The Haul: July 2019

By the makers of Old Space(why did I say that)

 

He's a big galumphy pup but he already walks on the leash like he was trained to but I know he wasn't. Doesn't pull at all. Never had a dog before that didn't.

 

That's why when someone states they want a product "with no chemicals in it" I suggest if they get in their car and drive 64 miles straight up... With no air to bring the scent molecules into your face you wouldn't smell much. As your blood boiled from the lack of external pressure there'd be a metallic iron scent of blood leaving your body.
I think the play here is that the chill is derived from a chemical compound not made from mushed up plants. It's all new age hoodoo, but at the same time scientific coolness.

 

You're welcome. Enjoy. Don't forget to share with @wchnu.

 

I'll tell you what I want to share with him...the Williams video of the kid insulting Williams ).

 

Just Ordered this Westholme Horween Shell Cordovan Strop...

Billy..

 

The long odyssey of this razor has come to an end. I won it on eBay way back on May 20th. It just arrived today. @Billyfergie took delivery from Japan to give it some TLC. Little did I know the seller was going to declare full value to customs and Japan levies a duty on items going to the UK and the UK levies duties on items coming from Japan - so it was a double-whammy, not to mention a slow trip and some extra time in customs. Sheesh.

Anyhow, it was factory fresh and had never seen a hone. Billy had to do some extra work as there was nothing even approaching a bevel on it but he worked his magic and it came up aces. After a little extra time on the hones it finally made it here. First shave puts it in my top three. Couldn’t be happier.



Happy shaving - Karl

 

It looks like it was worth the wait, Karl. Congratulations.

Just checked the size of it with the Avon Razor Decanter, perfect match.

 

Stopped in Goodwill for some cheap dog toys. Found a nice pair of blonde chukkas by some company called Andrew Marc for $5. Sorry linked pic is so big.



They're undergoing my special santitizing and refinishing process now. Also found a very handsome Kenneth Cole day/date watch that I can't find online, just need a battery...


And yes, dog toys were bought.

 

He looks happy to be with you.

 

So far he's happy as a clam.

 

It will not take him long and he will figure out where his bread is buttered.

 

Kenny Cole products are quite nice.

 

Yep. Had a brown/bronze/rose gold chronograph about 15 years ago, lovely watch, but the movement gave out. KC always seems to have nice bands, I did keep the leather from that one.
