The Haul: January 23rd - January 29th, 2012

So, what's in your haul this week? Remember: ics:

 

FInally got my shaveabuck.com order in...he even threw in a free sample of Figaro shave cream!

And I got my shipment in from a trade with another member with some extra goodies!! Thanks Shawn!!

 

Well, Bill?
Brush and scuttle? Pics? Remember?
We're waiting.

 

Bill got a new brush and scuttle?!

C'mon Mix Master Mighty White, show them off!

 

I got home from work today and had a couple packages waiting for me...



I picked these up last week on ebay.

I can't wait to try them out. The biggest decision will be which one is first.

 

Is that 4711 I see above the Sir?

Does it have the 4711 scent?

 

It is 4711, but not quite the same as the cologne of today. This has a heavy leather with a hint of medicinal to it. I just put a little on my finger to check it out, added a little water and rub my fingers together...instant, slick lather. This might be the first of the bunch I try.

 

Any idea as to the age of the product Tony?

 

I am not for sure. I have been searching to try to find out.
If I had to guess, I would say 20's or 30's from the style and design of the packaging.

 

Nice find!
Also nice to know that even old creams can still be great.
Is that usually the case?

Happy shavings!

 

In Tuesday mail.

 

The queen made a delivery today. And very quick, too. Thanks for that Joanna.
I already started to regret my vow not to use any mentholated product until this would arrive...
It is going to be a very Menthol Thursday for me

 

Weehee!
Delivery from The Queen of Blades, :

• TSD soap TSD signature
• TSD wheat shaving cream Oak leaves & acorns
• TSD Soap refill Bay Rum
• TSD Witch Hazel cedarwood

Leaves the question: which one to try tomorrow? Can't wait.
Decisions, decisions...

 

Got home to find these babies waiting for me, a Gem G-bar, Gem Blades and Schick Injector! I've never tried an SE before, so I'm looking forward to it. I must say, the G-bar is a substantial-feeling piece of metal. Thanks to Latherman87 for the great trade.

 

Picked up this Georgetown G5 Scuttle in our B/S/T from blanka, and he was kind enough to include some vintage Gillette blades, and a Super Iridium for me to try out.

Thanks blanka!



This next superfluous purchase I blame on all the enablers, Steve, Bob, Scott, Jeff and everyone else that rants about this brush here at TSD, a Vulfix Grosvenor 404 badger/boar mix.

Now this shockingly good brush cost me less than $20.00 USD shipped, all the way from England, and it arrived in 7 business days!

 

This here is a package I received from one of our members in trade. I look forward to trying out all of it!

 

Don't go starting a war now trying to become an international Queen!
