The Haul: May 2015

@RaZorBurn123

 

How are the Lapas and Sputniks? What would you compare them to?

 

Both very good blades. The Sputniks are close to a Voskhod. Maybe not quite as smooth for me but otherwise very similar. I would compare Ladas to Kai. Very smooth, sharp and a great stainless blade.

 

I feel like the Sputnik are slightly less smooth than the Voskhod, but also slightly sharper. I haven't used Ladas enough to judge them properly yet.

 

Ladas are in my top five of any blade I've ever tried.

 

@HammeredThor I'd say Chiseled Faced Cryogen smells more like Vicks, you can smell the menthol with the lid closed. Right now Chiseled Face has Cryogen for $7.99, he make a mistake in the batch it turned out as a croap.

 

A rather humble mail call - a 250ml bottle of Arko Platinum cologne/aftershave.

This was a 'filler' item I added (it was $4) to get to free shipping and didn't have high expectations for it even though I love the Arko soap sticks.

Having said that - I applied some this morning as a cologne more than an aftershave and I was very pleasantly surprised. There is a strong alcohol presence but after a few seconds you get a really nice, light, fresh summery scent.

I applied it about 3 hours ago and I can still sense it. Very nice and will see how it works as an aftershave.

 

is this new? I have never seen Platinum before. I love the Arko Stick and Cream so this just might make it to my list.

 

I actually don't know if it's a new or old offering.
I bought it from here.

 

thanks. oh man I wish I would have waited. I just ordered 2 things from there and I couldn't find more stuff to make the $35 free shipping deal.

 

Maybe it hasn't shipped yet so you can cancel, re-order and add this?

 

That looks interesting as hell!

 

May I ask which shop in Spain you got this from? Living in Europe I'm always on the lookout for good suppliers in Europe.

 

You guys find stuff that's way too cool and of which I haven't heard. That being said the guy in the picture with the umbrella kind of just fell into my lap and my Omega Hi-Brush came in the mail today. My new "Man Bag" came UPS. The mango fell from the tree.

 

man bag?

 

Purse with attitude

 

A murse.

 

What you don't have a "Murse?" You've had to see them at Disney World.

 

Actually I chose it with my reward points from work. The picture looked bigger and I was sorely disappointed when it arrived today. PPG had under the "Men's Bags" section. Maybe I'll take more photos and PIF it to one of our female members.

 

I reposted the photo in the general forum for anyone wanting to participate in...

Help needed naming this Guy!!!
