The Haul: January 21st - January 27th, 2008

Is it really almost the end of January? What's your haul this week? Post it up, folks!

 

CSI LV Season 4 on DVD

 

Personna Double Edge Super Platinum Chrome Razor Blades

Old Spice Pure Sport Aftershave


Yes, you see it. Old Spice. I was Wal-mart blowing $290.00 groceries and other essentials and said what the heck is $5? I thought I'd try it.

 

Way to go!!!

 

Without any comment...:drool

 

Cheers, Thomas! ::

 

Very Nice Thomas

Very nice Thomas drool

I got some coffee today....

5# of Sidamo
10# of Columbian Monseratte

LOL, I ordered it almost 4 months ago

Too bad it's sooo cold out I cannot roast any

 

Ahh.. the coffee roasting... I need to check that out.. Got a Krups coffee maker/grinder/espresso do-it-all machine, home roasted coffe would be great (my wife will kill me for starting another project though ) Can you recommend any coffee-beans?

 

Hi Johan,

You may want to try and look for some coffee Co-Op's in Europe as shipping from the US may be on the expensive side..

I am really new to the home roasting myself, there are a lot of different beans available.

These folks offer a lot of different types and give better descriptions than I can. Hope that helps.

I like a lot of the Espresso blends, but have been enjoying single origin beans from Brazil, Nicaragua, Mexico, Ethiopia to name a few...

Some good reading here too:

Prost, lieber Tom! ::

 

Thanks! Now I got a jump point! I'll let you know how it goes!

 

Let me know if you have any questions

 

Just bought for rick; a Merkur Gold Slant Bar.:happy108

 

Correction: Just bought from rick. Its been a long day since 4AM. If I get lots of overtime, I may consider. I'm just excited getting a slant.

 

Todays haul is very Swedish:

Two DEs "Swing - Made in Sweden". One is a 3 piece with bakelite handle and in a round bakelite case and the other is a 2-piece DE!
Edit: Made some research (not much to find it sems ) and found that the razors are not older than 1943 ,that's when "AB Svensk Rakklinga" changed name to "Swing Ltd AB". The patent for the round bakelite case was filed in sept 2nd 1933 and granted nov 8th 1934. Will try to find more info.

And 100 "vintage" blades, National.
