The Haul: December 2015

I bet Smoothy breaks the 30 day rule...who wouldn't.

 

I'm attempting a "No Buy 2016" so this is my last purchase (hopefully) until 2017. I won this possibly unused Gem Bullet Tip Micromatic in original case w/blade holder and blades for under $20. The razor and plastic case are just gorgeous with no signs of wear. The vintage blades are unique as they are double edge but used in an SE razor. The blade is stiff like an SE blade and I've never seen anything like them before. They are oxidized somewhat so I won't be using them but they are a very cool piece for my collection. Leaving now to go to a house party. I hope everyone in TSD has a happy and prosperous New Year.

Wish me luck on my "no buy 2016" goal................

 

so far I like it. Different skin feel than the Pinaud stuff, and about 30 min of staying power. This is just splashing it on without a shave though. I will use it in the next few weeks and let you know.

 

Looks great - and I just love my WD High Mountain badger knot. Soft with nice backbone.

 

What a great looking display.

 

That is neat. How old are those brushes?

 

Nice. How often do you use your single ring?

 

Pull the trigger before she realizes it.

 

They look indestructible.

 

You think? Does the kind of tallow change the color of the soap?

 

Mine is 'FULL,' but; for how-long? I like it, & use a "LITTLE," now & then!

 

Used it today, and its pretty awesome. Not sweet like Pinaud's LimeSec, just a clean smell. Not really overpowering, and not too long lasting. Good for an office where you shouldn't wear strong scents. Has a pretty good alcohol burn, and a nice skin feel. After NB16, I will probably get a bottle of the Lilac from this company as well.

 

I'm still waiting on these two goodies and I wish they'd hurry up and get here. They were supposed to arrive on Wednesday.

 

Gorgeous!
