The Haul: December 2019

Mail call today.....

 

Mail call!

 

Oh my B.A.D is acting up, I'm on a Yaqi brush buying spree lately. When prices are this good why not.

My latest addition a Yaqi 24mm Timber wolf!

I have enough Yaqi brushes for years and will enjoy every day I use them.
Have some great shaves!

 

Yeah, guilty as charged. I received another package today - lol.

Nice!

 

Today I received my Cyber Monday order of some PAA fall scents I have been eyeing. I picked up two bundles and three shampoo pucks. The soaps smell great off the puck but Malbolge appears to be the winner. It was funny because Malbogle was the least appealing to my wife from the scent descriptions, yet in person it was her favorite. My last two orders from PAA had flimsy shave soap containers, but fear not they told me this is only temporary and that they will return to the more robust containers once this stock is depleted. I'm glad this change is not permanent because I really dislike this packaging. I can't wait to break these guys in.

I bought a couple more razors from the Groomatorium. Evidently they spilled a large bottle of cologne on a shelf of razors, and they're taking 40% off all of it. I've been buying RazoRock, Parker, and Weishi. Strike while the iron's hot guys.

 

Haha nothing wrong with that sir. Best art work in the shaving industry if im being honest.

 

You know you'll never be able to throw away any of those containers.

 

I’ve made a few too many PAA purchases lately ...noticed the tub packaging change. A couple older aromas just acquired still with the thicker tub with black lid.

Completely understand trying to minimize production cost, but with PAA being in the mid range artisan pricing (to my knowledge so far), that might work as a disadvantage in the long term.

 

PAA’s artwork is fun eye candy on top of nice products. A couple artisans have joined in with awesome artwork. The new Wholly Kaw Fougère Mania labeling is right there too. Scent seems to be polarizing for some, but as a Fougère fan, it’s a good one, and wifey approved.

 

Arrived finally. LeCoq caged head razor. After cleaning, this thing was almost jet black when I got it.

 

very cool..the handle almost looks old type..

 

Wednesday mail call is Palmolive shave cream and a Simpsons Chubby 2 Synthetic shave brush.

 

very cool Angelo..birthday month of great hauls..

 

To paraphrase an old song of the season, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.". Well I'm "Beginning to like Marshall's a lot." Ok, Ok, I know that's about as "bad" as bad can get. Add not singing to my list of "I shouldn't try to do..........."

I got lucky, I feel like, at Marshall's today. Got these two Proraso White soaps. One for $4.99 and one for $3.99. If that's not a good deal, don't tell me! Just let me go merrily along in my ignorant bliss?
