What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Very nice

 

I got it here
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0009R354M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

but they have changed the listing on the site. On the right of the page there is an option to buy it for £6.25 which is what i paid, plus about £2.99 delivery.

It is really weird though because on Amazon the prices differ so much on Clubman products because there are so many different sellers. The prices range from around £6 to upto £20 which incredible when you consider how cheap it is in the States. I am still trying to find a cheap supplier for al the Clubman aftershaves , I think I can get the original aftershave for a decent price on Amazon but the others are a lot more expensive. Ebay had a couple of sellers selling to Europe too.

Hopefully this should arrive soon.

 

That looks great!

 

A shipment from Spain...Lavender EdT, Lavender Water and the La Toja Aftershave Locion.

 

Waiting on:

• A stainless shaving bowl from Shenzhen. Heck, it was only $2 shipped. So I'll use it as a teacup or something if it's not big enough to whip up a lather.

• my "birth year/quarter" 1967 M-2 Gillette Slim (paid $24.50 on eBay)

• a Schick Krona I bought for $6 on the 'Bay

• a 1940's Gillette Ball-end Tech (eBay)

• sampler pack of Astra, Personna and Feather blades

• H3 1962 Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip ($10.50 eBay -- may clean up and PIF it to my 22-year old son... Depends on how it compares to the 1957 C2 I cleaned up last week)

• a super-cheap gunmetal black Weishi 9306-c -- more for comparison to my other Weishi 9306-h and my MTO than anything else. Going to end up PIF'ing one of these eventually is my guess - with a decent blade instead of the stock Dorco's they all seem to ship with. Wouldn't be a good PIF, IMHO, with a Dorco blade.

• EDIT: Oh yeah, and a Gem Micromatic Original Open Comb Type Silver Tone Single Edge I just ninja'ed my way into on eBay for $3.00.

 

I finally ordered me a Turkish #6 horse hair brush. They have been out for a long time, but seem to have them back in stock.

 

Interesting link. Seem to be bargain prices -- I kind of like the looks of their acacia shaving bowl for $3.50.

 

It arrived today and the scent of the cedar is very pleasant. I already shaved so I was only able to do a bowl lather test, which proved to be exceptional. I applied some to my left hand and rinsed. I have to say that it left a nice scent, had a slick feeling to it, and left my hand feeling very soft and moisturized as compared to the other hand. If tomorrow's shave goes well this is definetly a keeper.

 

A Gem Micromatic Bullet Tip and a tube of Palmolive Classic.

Very nice. Chris does great work.

 

Energy was on my list to try...im curious to hear you opinion of the scent and strength. I know the quality is great...just so many scent choices makes it a tough decision.

 

Another batch of Barrister & Mann soaps coming my way: Anise & Vetiver, Vetiver & Sandalwood and Caledonia Rose (sandalwood & rose absolute).

 

Caledonia Rose sounds really interesting. Do post your thoughts when you get a chance!

 

Yeah, it's kind of a wildcard. The description says it didn't come out the way he had in mind, he wanted it stronger scented, and so they're selling this batch for only $15 to recoup costs and won't be making it again. But yes, I'll report back once I can try it out.

 

I do like your confidence in buying something where the maker states that;
a) It didn't come out the way I wanted, and
b) I won't make it again



Hence, me being curious

 

2 bottles of Pinaud Bay Rum
2 jars of True Gentleman shave cream Cedar and unscented ( based on a friends recommendation)
1 Vintage German DE travel razor and case

 

With all the different scents I found myself overloaded. I first went with root beer, once I saw energy I had to have it.

 

I just ordered this on the bay. The seller claims it is unused and the blade pack has never been opened.
