Spring is here (seems early...and hot already). But the change of seasons is a great time to try new stuff. So get some! (And then share with us!) (And some of these are always appreciated)
Ok as promised I am now loading pics of all my recent hauls in the past week... 1. From Jody -Schick Injector Razor and a puck of Williams Mug soap 2.From Cleave (cpool222)- German Made Boar Brush and Vitos Tobacco Cologne 3.From the mighty generous CyanideMetal (Randy)- 1940's Super Speed and he even surprised me with an extra!!!!! A 68' Black Handle Flare Tip Super Speed...thanks bro!! 4.From a store on Etsy called Mundus I received a Tallow and Lanolin 4oz. Shave soap "Brave" scent...and she even surprised me with 2 extra sample bars of hand soap!! Its been a good week!!! Have not tried this soap yet seeing as how I have already shaved for the day and I JUST got it in the mail....so tomorrow I will post updates on this soap...and if all is well I shall recommend it to all you shavers out there....its only $5 for a 4oz. puck. Great value and I hope the shave is even better! Okay fellas...update on the Mundus "Brave" scent shave soap........its a bit bubbly lather.....starts to dissipate a bit but not major....it does perform nicely though when it comes to razor glide and scent......it does not dissipate as fast or as bad as Williams though....so I think a lot of people would like this soap.....the scent is AMAZING!! I topped it off with my Vitos Tobacco Cologne and wow what a combo!! Smelt wonderful for over half the day...then it got to faint. Colognes never last long on me anyways but the soap scent was still goin strong....not a heavy scent but a pleasant light scent that lingers all day long. I would recommend this soap as long as you are not too picky on your lather!!
Had an amazing haul today. First, forgot that I had ordered a couple Razorock items: Caprician Lemon Artisan Soap, RazoRock Alum. More importantly, you'll see the reason that the members of this forum are so great! Randy decided to surprise me with an amazing PIF: A slim adjustable and you see that metal tub with soap in it? Well, Randy knows how fanatical I am about P.160, so he PIF'd me a big chunk of his 2011 LE Razorock Soap!!! (for the uninitiated, it smells exactly like P160)!!! Thank you so much CyanideMetal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was waiting for me at home today, my first TTO, a Gillette Super Speed. It was generously PIF'd to me by Dusty5150, and is in excellent shape. Thanks, Dusty5150!
Received this morning by mail the new iPad for my wife as well, from a colleague at work returning from a trip, this below:
Yesterday's (Monday) mail brought me this NOS Colibri Shark lighter. Made in 1999. Fantastic lighter and got it for a steal.
Ok.......I confess. I sometime scan through other forums to see what deals I can find. This one arrived today from a private sale: This is a C.J.B Korean made razor which is of similar design to the Japanese Style Feather RG. It is sold in Korea with a pack of Feather blades for $13. Needles to say it cost a bit more by the time it reached me......but excluding postage...I paid just slightly more than the cost of a pack of blades, here in the UK. It is not Feather finish/quality.....but seems to be extremely good value for money. The razor was supplied with 20 feathers!
So here's the birthday haul, still quite a bit in the mail system as well though. Here's the list: Pinaud Clubman V.I Bay Rum Pinaud Clubman Classic Floid Blue RazoRock Chianti Lavender RazoRock Third Eye Vitos Extra Super Vitos Extra Super Coconut Simspons Chubby 1 Vie-Long Horse/Badger Mix Merkur 1904 Open Comb Schick E2 Injector The injector looked pretty rough off the bat, but I figured for $9, who can complain. Cleaned up VERY nicely with some scrubbing bubbles. Has a few vintage blades left in there, but I think I may order some new ones to try it out first.
A really nice Haul from Shaveabuck! 2x Lea Menthol sc tubes 1x Mystic sc tube 1x Pika (aka Nuka) sc tube (the red box) 1x Sabi black handle DE (a big surprise to me!) Can anyone tell me about the Sabi? I have no clue how it is!
I received my first Dutch PIF today from Mike (macaronus). Can't wait to start breaking in the brush.
Customs really did a number on my Bestshave.net order and than didn't tape it up very well.After discovering that there were rivals to THE arko stick I just had to order some.Ordered on March 12th received on March 21st. now that was fast.Check out the fume soap, missing one Derby stick and squeeze open one of the Vikings.
So I tried that RR Limited Edition soap this morning...awesome stuff! Nearly indistinguishable from P.160. Thanks again for the fabulous PIF, Randy!
