What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Apparently, that's the best part. Quoting from the description on Amazon:

 

This is in Garry's sample shop. I'm thinking of adding it to my list when I get a sample of the Veg. Still need to decide on a few more to make the shipping worth it.

 

Great classic scent. The Blue cologne is really nice too.

 

The heavy glass bottles with bakelite caps are worth SEK 750

 

OK so an update. I'm waiting on:
2 se blade samplers from tryablade.
A pack of Chinese Schick injector blades
A pack of Personna injector blades
a type C Schick injector razor
a type B Schick injector razor
A Stahly live blade with an unworking handle
a whipped dog 20mm synthetic in a burgundy handle
a whipped dog blemished poor man's strop kit
a sample of Mitchell's Wool Fat soap
an unknown to me straight razor from a forum member

I don't think I'm forgetting anything. I may order a few aftershave samples from Garry's sample shop but I may wait awhile too. I had a ton of overtime on my check and I feel like @Darkbulb with all these packages coming in.

 

After looking at a number of them in the wild, most of which had serious issues, I would say it was a good investment.
*PS. Please put my name in your "first dibs" column of your spreadsheet for this bad boy....

 

Ordered a strop today.

 

Italian Barber Shaving Soap - Rosa di Bossolasco and a RazoRock Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush.

 

Yeah, I couldn't pass up one of those "Plissoft" brushes for only $10, I've got one coming, too. Also a Zi'Peppino balm and a cheap Omega banded boar that I'm going to harvest the knot from for a project.

 

Couldn't decide between the three L'Occitane EdT I've been wanting so I bought em all.



The Cade was offered in a gift set with a bar of soap and shower gel for $4 more.

 

Picked up a Truefitt&Hill gift set for 30-something-dollars.

The brush is labelled "Mini Super Badger Hair Brush Ivory" and has a SKU of 10001.
The soap is their 1805 shaving cream. The seller mentioned that it appeared half-used but after further inquiry it appears that it might also be unused. Will see when it gets here.
The brush holder is labelled "Bath and shower shaving brush stand"

I wasn't able to find the exact gift box online but still feel it was a decent price.
Also, never tried any of their products so that'll be fun.

 

I've wanted to try Dr. Jon's soap for quite some time, so I ordered a tin of Aphrodite shaving soap. I've read nothing but good things.

 

I snagged my white whale last night. Waiting on a Rubberset 400 #4 to restore. This will complete the 400 trilogy for me and put my Brush Acquisition Disorder into remission for the time being.

 

were you the one who got that one on ebay for less than $100? with the cut short knot?

 

Yes it was me. I was ready to go higher but lucked out.

 

I watched it but it left my bank accounts ability to keep up yesterday afternoon. I still think I'll wait on a good clone or get one in the wild. I live close to the brushmeister @Jayaruh so I'll need to beat him to it if one can be found locally.

 

Congrats Clint - finally a #4!

 

Thank you. I am pretty excited about getting it. Now I'll have to agonize over what knot to install but at least that's an easier problem to solve.

 

Original look was boar right? Longish with an almost flat top?

 

I think so. I have one that I used an Omega Boar knot to restore. Given what these handles cost, I am pretty sure I will use a very nice badger knot.
