The Haul: November 2020

thank you Andrew.scent is like a mild version of razorock xxx aftershave..

 

There's definitely something more in there other than their stated "moss and sandalwood" scent notes. It almost has a 4711 vibe to it, but still distinctly different.

 

i agree.scent doesn't last very long as well, but that is normal for citrus scents....nice feeling stuff.happy to have it..

 

Friday mail call is Hai Karate Oriental Spice aftershave and cologne. The bottles seem mostly full; does anyone have any idea when they packaged Hai Karate in the black plastic containers?

 

cool haul Angelo.i have only seen the older? glass ones from the late 70s/80s..

 

Just got 3 Fine Accoutrements shave soaps from West Coast Shaving today.

 

Received a couple of items this past week. I never used Murphy & McNeil before, but I can say everything has been top notch so far. I ordered these on Friday and they were delivered Tuesday! Shipping was included in price and everything was packaged nicely.

The scent of the puck is great and the artwork looks amazing. Even the classy frosted finish of the AS bottle and leather like wrap on the cap are all nice touches. I can't wait to try this set.

Thrift Store find, 50% off Saturdays. Gevalia coffee maker with insulated pot, brand new, $3.00.............

 

After getting this mismatched set, the razor is as I was hoping. The razor is a Gillette Featherweight Tech (all aluminum). The case, I'm not exactly sure, but it has all of the looks of a Hoffritz razor case, minus logo. Also included is this razor blade pendant.................

 

cool score Jim..love that tech handle..

 

Thank you Gary. It was the handle that drew my attention to the listing. And made me look at @mr-razor's site to hopefully confirm it.

 

Latest from Maggards. Some Stirling soap and a Captain's Choice copper shave bowl. Interesting that the Eucalyptus Mint has no menthol but it's quite cooling anyway.

awesome scores Herm.i love my cc shave bowl..

 

Thanks. I had a ceramic one but I'm clumsy and it broke...

Herm

 

i bought the copper one for that very reason..

 

Today I got the left hand decanter of Skin Bracer courtesy of @John Beeman. Thank you very much John for this decanter; it’s truly appreciated.

 

Another mismatched set. WW II Gillette Tech with Bakelite handle and Clix case.................

 

very cool...nice score.will acquire one at some point..want to find a mint set when possible..

 

I believe the correct thank you is “Thanks, I needed that”
