Don't you just love it...

Goldenboys what did you get???? We wanna see pictures!

 

I agree, but the wallet fairy was there when I order so much stuff off the Bay and other online shops.Still, someone else to send a shaving soap just for you and no one else, this looks like the shaving fairy indeed.When I go pick it, it is a very special day and it adds to the fetishism.

 

I love that experience! I know exactly where you are coming from!

 

Guys, when you talk about hiding your new goodies from SWMBO, about hiding your spent money, etc - it makes me so happy I am not married and I can spend literally half my salary for soaps and creams :happy102

 

I'm very happily married, and I hide NOTHING from Madame. She knows all what I have. (almost!)

 

Jeff is a happy, family man, I am jealous.My girlfriend smiles like no other woman on Earth everytime she sees something new.Yep, you cannot hide a single blade from her, she will know.Now if only I can make her sniff the stuff and be as happy as I am...

 

I am 57, Corinne is 33 - what more I can ask?

 

Now I am even more jealous.Let`s see, what more can you ask for...A full shipping container of Eastern European creams, that you talk about so often, and a brand new Cella crema di sapone in light colored bowl? Anyone ? :shocked031:happy013

 

Hmmmmmmmm, hmmmm - oui, perhaps.

 

I felt this way this afternoon when my new Japanese WaterStone showed up on my doorstep

 

That ratio is guaranteed to produce good lather!!

 

And don't forget the photos! Without photos it didn't happen as they say.

 

The postman is unpredictable here, I find myself checking every hour, even on the days I know they don't come

 

:happy102 :happy102 :happy102 It also depends on the soap!

 

The shaving fairy has showed up on my doorstep today. :happy108 Fantastic feeling.

 

Congrats. I know as soon as i get home I will be checking... However after my last few purchases i swear I am not going to buy anymore soaps or creams. The only thing I am going to buy are blades and that will only happen when i run out. Which wont happen for awhile when i get my 100 voskhods.

 

Uh huh... :happy102

Not that we doubt you in the least... :happy102


BTW, have you ever located any VDH in our neck of the woods, or did you order it online? I've yet to see any, here in the Toronto area.

 

Nope not yet, i have searched every store but the one Walmart in Guelph. No where else seems to have it. However more and more wet shaving gear is popping up in stores I think. The shoppers in the mall now has a whole shelf section about shaving. Then of course the blades (wilkis 10 for 15 bucks :madand carts are beside it.

I was lucky enough to have Jeff pop one in with my grab bag trade thingy . The scent is wonderful and the color is nice (not that that matters). I made some vanderwilliams but have yet to use it.

 

After closer inspection I noticed the styptic pen is missing from the box (contacted them and they said I'll get it asap and apologized). So I have to be extra careful when I shave next time.

 

Yeah, the couple of Shoppers Drug Marts near me each have one choice of Wilkinson Sword DE blades, for around $15 for a 10-pack, which is just crazy.

The Rexall chain of stores is attempting to make inroads in this area. Their stock is similar to Shoppers, with the addition of a number of Clubman and Booster A/S products.

TBBS still has the biggest selection of Clubman, Frasers, Booster products in my area (The nearest TBBS to me is the Richmond Hill one), at the best prices, although they don't carry complete lines of all the various fragrances. They also carry the Omega tubes of cream for around $6.95, which I must get around to trying at some point.
