushes. I would have multiples of the same cheap boar brushes if I could! 4. Sometimes the hype around a product is justified. 5. Bowl lathering ain't all that bad (don't tell Fuzzy) 6. I have WAY to many SE razors, but I plan on getting more. 7. Most DE blades average out about the same. Some less some more sharp, but on average, not much difference that I can tell. 8. I really wish I knew how to restore brushes 9. The tech style heads are just about the perfect balance for 80% of my shave needs. 10. I see alot more purchases in the coming months before the little guy gets here, then I gotta start stocking up for him! Thanks again guys. I have had a blast, and I hope I have kept y'all entertained with my reports! Shave on!
Sounds like you were right on time for The Box. Any earlier and there were things you might not have appreciated as much. Glad you got to have the visit!
Well guys, last shave with "the box'' thank you for letting me play along. I will get the box out in the morning to the next member. Hope y'all enjoy this video of the shave. I'll have another one this evening for what I have taken out, and items I have put in. Have a great day!
