Oh I'm not in the US anyway but the products there are most likely the same as in Canada, ok that makes sense that its European as I've never seen there other products before kinda strange how large corporations are wasting there supply chains here by only selling a few products when they could be squeezing more money out of us with there other products of course in not complaining I got these in the mail today same as the personas I got earlier as they accept atra and trac II handles but they don't have the little slime pad after the blades
I'm not sure which impresses me more, the shave haul (tho I don't use Trac II) or the bar haul in the background.
Haha that's hardly 1/3 of the alcohol here and I haven't tryed the trac II yet ether and only tryed the atra yesterday I never had a problem with any razor yet so I figured I can buy a lot of carts blind and not have to worry and from the test drive yesterday they do a good job just not as smooth shaving as a DE
Barbon Cream, Barbon Aftershave, Wilkinson Sword Razor, Treet Dura Sharp (won't use), Lord Super Stainless (probably won't use,) Gillette 7 o' clock Stainless steel (Maybe.) The first impressions of this Barbon... OMG Amazing!
I've been looking for containers for my different soaps and soft soaps. The Anchor Hocking 6 oz custard cups are good candidates, but I can't find the 6 pack with lids locally. I was running errands this morning and decided to stop at Goodwill while I was driving by. I found a nine cannister set that looked perfect (at least 8 of them did). The bidgone doesn't belong, it doesn't match the others but it was included in the nine piece set for $7. Here's one of the small canisters next to my VDH soap mug. It's a good fit for most of my soap pucks, take them out of the package and they will fit like a glove. Below are pucks of VDH Deluxe, Pre de Provence and Pyrate Cove inserted in the cannisters. The tops have a silicone (I think) seal that I had removed and washed. Some were discolored because they had probably been used to store tea or spices. The bottoms are marked Ikea, but I couldn't find anything similar in their current catalog. They fit perfectly in the bamboo stand I have next to the lavatory. The lids were dried out when I got them, I rubbed a little neatsfoot oil into them and it brought out the grain. I just need to get my label maker out and label them when I put a soap in.
Got this bad boy in a couple of days ago. It was looking pretty rough, but after 6 hours in the autoclave, 15mins in the ultrasonic, a few mins on the polishing wheel and she looks brand new. It sold literally 5 mins after I posted it online. This one and two others.
It started with the custom brush, it looked so good I ordered a custom handle for my R41 and a custom pen. All made in Boxelder burl by Rudy Vey. The brush is a Shavemac D01
I live in Seoul South Korea in a neighborhood called Yeouido. I'm luck to have a great view down the Han River that bisects Seoul.
Dare I say it? Gangnam style. (Which I'm pretty sure is Korean for "fashion and auditory nightmare.")
Let's see, I've been too lazy to take pictures. SWMBO surprised me last night with these: Lemon AS balm and Unscented SC from AoS. Not a bad haul. Also got a sampler with it. Yesterday I also got like 10 scent samples from the TSD store in the mail. They were (and still are) cheap so I grabbed a bunch of them. Using them to make an informed decision on my next order of the wheat shave cream. Samples include: Almond, Irish Spring type, Pink grapefruit, root beer, florida water type, Mango coconut, patchouli rose, stubble bubble, winter fresh, warm apple crisp, and yin yang. Yeah was kinda all over the place, anything that sounded interesting I added to my cart. Sitting them aside for a rainy day. I also got a shave stick from Mike's Natural shaving soap, unscented. Was nervous to pick up a smell that I wouldn't like. This stuff is great. Received a sample of Pine and Cedarwood which smells and works awesome as well. I think that's pretty much everything. Expecting a Muhle STF brush some time next week I bought from Justin's den reduction sale part 2. AD isn't as bad these days. Feeling very content with all my software, and a nice rotation of razors.
The literal translation is south of the river. It is the the rich neighbourhood where all the 'beautiful people' live. It is the next neighbourhood east from mine. Do me Kangnam means terrible traffic, inflated prices and people in debt. My office is in Kangnam. In the video Psy makes fun of the Kangnam lifestyle.... but it is a great to place to go if you want to see pretty women dressed to the nines.
I got home from the hospital today landing the mailbox was my Baoer fountain pen that I ordered. The pictures aren't the best, but it is the Baoer 79 and it came with a standard converter? Anyway, it seems very good quality and I can't wait to get some ink to use with it
Finally my stuff came in (except the stuff from bestshave, which apparently is coming in on a slow boat from Turkey)
I also picked up a sample of the pine and cedarwood, had my first shave with it this morning. Best, smoothest, and closest shave I have had since the beginning of my wet shaving adventure. +1 for Mike's
I got this bad boy about a week ago and after some serious cleaning and enough polishing to make both of my elbows hurt, here is the final product. I also restored a Shick single edge razor that came out amazing. I'll post some pics this week as well. I have a few really cool brushes I'm working on too. This razor is a Lux 3-piece DE razor and from what I have read on another forum is this bad boy is supposed to be a much more agressive shave then the Gillette Techs. It is stainless steel so it has a really nice weight to it and shined up really well. The handle also fits my gilette heads which is another bonus. Enjoy this razor porn.
This is what arrived today a couple gold fat handle techs,70s ss,50s ss micromatic open comb,president,micromatic bullet tip,slim,aluminum handle black tip and some other gillette View attachment 35114 then after I took this picture these arrived three schick injectors,aristrocrat,195,slim,gem 1912 and a old brush (everready) ill try to re knot View attachment 35115
