The Haul: February 2017

Nothing shave related, but something relaxing too. My new Rossi 320 KS Vulcano pipe. It was reduced and i wanted to have the 320 shape for a while now. I love it. She is so beautiful.

Very nice! You got it for a good price, especially with the case and in good condition.

 

Made a couple orders last week. Was surprised that one of them already arrived in today's mail. Tabac Original, another Stirling Soap (Coniferous) to add to the collection, and Cella after shave. Lots of folks seem to like Tabac - I'll give it a try this afternoon. The Stirling Coniferous - smells like conifer trees - go figure. I have a number of woodsy soaps and like them all. The Cella after shave is very nice - although I thought it would smell like the soap - it doesn't. It has its own scent - but very nice.

 

Can't wait to try this tonight.

 

That looks minty. Nice score.

A soak in Dawn and a bit o' scrubbing...it's near new-looking. Fixing to scrape mah face with it now.

Edit: It's no wonder these are considered the best razors in the world. I love this thing.

 

A New Forest Tubby brush that was lost in transit from the UK showed up today. Its been missing since the beginning of January.....

The coolest thing about this NF brush is that it arrived with the original instructions from the manufacturer. It doesnt look like the brush was used or if it was it was sparingly .

 

I had a few goodies show up today. The TTFFC Devils Cut smells amazing, I can't wait to try it. @Tdmsu also threw in a jar of Cella, which I've never tried, along with a bunch of samples.

 

Received my Gem OCMM razor today Ive always considered myself a Schick man but these great little razors are making me rethink my favorite list...

 

Cella soap is one of my favorites - great lather and very slick. Hope you like the scent of almonds.

 

I'm not crazy about the scent but I've heard nothing but good things about the performance

 

It does perform well. The scent doesn't stay once you rinse off.

 

Arrived a day early: February 28

Advertised as a Milord 1920 for parts. Obviously a ball end NEW. I got it because I wanted the end pieces to make a wooden handle.

Here it is right out of the box.





I am not going to do anything with the tube right now, maybe never. Here are the parts after a soak in hot water and Dawn and some cleaning with a toothbrush.

 

I just received this killer Illinois 827 strop from a very generous forum member.

Thank you.

Recieved these items in the mail yesterday from several trades, actually have a few more trades pending. Can't believe I love all these scents, usually there will be a dud or two, but everything smells great. Thank you everyone for the awesome trades.

 

Today I received 2 Palmolive Shave Sticks as a give away from Kevy Shaves on YouTube to celebrate his 2,000 subscriber milestone. Very kind of him and I wish him well. If you haven't watched his videos, you should check him out as he helps promote the brotherhood of our shaving hobby.
