What are you waiting on to arrive...?

It sounds like you have some good hardware there, but to round it all out, you might want to try a 1940/41 Gillette Ranger Tech, a 1946/47 Gillette Aristocrat, and a 1947 Gillette Super Speed. The Ranger Tech gives a wonderfully efficient shave, as well as the other two I mentioned, but in my opinion the Ranger Tech is slightly more efficient.

A jar of Route 66 Retro Spice..

 

RaZorBurn123 I wanted to follow up with you on the fine brush. Outstanding is a word that comes to mind. Lately I've been doing face lather all the time and it excels at this. When I first pressed it to my face for this purpose It didn't immediately splay like my badger. Within seconds after adjustment I realized that for this one to splay it must be pressed with a bit more pressure initially and held directly straight whereas my badger splays at an angle. It creates lather upon lather effortlessly and spreads beautifully. I think it's partially responsible for my closer shaves lately because of it's exfoliating nature. Thanks!

 

Very good. I love synthetic brushes, they hold plenty of soap, soft, splay wonderfully and they dry very fast. I'm glad you're enjoying your new brush.

 

Within an hour of placing my order with Retro Shave Shop my order shipped. Talk about :mail:

 

I'm waiting for a jar of B&M Fireside. My first purchase in three months!
I may buy more things if I get a Maggard's gift card for Christmas!

 

royal London badger shave brush
the description said the handle was marble.

 

It all arrived.....off to shave I go!

 

arrived? they go on the haul. happy shaving.

 

Great stuff brother, go have some fun!!

 

I looked for like 5 minutes and couldn't find it. I'm assuming it's hiding right in front of my face lol....let me take another look

 

they hide once you lol at them, then you have to go to the forums and look them up or to all watched threads. then they show up again. else they hide till someone posts something new.

 

I even ran a search for it and still couldn't find it. Threads from August are popping up and I know people have bought stuff since then

Well I found it.....it hasn't been the best day for me

 

with that great haul I'm sure tomorrow will be better.

 

I find a hot towel works well to soften whiskers, especially if I don't shower prior to shaving. I wanted something larger than the average facecloth. After some internet searching I discovered barber towels.
They are big enough to cover my whole face. This is the pic from The Italian Barber website where I ordered them.


My last purchase before "No Buy 2016".

 

I've always wanted a Marvy mug, just in case I were to travel. this one came with a brush and soap.

 

I was wondering who was going to give that brush a new home. It's a great looking brush. Hard to believe it has not been used yet.

 

I'm really tempted to go buy a puck just to see why there's so much hate towards it

 

I don't dislike it, it just seems so lack luster considering what's out there. I may put it in my backup clothes nap sack. (I always keep a complete set of clothes, towel, soap, and eyeglasses In a bag, in my truck).
