The Haul; February 2023

Bolero vanilla and rose soap at Dollar Tree. Has a pretty potent rose scent, if that's something that works for you. Imma try it.

 

Thursday’s mail call is from The Razor Company; today I got the Tatara Muramasa adjustable safety razor.

 

Arrived earlier this week, it was a long wait.

Is this what the Stirling soap should look like, just wondering because it took nearly 4 weeks to get from Spain to Oz.

They threw in a bonus buy (I never ordered this! the little red tub! I notice it is nice and smooth. Oh well, happy to add this to my den.

That’s definitely what Stirling shave soaps look like.

 

@Angelo85 Thank you, that's good to know. I thought the surface looked a bit rough perhaps from heat during the journey here, maybe that's why they added the Arko tub as a reference point. Keen to try these as well.

 

Friday’s mail call is 2 fold. From PAA is their Quantum safety razor. From Maggard Razors, I got LPL’s Bay Rum and Oud Neroli shave soaps.

 

The LPL Bay Rum is an excellent soap.

 

that's a nice looking razor

 

I believe I just joined the unicorn club. I have been trying to expand my Gillette Rockets collection & saw this razor on eBay last week. I couldn't believe what I saw, a Milord US Rocket in the original case! Never thought I'd see one. About 20 exist and were only given to Gillette executives. This one has never been used. I'm beyond thrilled. If anyone could give me more information about them I would appreciate it.

 

Though I do not use Alum much these days, this is nice for Travel bag.

 

Angelo that is a interesting razor, I went to their site and it was sold out in 10 minutes. PAA claims it is a proto type and looks like your the lucky fellow of 10 folks who bought at the right moment or few minutes. Looks like there is going to be some more in the works I figure. Thanks for sharing!

 

Mail call today, bought this new handle on sale a 2-3 weeks ago and won the razor case in the raffle.


The handle is called a Yaqi polished Tear drop( it reminds me of the old ship "cannons"). It will be called my "Cannon handle".
Have some great shaves!

 

Now have enough blades to use my Schick Super 11 Cart as a Travel Razor.

 

@Angelo85
Very nice. Very James Bond-ish, even the guy on the box!

 

Mail call brought a few new sharp and/or pointy toys.


Hoping this one sees plenty of action this summer:

 

You gotta like Canadians that send packages Air Mail and it only takes a couple of days for delivery. Finally got the correct two piece handle for my Canadian WW II soft khaki case to replace the English two piece handle.............

 

Hot off the mail truck! Just need the case & the blade dispenser. No cracks or crazing other than a couple of lite scratches Will PIF the razor (as I surely don't need another one) in the near future.

 

Thursday’s mail call is a 1958 Gillette Executive Fatboy.

 

Nice
