The Haul: December 2019

awesome..

 

Waiting to try the Elk, Venison and Water Buffalo meat sticks.

 

yum..sounds good..

 

I got this last month but didn't have a chance to post it. It's old, gold plated and in a Milord box. Is it a Milord, I couldn't tell ya but it's cool and was in my price limit so I took a chance. One of the endcaps is missing and some of the plating on the head is flaking off and the box looks like a couple of generations of mice grew up in it but it's another good shaving razor.


Sorry about the sideways pictures. I went threw them and rotated them when I saved them.

 

cool milord sir..

 

A Mystery brush just showed up from China. Nice little 24 mm synthetic shave brush.

I just got back from Chicago to find 2 packages of goodness delivered for some awesome shave enjoyment. I received my Occam's Razor full open comb base with ridged head and to avoid shipping cost, a small puck of their Mountain Menthol shave soap. The razor is a great looking piece of hardware, nice value, and has some substantial weight. I tried it this morning with a slightly used Feather blade and it performed excellent. I highly recommend this razor based the quality, price, look, but unfortunately only one shave to date. Nice packaging as well, especially at this price point.




The other package was from PAA, probably my favorite overall artisan. CK-6 Space Nog and Future Fiction bundles. Both smell great but I probably favor Future Fiction, especially since the wife really likes it. It is funny, but my son pointed out that off the puck, Space Nog has a Big League Chew gum smell. Lathering up this morning, the bay rum and sweetness is more distinct and less bubble gum like. You definitely notice the difference once loaded on the brush.

Thanks Gary. Enjoyable stuff for sure.

Nice purchase.
By the time I was able to check their website it was cleaned out.
I’ve got some C&S soap but the aftershave is out of my price range at normal retail.

 

I understand that; there’s no way I’d pay $150 for an aftershave. My max on what I’ll spend on a luxury aftershave is $50.

 

All that stuff is contaminated. Let me give you an address to send all that awesomeness so I can eat.... I mean dispose of the items safely.

In all seriousness, nice stuff.

Santa Claus sent me all this today!!

 

Terrific haul, Joseph! You are the master of finding and grabbing vintage software.

 

Now all I need is a Simpson Rover, a jar of MdC Rose, a Cooper Monobilt that actually closes correctly; a Lersche, a Red Ring....

 

Sounds like a Christmas List.

Early this morning I got from the mailman a vintage Franklin Toiletries metal shave bowl and boar brush in a wooden display case from 1980.
