    RyX DoH!

    While out looking for a puck of Modern Williams shave soap, I visited a local pharmacy - Hobgood's. The owner has a friend who turned him on to Wet Shaving. He made space in the small showroom for a bunch of Proraso products, a number of brushes, & couple DE razors. I purchased two tucks of Feather blades and had a few minuted of conversation with Mr. Hobgood. He presented me with a gift - a puck of Cheeky Maiden Soap Co.'s Lavender & Bergamot. Small world since I used to live near Tucker, Georgia.

    That’s exactly how I explained to my wife the reason I need several. They don’t make them anymore and I might accidentally break one. ;)

    Once you get that first one, you realize there are others.

    Well, now I have to look for OS mugs again... sigh. I didn't realize there were so many variations that I have walked right past.

    This came in yesterday.
    It looks as if only one blade has been taken out and used. Minuscule wear on that blade. None of the blades have touched a hone. Everything is silver plated, and I spent an hour polishing with Goddards Silver Polish. 95 years of tarnish. The only thing missing is the strop, and the instructions. The seller apparently lost the instructions, because they were shown on the ebay photo. I took a chance on this one, and paid $30. I didnt know the condition of all the blades.

    Wilkinson Sword, Pall Mall. 7 Day Set . Made for Alfred Dunhill of London. Fifth Ave New York.

    Before cleaning.

    I'm sitting here in a state of total SHOCK because I wasn't expecting anything for 2-3 weeks!

    Just in from Durban, South Africa:

    1x River Valley Trading Frosty Bay Rum SS
    1x River Valley Trading Chapmunk SS
    1x River Valley Trading Green Fields SS
    1x River Valley Trading Roseline SS
    1x Wriggly Tin Rosemary Mint SS
    1x Vi-John SC

    I traded with Mohamed, the owner of this company and he also received his stuff from me today - what a coincidence! These soaps smell awesome and they're very highly-touted on the South African Master Shave forum!
