The Haul: March 2013

No kidding! Its dirt cheap over there too!! That's pretty much all my bro sends is hello kitty as I have 3 girls.

 

Ah, then you are prepared. The Kitty-fu is strong with you.

 

Count me jealous, and I don't even use straight razors.

 

Speaking of Kitty-fu, I hardly recognize you any more now that you've changed your avi.

 

Y'know, I changed it to avoid looking like a crazy cat lady...but clearly my posts still betray my CCL status . So the mustachioed kitten will return. I only just realized that he looks like a penguin, no wonder you approve

Btw I actually only have 1 kitty...but my lolcats are legion

 

Said the CCL.

 

"Face Value!"

Man, that is one nice looking razor!

 

Awesome tin! Keep some Arko in there

 

The last time I "gave the new generation a chance" was with a Braun about 15 years ago. I hope they've got better since I paid for that for a couple days at least.

 

That is the plan, if I can bear to cover up the happy Arko man

 

I picked these up today. The Final Fantasy XIII-2 limited edition guide and the game. I am on the last battle of FF XIII so I thought I'd get the next game for a seamless transition!

 

Wow, I used to love those games on the SNES. I haven't played one since, I don't think. Didn't know they were still going. I may have to see what they have that will work on my ancient computer.

 

Yeah the franchise is still going very strong! Right now Square Enix is beta testing for FF XIV (a MMORPG). The games are really intense and fast paced now. Some don't like them like that, but I find them challenging and fun to play. That being said, they are great for 100+ hours of game play.

 

A few things this month:

TOBS Grabfruit
C&E Nomad soap in wooden bowl
2013 Muhle R41
C&E Tube Key x2

Waiting for arrival: DR Harris Pink A/S

 

Watch out when you shave!

 

I had the '11 Muhle R41 and it was a beast. Shaved with the '13 this morning and a Gillette Silver Blue. It's still something not to use when you're half asleep.

 

For my last haul of March, thanks to my pal michael54 Omega Boar 10218 i believe. Love it. Whipped up a great couple of lathers to clean and break in, and it made a nice bowl of Irish Moos( also thanks Mike) for the main event.

The picture is of Proraso Cream. Can't beat it for the money shots!

 

Alright, decided to post in here. Didn't really think of what I had accumulated last month till now. For sure going to have to be easy this month. So here it goes.

27 sticks if arko
200 Astra SP
205 Voskhod (5 PIF)
10 Ted Pella SE
M- bomb
Menthol crystals
Fat Boy case
Pinaud Citrus Musk
Shulton OS bottle 90% Full
Dz AS samples (mostly bay rum)
1/2 Dz Mike's soap samples
6 Nivea Energy splash A/S
Hot towel mask (pif)

 

Sooooo How did your Ohpaos Jumbo brush turn out? I've begun to work on the same handle. But I don't think I'd go larger than a 24mm with it. As it stands I think I'm gonna do the APShaveCo SynBad Synthetic in 22mm on one, and a Maggard's Synthetic 20mm on another. I think these were originally about 17-18mm, so spreading the hole out to 26-28mm seems like a stretch to me...
