The Haul: December 19th - December 25th, 2011

Big haul for me this week (so far anyway)
Muhle R-41
Mystic men shave cream (bulgarian I think never tried it I;m sure Jeff will give me an idea on it)
Omega soap
Omega 10275 boar 22m knott
Proraso ASB (this one is staying in poland as secret santa got me one for home)
Wars classic aftershave
L'Occitaine CADE EDT (I really like trhe smell of CADE not every one's taste I know)

 

I received a pak of VOSKHOD blades today from tuco99
Thanks!
I have heard good things, will try this afternoon

 

My friend, I am afraid I never tried that Mystic cream - I'm the wrong guy to ask! Enjoy the stuff you received!

 

Mini haul in the mail today,some blades from Wyatt46

 

Some ASB and after shave (bought only for cheap week, and for when I'm in work, very citrus type smell) very fresh

 

Received this in the mail yesterday from an unknown source. Does anyone know anything about this brand of after shave?

 

But if you would send him a sample "hint-hint" he would be happy to review it for you.

 

My monday haul

Two ounce goo-tubes for travelling. I will review them after I get a chance to use them a bit. I can use them for shaving cream or aftershave while travelling. My shampoo bottle ruptured during my last trip so I needed to replace it, it lasted for about five years, so I hope these work out well. They have a large opening to fill, are squeeze tubes, and have a suction cup to put on a mirror or tile. They got very good reviews from other travellers.

Just a note, the pineapple, coffee, and mug were just in the way, but the coffee if great if you like a good dark roast.

 

Last week I had my birthday party at a fav eatery called Red Hot & Blue. So a non-shave-related haul for me included:
A Kindle Fire
A HP H470 Travel Printer. In my line of work, I'm not allowed to use hotel common computer services. My old one finally died.
And a Barlow (a particular weakness of mine )

 

What you got is a wetshaving forum classic. I have never tried it but it had high status among wetshavers, its Swiss or German origin I think. It was not available widely in the US for a number of years so the only way to get it was through one American vendor or the British vendors. I remember one mod on another forum always raving about it and saying it smelled to his delight, like pears. Its still not widely available in America as far as I know.

 

Thanks. I will let you know what it smells like when I get it.

 

Not the same brand name, but the same tubes just the same; those tubes are golden! They work well for salad dressing in the lunch box or for talc in my tube socks, or any manner of things in between!

 

+1 on the salad dressing, way better than a baggie or a small bowl.

 

Only an Okie would put salad dressing in a baggie.

 

Big haul...thus far this week. Last night I received an email that I won a Motorola Lapdock for my Atrix. It is the laptop looking computer in the image. This will be very handy for my accounting program. Now I can work on my assignments anywhere!



Also my father-in-law dropped off our Christmas gift today. Be wanted us to get it early in case we wanted to use it for Christmas cooking...etc. The pasta maker is mine! I have always wanted one. Now my Italian food can be made from total scratch! My wife has always wanted a Bosch machine...and now she has one with all the bells and whistles to go with it! It has been a good few days!

 

And just where will this homemade Italian cooking take place?

 

In my kitchen! Oh boy am I excited! (Let's just say if you don't live in Montana...you'd better start driving to make it here in time for Christmas )

 

I have to admit I never thought of that. Does sound like a good idea as they are food safe and BPA free.
Thanks for the tip.
