    Thanks. It looks really good. The case has seen better days, but that's ok.

    Thanks to @Gabe, I'm a proud owner of a Real 1914 Ever Ready!! That's right, "Patent Pending"!!

    I have done no cleaning or polishing. Love the lines of these oldies. For a 100 year old razor, it's a beauty!!

    Also, I received this badger brush and razor from The Clean Shaver to try out.

    Nice weight. The head reminds me of the RR Slab. Handle has good knurling with a little length.
    Overall very nice. I'm going to try them out this weekend. :)

    Kerry, I already have the Shambala which I love so much. After using this Black Powder twice already I can tell you that it's definitely going to be part of my aftershave rotation - it smells gorgeous and lasts all day, just like Shambala does! :)

    Picked up this tin the other day. I photographed it with a razor for scale.
    It's 7.5" tall and 5.5" in diameter. I'm thinking it's large enough for a lifetime supply of used blades. Or maybe a piggy bank to save up for more gear.

    My wife made the mistake of going for a pedicure in a nail shop right next to an antique shop. I finally have a Schick type E-2

    What is this mistake you speak of? It sounds like Karma to me.

    Got a nice haul on Leap Day! Received some spring/ summer scents just in time for Menthol Monday.

    Customer service is top notch. Received a hand-written note with my order, as well as two sample sized bath soaps (Bay Rum and Sharp Dressed Man). The scents smell great--glacial lemon chill like a cough drop mixed with ice cold lemonade. MITA smells just like a Margarita. The Bay Rum is sweeter and smells very nice--and I usually don't love bay rums.

    I ordered some Indian Old Spice shaving cream (70gr) and aftershave (50ml) a week ago on eBay, and it arrived today.
    I wasn't a big fan of Old Spice before, and that hasn't really changed, but the Indian AS is definitely better than the ones I can get locally. The Indian OS is warmer, creamier and generally smells like it has better ingredients. There's none of the synthetic harshness that I find overpowers the OS sold here.
    The shaving cream was a pleasant surprise - the scent is much more toned down, so much so that for me, it became an almost generic scent which made it very nice, haha! I picked up hints of Spanish Floid and LEA sensitive shaving cream while test lathering (lather is fine btw).
    As I'm writing this, I can tell you that the longevity of the Indian AS is better as well. I put some on the back of each hand and the western OS is completely gone now, while the Indian is still going strong.
