The Haul: October 15th - October 21st, 2007

Ah, Fall is finally here. (Yeah, I know....but the temperature here in South Carolina just finally caught up to the calendar!!!)

What goodies did ya get this week?

 

Ok, I will start this off. Since I have managed to get the razor aspect down pat, the blades I am far from getting down, have a lot of free samples to get through which is going to take me while. The soap I have settled on (I think), I am turning my attention to the after shaves. Got myself a bottle of Acqua Velva. Does not burn like the Skin Bracer does and its not a gel like the Afta is, I don't like the idea of using a get as an after shave. This weeks, haul thus far consists of a bottle of acqua velva. That's great stuff. I can understand why so many men like the stuff. May try old spcie or Pinaud next. My conversations with other men on this forums tell me that the three leading brands that I can get in my are are Pinaud's Clubman, Combe's Acqua Velva, P&G Old Spice. Here is a picture of my addition:

I need to add one to my list. My collection of Supper Speeds is complete. I recieved a Gillette Blue Tip Super Speed in the mail today. Horray!!! the Super Speed collection, is compelte I have one of ever model of Super Speed. The Mrs. Thinks I have taken leave of my senses but when I have paid any mind to her.

 

How many razors in total is that

 

Seven, one of each model Gillette Super Speed, with the exception of the black tip. Don't think I want one of those.

 

Sure you do. It just completes things. Come on. Give in to the RAD. It will will bug you to no end unless you do.

 

I also have a gillette speedway and gillette tech in the cabinet, but I am not too fond of three piece razors.
