The Haul: March 2015

And finally two new handles, one acrylic and one olive wood. and Taconic Eucalyptus and Mint shave cream.

 

That olive wood looks really nice

 

This is amazing. I researched in the uk an it doesn't look possible for me to get such a selection. I am envious. What happens though if you like them all? That's an expensive future purchase...

 

Your posts make me wish I'd purchased the rolls razor I saw for sale at the weekend. Very nice.

 

Do you intend on replacing old knots or are you making your own?

 

All the stuff in that photo - brushes and samples - came from Maggard's.

 

These, making my own. I have other old brushes I am working on restoring

 

Brush - Ebay, Rolls Razor - Ebay, samples - Maggards.

 

Three new boar brushes to try out and three new soaps
2 Kell's. Arabian spice and ancient Sedona
TFS di vino soap smells just like wine

 

I'd say you have some great choices:

Trumpers

Truefitt and Hill

Connaught Shaving

Executive Shaving

 

Love those handles

 

Wow. Much appreciated. I was only aware of executive. Thanks for the links.

 

Finally scored my birth year/quarter razor. Paid way too much for it but it IS in very nice condition and now the hunt for the E1 Black Beauty is over. Can't wait to take this beauty for a test drive tomorrow morning.

 

My Lucky Tiger After Shave and Face Tonic came in yesterday. I overslept so I didn't have time for a shave but I still had time for the tiger. Very refreshing feel and seems to have a bit of an orange scent. I think I will be enjoying this one.

 

I use that one every morning right after the alum block

 

I've been thinking about this product for some time. Maybe it's time I buy a bottle.

 

I got a small sample of it and love it.
It's very similar, to me, to the Provence Sante which is most excellent.
It's an alcohol-free, low-scent product with great face moisturizing properties. I will be getting a full bottle.

 

The last of my aftershave samples. These are from Garry's.

 

What' the story behind that interesting mug?

 

I need to order those Floid samples too. Those are the last ones that I really need to try.

My haul: As to smell like a Boss. SWMBO was loving my sample of L'Orange Noir, so I of course had to buy a full bottle. And the Platinum was a winner as well. So now I have all three of the Fine products that I liked from my samplers. American Blend had already come in a couple weeks ago.
