The Haul: November 2021

November 2021! We don't do No Shave November here! Instead, we double up on our shaves! Shave twice a day just because! This is the way! And that means we need more shaving goodies!! So let's see what you have gathered this month!

 

First on the board for November!

In from Johannesburg, South Africa:

Monday’s mail call is from Maggard Razors; I got Ach Brito Lavanda edc and Lea Shave soap in wooden bowl.

 

Vintage Spice sounds great!

 

Thanks so much!

It seems to be an exact copy of the Shulton Old Spice!

I actually got these on Saturday, but didn't have time to post it. The ones on the right still have their after shave/cologne in them. Thanks to @Dave in KY............

 

The Tarmax SE has arrived................

 

@Trigger told me about that Maggard knot earlier. I may well look into it.

 

I'll admit I got a giggle out of this.

Where to start. I've been on an absolute tear lately on a certain auction site. I hadn't been paying attention but it occurred to me that many sellers will combine orders to save on shipping which, when buying a $10-$20 vintage razor, paying $5-$10 in shipping adds a lot to the acquisition cost. Anyway, yet another way for me to justify spending money on razors. One seller had a number of very nice user-grade razors, mostly GEMs that I have yet to try so I went ahead and bought them all along with a Schick injector and yet another Schick Krona (just in case!).







I hadn't heard of an Ever-Ready Shovelhead. It is such a neat little guy, with a flip over head. The handle is a tad on the small side for me but it gets the job done.







And lastly, I hadn't yet checked Facebook's marketplace so I poked around and found a King C. Gillette razor and 20 blades for a steal so I just had to grab it as well. I already have one so I'll probably gift it to a friend.

 

My order from PAA came very early this morning.
