The Haul: April 7th - April 13th, 2008

Sorry to link to another forum, but that is what I could find right now. I thought the 1960 had the notch with the spring clip like most fatboys. Maybe that is the silver toggle... who knows. Sorry, I did not intend to hijack the thread.

And I hate to link ebay even more, but there is one on the bay as we type

 

Cool! Thanks for he info! Didn't know about the '58 Toggle... This means I'm a 195 AND a '58 Toggle down... Well, I want a 195 more... I'll even throw in my F4 Toggle in a Trade

Another day that hasn't been useless since I learned something new!

 

2 mug refills of Truefitt & Hill Luxury Shaving Soap. I have never used this soap and heard so many great things about it. I decided to order the mug size refill first, to see if I like it. If so, I'll order the wooden bowl because I definitely need another wooden bowl in my shave closet.

 

My Toggle is a D1, which would make it a `58..

 

Want to swap it with a grimey D4? It has a red dot!

 

Picked up a big bottle of 4711 EDC last night locally at TJ Maxx. Great stuff! It's supposed to be an edc but it works great as an aftershave. No glycerin though, for you folks that need it.

Also got my Harris Almond in wooden bowl I picked up here in the bst. Strangest almond scent I've come across, haven't shaved w/it yet though, maybe it'll changes once it's lathered up.

Also got some eshave aftershave balm, 4oz tubs (why do they put them in tubs?), white tea and cucumber.

The white tea is excellent, the cucumber will be going onto the bst though. Good scent, just not for me.

 

I am a huge fan of The Black Crowes and have seen around 50 live shows - give or take a few. I collect all kinds of things Crowes related....drum sticks I get at shows, guitar pics, autographs and whatnot. I might add that my wife tolerates this and the shaving obsessions with extreme tolerance. I have 7-8 framed posters at my office but I scored this beauty directly from the artist - Richard Biffle. This one was number one on my hit list along with the Halloween '05 which as of now still remains on said list. I spoke with him on the phone and asked if there were ANY available that he knew of. His friend owns a gallery and he had given him one of the very earliest he made. These are all hand pulled silk screened and extremely rare. I asked if he could possible sign the litho for me which he did in gold ink. I picked this up from the framer's shop today...my wife is gonna freak as it's right above the PC!

The Thayers I picked up from Whole Foods, the Pashana from ClassicShaving. The Eau de Portugal has a nice citrusy scent as opposed to the Pashana Original which has a stronger, patchouli scent. I think the Eau de Portugal will go nicely with the warmer weather.

 

I think the AXE has my name on it Boubi... happy102

Thanks Jeff ! I mean it your not just buying products your actually supporting the site aswell its a win-win situation a real " FEEL GOOD" buy

 

The site has been good to me, Boubi, so I'm just returning the love!

 

Great hauls fellas,

That poster looks sweet s~s

 

Judging from your screen name I would've thought you were a Warren Haynes fan !

SOULSHINE

 

Try the Pinaud Eau de Portugal Hair Tonic if you get a chance.

 

Damn - that is one great song, it is absolutely one of my all time favs! Yeah - the Warren Haynes/Gov't Mule tune is where I took my screen name from years ago. I found it hard to make live bootleg trades with my true name back in '96 or '97 when I began but found great results with the name "Soulshine". It stuck and I still use it today. If traveling to a Crowes or Mule gig throughout the midwest most people actually now come up to me and use my board name even though they know my real name.

Got few goodies in. Let's see...

Nice upscale haul there Mike and the Progress is my GOTO razor. It's a little quirky on the number adjustment but you get used to it.

After 4 maybe 5? weeks of nothing, I will have something next week. I will say it's from Lee's Razors.

 

Got my first handmade straight razor -- a Joe Chandler in damascus.

That's all I'm gonnaa say - no pictures yet either. I will post more after I've had some time with it (heh heh). :transport035
