    My order from Bull Goose arrived today. I got a tube of Palmolive Menthol (my favorite) and another 100 Personna Labs. I have about 75 left, but thought "Why not buy another 100?"

    Also, my good buddy Scott sent me a ton of AS samples from WM Nuemann. Thanks Scott! They smell great and have no idea which one I'll try first.

    My blue Old Spice Mug and Brush got here today. Mug better than advertised. The mug will hold a LARGE puck!

    Yesterday I got my Mike's Barbershop stick. I bought that as a replacement for my "lost" Barbershop stick. I found the old one right after I ordered the new one (figures.)

    You were going to buy another anyway. You cannever have too much Mike BBShop!

    Here are my antique store finds for the day. The Slim is K-1 and cleaned up very nicely. The plating on these Slims was very well done. Everyone that I have cleaned comes out awesome looking. And since the L types are my favorite shaving injectors I bought this shiny specimen for a pittance.

    Yesterday's trip to Romania took me to a local shop where I bought these creams almost free (6$) in total :)

    Very nice. I tried them all, they are in every store here, in Romania.

    I'm a big fan of the D'Amaris Royal cream (the red one), that's what my old man used 15 years ago, when i was a kid. That smell brings back so many memories...

    Incredible haul today.

    I received a Weber Polished Bulldog razor and the following samples of Myrsol... Blue, Agua de Limón, C Formula, F Formula, Antesol, and Metilsol. All of them smell amazing, but I will have to figure out which one will get to be used first for my next shave.

    The Proraso Cream is the Blue version, it looks kind of green in this photo. The aftershave was advertised as the old fomula, I'll have to try it out in the morning.

    That badger has a sad Winnie the Pooh expression on it's face. I don't know as I could look at it without feeling sorry for the poor furry critter.

    I've convinced myself that the white stuff around his mouth is rabid drool. So, it's all good. :eek:

    After this months thread, I have some strange desire to get a stuffed badger. My wife may hate it but I think it'd be great for scaring the snot out of the kids in the morning if they don't get up on time for school.

    Love it! And you can tell Mrs. Neo that Bucky was a compromise for her over the moose head you really wanted. :D

    After reading some statements about the quality of the Viking's Sword blades here, I ordered 20 blades to try... They came in this afternoon.
    Can't wait to shave tomorrow morning!
