The Haul: April 14th - April 20th 2008

So, what did you get, folks? Post away! :eatdrink047

I wanna see :signs154


I'm gonna start the week with a Joseph Rodgers & Sons straight with clear horn scales:

 

Hookah Supplies:

Tangiers shisha:
Kashmir Peach and Horchata

Nammor hose (purple)
small phunnel bowl
mya Tongs
Coco coals

 

Meaning in English? :happy102

 

HOOKAH!!!!!!!

 

picked up 2 boxes of 4711 bath soaps.

Great scent, but only decent performance so far. Primarily palm based (though cocoa is right behind it), they'll last long but are brittle, and not quite as moisturizing as I'm used to. First one split in half when it fell in the shower. Will make a good summer soap, but not moisturizing enough for winter.

 

Klaus, yupp, shisha means Hookah in Arabic. The Syrians and Lebanese also call it a Narghile.

 

Klaus, great looking straight, bud! And thanks for getting us started this week!!

 

gorgeous, Klaus!

 

Finally!

From Lee's Razors - Outstanding service as always.

Merkur 11C Open Comb Double Edged Safety Razor Chrome
Merkur 39C Slant Bar HD* Long Handled Doubled Edged Safety Razor Chrome (Barber Pole)

 

Nice haul Rich! Now we will observe a moment of silence...........that your dry spell is over!

 

Wow,

Great hauls guys!!....Beautiful straight Klaus

Rick, very nice Hookah, is that stuff you hook up to your pipes?


From the TSD Store and Coates Group Buy, Thanks JoAnna!!

2 - Tubs of Coates Almond Cream
3 - Samples of Various Rose Soaps drool:drool

The Coates cream is very dense, I may re-hydrate one of the tubs as I tend to like it a bit on the soft side as it lathers better for me.

Thanks!

 

aaaahhhh, now I know what rick was talking about! I'd love to have one but would never be allowed such a thing in my house. Ah well, can't have everything

Thanks for your lovely comments about the straight, guys, she sure is a beaut and for the 15$ or so I paid for it it was a steal

Congrats on scoring some Coates, Padron! :drool

woo hoo! My order of T&H came in last night.

FIVE tubs of T&H;

Grafton
Trafalgar
1805
Almond
West Indian Limes

I'd only tried 1805 before, the rest were all new to me. Shaved w/the WIL this morning. Definitely a "sherbert" lime scent w/some great undertones. Finished w/some Lime skin food and Boosters Iced Lime as, great shave.

 

Ahhhh...the weather hit 72 in Milwaukee today. I made my sales call with the windows rolled down and the Black Crowes cranked on the way home. I knew this was on its way and was very surprised it arrived in only two days.



The violet and peony are backups to what I currently have in the cabinet. The new Shave Den soaps include:

Mocha - A wonderful blend of coffee and chocolate. I do not actually drink coffee but this scent is outstanding! My daughter and wife drink this all the time, it is like visiting you local coffee shop.

Jasmine/Orange - I cannot take actual credit for this. I noticed some cheap body wash at Target that had an orange/floral scent. The stuff at Target = horrible...this soap = great! Very light floral for the gents who are not into a straight ahead flower scented soap. Not overly sweet by any means.

Chocolate/peppermint - Admit it gents, we have all smelled a shave product and instantly thought, "Wonder how this would taste?" I am guilty... Think about Andes candies or York peppermint patties and it is exactly how this soap smells.

Joanna was kind enough to include some Astra blades I wanted to try and a sample of bay rum/bergamot aftershave - it smells REALLY GOOD!!

Thank you Joanna!!!!!

 

Simpsons Chubby 1 Best Badger (Thanks Lee!!)
T&H Rose shave cream
Coral Skin Food 200ml
Trumpers Pomade (Rose scented)

 

TSD+Londonshop order... life is good

I was shopping some things for Mothersday which is somewhere in May or so, then I added some things for myself and thought to get some shave sticks for my travels in Japan in october I cant have that many different creams with me so the TSD Shave sticks I thought are a blessing till I had them in my hands !
My god these are GIANT Sticks ! I need a bigger suitcase !

Joanna was kind enough to pack the box, ok I have seen my share of prof. shipping styles but this was too much to handle as you will see on the photos I had no idea what was awaiting, She went above and beyond her duty I couldnt believe my eyes the stuff she got in there If I had to do it Id need a bigger box how the @#@# did she do it ?

She made sure that if anything would break open it would NOT destroy the other items, the way you ship items to your customers tell alot about how you run your business too not something to be taken lightly !

I have no words ! :signs107
and now where to even begin I still have to shave so im ready for wednesday since I start early at 7am I dont fancy shaving at 6am....

Anyways the Towels are great for wiping the Str8 razor I was always using toilet paper and that doesnt add to the whole wetshaving Zen thing a Towel is way cooler I think im ready for 2008 SUMMER ! are you ? if not you know where to find the TSD store....

Wow, Rene, outstanding! Any money left in your bank account after these hauls?

 

Check out this nice, BITTER-COLD aftershave I bought yesterday. It's called Alcolado Glacial, and it's a face-freezing, air-conditioner in a bottle. It's made in Barbados!
