So I am in Japan on business and as is my habit I trawled a few cosmetic shops looking for shave stuff. I also went to Tokyu Hands which also sells cosmetics and some shave related items too. Well to cut a long story short I purchased the following items from Tokyu Hands The brush is a nice little badger. The soap - I used the one in the tube yesterday and it was really slick although it produced next to no lather, maybe it is a true shave cream and not a cream soap? Who knows. The other soap is actually a powder and I have yet to try that one. All of the 4711 stuff I have tried and it is great. I already owned a bottle of the skin milk so this is an extra. The cologne and aftershave are super. Real barbershop scent. The blades are self explanatory. Next - from Sundrug pharmacy. I spotted these strange packs marked KAI and scooped up two packs of each on a whim. Pack 1 contained some disposable Kamisori and pack two some dainty little single blade disposables. All-metal construction too. All in all I am quite happy with my haul. One other thing I spotted was a single pack of Schick Injector blades which I did not buy as I don't have an injector razor.

It's a Haul, Sir! Some folks like to post when they have an item or an order on the way in What are you waiting on to arrive...? Since you have possession of the items I'll move the thread to Show and Tell. Next time you get some goodies post in The Haul so everyone can live vicariously through your good fortune.
In the USA, where I am, when English speaking people write "mail call!!" like that, it's really slang for "something new has appeared." Your new Japanese haul is a perfect example of what the slang term "mail call" means, it's a very happy concept.
Great haul! I've always wanted to visit Japan and it's in my bucket list. The 4711 is on my want list.
Great haul! I love the label on the 4711. I've heard of 4711 but don't know a thing about their products. Looks like I'm gonna have to do a little research!
I don't know although since I cannot get it in Hong Kong where I live then I would say "likely". if I bought online then most won't ship liquids and if they do the shipping prices are crazy. I attach a photo of the receipt from the store - in my crazy feeding frenzy I never took much notice of the exact pricing so if anyone can read Japanese...... file and image uploader
I tried one of the mini kamisori today. VERY sharp and because of the lightness have to be so careful with pressure. Almost like stroking with a feather. Only one nick so not doing so bad........ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I know the feeling. Living in South Korea when I go back to the US I go with empty suitcases and come back with them full.
Right. Kami and SE both tried. Now it is everyone else's chance. I am giving away 5 sets. 1 kami and 1 SE. First come first served. Free is good right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
