The Haul: August 13th - August 19th, 2007

Hi Jay,

Can you please do a mini review /review of the English Fern soap? I love the cologne, but the soap is pretty spendy. I'm interested in your thoughts.

Thanks!

 

now that's some SPLENDID hauls there, gents! ::

I got a lil' package from Berlin today:

- 1 bar of Nestidante Bosco Incantato soap
- 1 vintage shaving stick "lunhs rasierseife"
- 1 tub of Tabula Rasa "Dark Lavender" :drool :drool :drool

 

Today arrived:
115 Lord blades :drool

Spanish Aqua Velva AS 200ml
Spanish Williams Sport ASB 100ml

I smelled on the two Spanish things and I have to say I think I don't like the scent but I will test it. Perhaps, if I don't like them I can find somebody here who likes them

 

More info, please :drool

 

I think you found him.

 

Lunhs????? Was ist das, Klaus?? Hast du Dalli Werke Rasierseife probiert?

 

Merz Apothecary

Thanks once more to Thomas (DragonBoy) for his recommendations on Muehle Pinsel brushes.

I liked the silvertip so much, I decided to pick up the pure (best?) badger. Its awesome!



Also, I got some of their Oakmoss & Mint aloe vera soap which was reformulated in August 2006 (the other version I had which was lousy was an old batch):

This stuff is also awesome, lathers like a Champ:



And a few extras:

Olba's Oil
Mitchell's Woolfat Soap
Merkur Progress w/ plastic case
Magno Classic bath Soap (by La Toja)

 

1 QED bathtub gin shave stick

THREE shave soap refills Floris - JF
THREE shave soap refills Floris - Elite

 

Imperial "The Improved Eagle" straight razor thats going to be my first restoration razor.



Already managed to get most of the rust and pitting off via the sand paper method.

 

It's a vintage shaving soap, probably 50 years old or even older. There's not much information on the net so I practically know nothing about it. Erik from 1001Seife has a few in his shop, that's where I bought mine.
And nope, I haven't yet tried the Dalli-stick.

 

Klaus, I have a Dalli stick, and it's fantastic. The scent, the lather, and skincare are very, very good. Apparently the company got taken over by Maurer & Wirtz, who produce the Tabac line. The Dalli stick is made with olive oil, and glycerin, so right away, you're guaranteed to have excellent skin.

 

sounds good to me

 

Today I received a nice wooden bowl of Geo F. Trumpers Sandalwood shaving soap.

More info

Here is the additional info I owe you. The left one is, I think you know what it is. It is made by Sara Lee Spain. The right is the Williams Sport ASB. It has a fresh scent and good moisturizing and healing effects.

Unfortunately I don't care very much for the scent. I tried them today. So I will sell or trade them soon.

 

Thanks for the pic, buddy :happy088

One last piece of info I could use is an ingredient listing on the Balm

TIA
