The Haul: August 20th - August 26th, 2007

School's back! Fall's coming! What's coming in for you or what did you get this week??

Post up the goodies, y'all.

 

Tend to get RAD when it comes to the blades. Got some free samples today:

Blades
Sputnk
Sharp
3 Treet Plantinum
Astra Kamick
Balaka Carbon
Super Dinosaur
Dinosaur
Super-Max Super Stainless
At the rate that I am using the blade I have enough to last me for approximatly three years. I think that I am about set.

Razors

Love my 41 Super Speed so I went and ordered a travel version of the Super Speed. Don't figure that I will need anything more in that area.

 

I did not know they made a Travel Super Speed Type. I know of a Tech Type or Turnback. Do you have a picture?

 

Waiting on stuff. "Lot" of razors, some 1/2 chaps and a couple of Kent soap bowls. Oh, and a Feather "ahem" razor. I didn't expect that one. I got outbid like I thought I would and the high bidder retracted. Go figure.

 

Scored a Kent soap in wooden bowl yesterday. Also a nice Sandalwood soap by Yardley.

Got more order in today for this beauty! Been wanting one of these for a long time and finally have one coming :happy023

 

And you acquired this little beauty how? Give details.

 

Trumpers is discontinuing all their razors. If you go to their site they have a 50% off sale going. The shipping from U.K. is a b*ch but I have a good friend that split his order with me, so that made it reasonable.

Total cost was just shy of $60.00

 

That soap is just amazing. Congratulations.
And congratulations to your new razor.

Took Mike's advice and took advantage of Trumper's sale on razor line. Always had my eye on this one and now there is just no excuse. Just placed an order for the simulated tortoise handle. After its discontinued, don't come banging on my door wanting to try it out.

This is a modified Merkur Progress Adjustable Double Edged Razor I received yesterday.

 

Rich, that is beautiful. When I get back from vacation, I will be sending mine off to Eric as well.

 

That's a nice looking razor Rich! Eric does indeed do nice work. I guess I'll put that on my want list.....................

last night, from shavingesssentials

1 bottle Boosters Iced Lime aftershave
1 bottle Boosters June Clover aftershave
sample - Boosters polar ice
sample - Boosters oriental spice
sample - JM Frasers shaving cream

Unfortunately, the cap got opened somehow during shipment and about 1/2 of my June clover leaked out and all over the box, the box was all smooshed when it arrived. :ashamed001

The good news is, as expected, shavingessentials is taking care of it. :happy096 They offered to replace both bottles (the iced lime you could tell leaked a little as well), but I told them the June clover was the only one that was really affected.

They're going to add another bottle to my next order of oriental spice and possibly Jickey(if it doesn't smell like oldman) when they get it in.

Oriental spice is probably my 2nd favorite scent from boosters, behind June Clover or Iced lime. Yep, the June clover is that good IMO. Sticks around a bit longer too, smelled it on me thru this afternoon.

And I don't think the oriental spice smells like clubman at all. I have some aquarius, and it definitely smells like clubman. But maybe the "spice" (I think I smell cinnamon or something) overtakes the clubman smell. Regardless, it's good stuff!
