Tried the Pearl Blaze razor today. Very nice all brass tool. I was curious about it so I checked a few vendors and noticed it comes with some little plastic washers when you buy it new but I couldn't find out what they were for and this one didn't come with any. Fortunately @poppi was able to answer the mystery. Apparently they are provided in case the head doesn't fit perfectly. It's a very attractive and substantial razor with nice balance and a good grip. I was in a bit of a hurry though this morning so I want to give it another go before deciding if I want to keep it. Tried the Avon Mesmerize Black shower gel which I'll probably keep and the same for the Chiseled Face Santa Paula A/S. I have the matching Santa Paula soap and like the scent.
I received the pearl in the last TSD raffle ......... I thought it was a beautiful razor, just wasn't the razor for me. I'm like that with razors ...... either we're best friend or its out the door.
Gave the Pearl Blaze another run today. I think I'm going to hang onto this one for awhile. Finished up with the Crabtree & Evelyn Moroccan Myrrh A/S balm. I will be keeping this one for sure. Having a busy week and the coming weekend looks the same but my plan is to have my gives and takes figured out and get the box back on the road.
................ So John how'd those stick on nails work out for you?? Did you try them out after your pedicure?
Well, so much for my plan to get the box back on the road this past weekend. Too much going on plus a couple of unexpected things popped up so I need to get on the stick this week and get the box moving again. I shaved with the Pearl Blaze again yesterday morning using a fresh Treet carbon blade for a smooth and satisfying result.
I am bowing out for right now. I have some things going on and need to spend my money in other places. Sorry.
@John Beeman you will need to send the box to @Frijolero @jaro thank you for giving us the heads up. Your welcome back when you are ready.
Unfortunate that @jaro isn’t able to enjoy the box but it worked out that I was behind on mailing it out. I sent a PM to @Frijolero
Like I said in the PM, I had thought about it and when it was delayed that just confirmed it was the right thing for me to do at this time... Enjoy everyone..
Man, I always end up putting more in than I need to take out, which is totally not the point of the Box.
I might be able to sign back up before the current pass around is done if thats possible but I just don't know yet....
Just replied. Guess that depends on whether any of us can manage to get the box back on its way in a week. I think the odds are in your favor.
Packed the box tonight and I hope to drop it at a post office tomorrow. Took pictures of gives and takes that I will try to post tomorrow. Sorry for keeping it longer than seven days but I have too much on my plate at the moment.
