The Haul: December 3rd - December 9th, 2007

Not only that, we get royally screwed on prices...

 

Ken, tu sais quoi, les douaniers ici sont des vrais couillons, ils me font chier avec les frais, les tarifs, etc. Merde, une fois j'ai achete quelque chose a 22,00 USD, et pour le faire rentrer au pays, ils m'ont nique aven un sale coup de 10,00 CDN--imagine ca..... :mad:

 

Wish list?

Dude, that is your old brush. :rofl

Sort of, the Queen has that one, "The Chipper".

 

Je sais que Trumpers est 36USD, dans Toronto c'est 60CAD.

 

Doc, you're a piece of work!! Rich, Doc, Steve, JoAnna, Vanessa...who can keep track??!!

 

Not my old brush, I was the pimp on that transaction. :rofl

 

Max, that's too bad, I hope you can get your money back!

@all: fantastic hauls there! ::

 

I feel sooooo used! :rofl

 

Today I received a Thiers-Issard #69 Medaille straight (5/8).

 

Packaging was normal. However, judging the damage, I'd guess that even if it was in an ammo box, it wouldn't have survived.

The ebay seller was great. Even though it defintely was postal service abuse, he refunded my money. A real stand up guy.

 

Got a great big box from a trade with Rick.. Very Nice.. Lotsa cool stuff.. Lotsa Skin Bracer..

 

Picked up some Thayer's Rose and Lavender Toner today.

 

Ken, I bought both at the same time and find myself using the Lavender almost exclusively. In fact, I'm almost out of it and bought another a week or so ago. The Rose is still (almost) full. Not that I don't like it, it's just that I like the Lavender sooo much better.

 

I figured I would pick up both to see which I liked better. At least the Rose matches my Trumpers Rose soap..

 

Ahh, now THAT's nice stuff! At least the cream is - don't have their soap. And that's about the only time I use Thayer's rose. Not bad, but the Lavender...:1respect

 

Some say the soap is too subtle but I like it.

 

Salaam Wa'Aleikum Saidi wa Saidati!

My friend was in Egypt, and brought me back these nice creams:

1x Chabrawichi 555 s/c tube
1x Tamara s/c tube
1x Palmolive Menthol s/c tube (yes, menthol!)

also 1x Chabrawichi 555 cologne

I was shocked that there's a Palmolive Menthol in Egypt. The tube however, is blue, and the scent of the cream is completely different than what the Italian mentholated version is, but it's still very nice.

 

From a forum trade:

Mitchell's Wool Fat shave soap puck
Floris JF shave soap puck
Trumper's Violet cream tub

From Mama Bear:
Rosemary/Mint shampoo
Creed: GIT type shampoo
Hydrogen shampoo
Peppermint A/S milk w/ extra added Menthol (the face freezer is back!!)
Elements of Bamboo Cologne (very lemony/citrusy scent... nice for Spring/Summertime!)
