What are you waiting on to arrive...?

well it's been a productive afternoon for my online shopping.
first I liked route 66 enough to re-up into
I'm pretty stoked with the first one, can't wait to smell this one.
next I rounded out my pinaud collection with vanilla and lime sec

 

pics of lime
and finally 100 Astra sp's they have provided me several good shaves in a row.
someone help,I think I'm becoming @swarden43 , GET OFF MY LAWN.....

 

Waiting for a type A repeating razor, coming from Tennessee.

 

'Bourbon Jungle' is refreshingly nice, as is 'The Perfect Gent'.
The 'Sweeney Todd' (orange/woodsy) scent is one I'm currently enjoying.

 

are the gent and Sweeny similar?

 

Similar in 'citrusy' & 'woodsy' notes, I suppose, but quite distinct from each other—at least to THIS nose.
A Perf Gent: ...with citrus notes of yuzu, bergamot and lemon; mid notes of peppercorn, ginger, jasmine and a hint of peppermint….oils of cedar, vetiver, labdanum, frankincense and patchouli.
Sweeny Todd:... the aroma of delicious Sicilian blood oranges, with their signature spicy berry undertone, blended with a hint of fir, warmed on a rich woody base.

 

Just ordered

 

thanks, love the gent. actually had to look up yuzu. great scent
I'm guessing by reading that Sweeny is leaning a bit more toward berry?

I tried to go another way with my second choice.

 

More 'sweet orange' than 'berry'
'Bourbon Jungle' is more floral and spice to this user's nose. Pleasing scent.

 

Scored a Schick type A. I happened upon the listing right after it posted and was fortunate the seller accepted my offer without much hestitation.

I have now completed the trifecta.

 

Congrats!

 

Word of the day? Yuzu

 

Do post a family photo when you get a chance

 

My Type C is coming from Europe and the Type A is coming from the States, so Im guessing I wont be doing any family photo's until early Dec.

 

"Then you'll know your ABCs...."

​

 

My first, really excited about it I also just bought a strop from a user but I don't have any pics yet

 

Very nice.
Does it come shave ready or are you having to hone it/have it honed?

 

The guy said is shave rady, he described his honing technique and said that he stropped, tested and disinfected it. I'm pretty confident that it will be as he said because he recommended straight razor place to me since it's my first one. Doing just that he earned my trust but I'll find out next week when it comes in

 

Do post a shave report Exciting stuff

 

I had some blades say shave ready that came in he even described his hone progression but he left chips in one blade and never set a bevel on one more. The last blade came almost shave ready and after some time on a pasted balsa strop it really was shave ready. I tend to not trust sellers unless I know them. Then I almost don't trust them.
