The Haul; March 2023

Monday’s mail call is from the Wet Shaving Store; today I got Antica Barberia Mondial Original Citrus shave cream and aftershave.

 

@Jayaruh usually starts his shave videos with his Williams coffee mug. I asked him where I could get one, and he answered "WalMart"! It's an inexpensive photo mug with Williams artwork. Here are his instructions:

I am very pleased with the result!

 

Just got my Yaqi Mellon head in today, Yaqi makes some of these old razors & brings them back to life in present times with some improved modifications possibly. This razor was designed by Mr Mellon back in the 1930's but only had a short life span of a few years with different variants but it works well with the 2017 Yaqi Zamac Version1 and now Version 2 SS 316 Mellon head that is a little more aggressive with blade tabs covered. These are on the Trend setting sale also at Ali_express and make sure you grab the Ali coupon and combined save a little more if interested in these fine razors.
(photo is not the best because My camera on the phone got slightly damaged it seems from a damaged glass cover.)


Have some great shaves!

 

I did one a couple of years ago. Thanks to @Jayaruh

Picked up some Old Spice mugs

Two of them were $6.50 each and one was $2.50 (it has a very small chip)

 

Friday mail call is from Maggard Razors. Today I got WSP Black Amber Vanille soap and aftershave as well as Henri Et Victoria Duc De Santal soap and aftershave. I got these items during their 11% off sale.

 

The Duc de Santal is a very nice Sandalwood scent indeed. Congrats.

 

My shavesoap arrived today(Zingari Man "Exploroer".). Smells wonderful...will try soon with the tiny amount of Vetiver A.S. that is left. She alaso flipped in a tiny amount of "The Gent" soap.

 

Helpful of @Jayaruh to send that along.

 

Monday’s mail call is from Phoenix Shaving; I got their Twee and Boomtown Bay Rum CK6 shave soaps and aftershaves.

 

I had the Boomtown soap(but not the A.S.). Good stuff.

 

Besides the birth year/qtr Gold Tech and razors for parts, a few things for my rotary tool, and some other things...........

 

I know its a Simpson, but I believe it's an early X2 Commodore. I already have one, but this is a much darker caramel.

 

x2 commodore.did they change the shape?

 

I don't know whether it's the precursor of the Commodore, but it's the closest I could find.

 

Yesterday I got 345 Soap Company’s Aces over 8’s shave soap and aftershave. It has a nice tobacco scent to it.

 

Thur 16th March
A bit of an impulse purchase, as I do like the Schick Super Ultrex twin blade. A card of disposable Schick Super 11 with fixed Ultrex blade on light plastic handle.
Actually Shaved with one just now- an amazingly good finish.

 

Angelo, have you ever posted a photo of your entire shave den?
