Haha, this thread convinces me that cartridge razors and canned stuff is way cheaper.

Been a good week since a lot of my stuff arrived.

Beautiful brushes and razors!

I'm trying to decide how nice of a brush I want to get to upgrade from my Proraso Omega. Everytime I see a picture of someone's B&B brush I think that maybe I should hold off on buying a brush until the 2007 B&B brushes come are available to order (I'm assuming that there will be 2007 B&B brushes and razors).

Yeah, but you've got to admit, this stuff looks way better whilst shaving than a utilitarian cartridge razor and canned goo!

Purchased on Feb. 14th - Gillette - Azul Aco Inox - Gillette do Brasil Ltdo.

Blue Inox
Produced in stainless steel, with wire coated with a special material that reduces the consuming and provides one to shave softer.

On my recent trip to Brazil, I happened to forget to pack my Derby blades , and had to search out DE blades. The Blue Inox blades were all that I could find, as South America... or, at least Brazil... has also fallen prey to the multi-blade market, just like in the US.

The Blue Inox blades actually gave me a close, comfortable shave.

In this afternoon's mail:

1 4oz container of "Very V" shaving cream
1 3" cake of Shea-Butter Avocado-Oil shaving soap
1 3.3oz atomizer of "Very V" EDT

I also purchased three Gillette 3-piece razors on eBay this week, but will refrain from posting photos of them until they arrive and I've had a chance to clean-up any shmootz.

Yes, my RAD is under control: three Schick Injector SEs and four Gillette DEs. So is my SCAD/SSAD. But my gold-plated 1930s "New Gillette" Special really shines!

 

[Ernie]

Man, that must be one of the best $13 a man has ever spent.

Yeah, but you've got to admit, this stuff looks way better whilst shaving than a utilitarian cartridge razor and canned goo!

My acquisitions? B&B finest horn came yesterday! Yay! and a Garantie 4/8 spike point won on eBay!

Oh I know.

My purchase list this week

-Shavemac 977 Pure from VB
-Thayer's Rose Petal witch hazel, Alba Coconut Lime shaving cream, and KMF Lavender creme

A local health store here has all kinds of MKF cremes on sale for $4.29. I need to resist temptation.

Today I was out scouting the CVS's in the eastern Twin Cities metro area and came back to Badgerland with quite a haul. I picked up the one and only red palmolive for $0.75 along with the last two bottles of Old Spice Pure Sport AS splash in the big 6.75 oz frosted glass bottles for $1.95 each! They also had 7 or 8 small tubes of Gillette SPF15 facial moisturizer for $1.65 each so I picked up 3 of those on a whim. My original plan was to get some Pinaud Clubman AS, but once I saw all these clearance items, I was on them like stink on :9898: .

To top it all off, I was standing in line to check out and the woman in front of me notices my Old Spice and tears out a manufacturer's coupon for a dollar off! Then when I finally got home, I was reviewing my reciept...he only charged me for one bottle. This was an honest mistake and, had I caught it at the store, I would have said something, but...yay me!
