[guenron]

Well the weather turned mild down here in sunny Oklahoma. Great opportunity for shopping for new shaving kit! How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

[crackstar]

well, a nice parcel from Europe came and what was in it:
1. a tube of Arko Cool shaving cream
2. a tube of Arko Commando shaving cream
3. a tube of Arko Moist shaving cream
4. a tube of Arko Sensitive shaving cream
5. a jar of Olivia Bay Rum shaving cream
6. 2 Arko shaving soap sticks
7. a bottle of Arko Commando aftershave/cologne

Now, I can say that I'll be shaving in delight and heavenly pleasure for a long, long time! :smile: :wink: :biggrin:

Not shaving related, but I did receive a VHS copy of "FM". It's not available on DVD.:mad:

Wow Jeff,

SR122, 4 1/2", 22mm knot pure badger Savile Row brush from QED.

Booster Spice Orient AS from QED.

Musgo Real AS (w/ cork label) from fellow forum member.

Feather 10 pack deal.

Hi Richard,
I find the Country Gent Mens Shaving soap (http://heavenlyharvestinc.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/46?osCsid=2a77438bc15478bd8a61234d3ad8fdd8) to be fun to use too!

Oh yeah, Richard, I'm set for a while, and I'm in shaving heaven! :smile: I think I have enough Arko stuff to last at least a year and change. You sure don't need a lot to lather up with whether it's the soap bar, or any of the creams! That's the beauty of this stuff.

Jeff

[crackstar]

Richard, I forgot to mention, I also bought a bottle of Barber Salon aftershave today, with the cork stopper. Man, this stuff smells great. :thumbup1:

Not in and of itself an exciting Score, but I got a huge box of empty sample containers today. We are ready to begin putting together the Fragrance Train, plus I have containers to share shave creams with, etc. Also thru in some nice atomizers for myself.

Hey Scotto, which atomizer bottles did you get? I was planning on getting some eventually. I wanted to try the roll-on bottle.

a bottle of Florida Water cologne. (Has anyone here ever tried that?)

Jeff

[crackstar]

Randy, do my eyes deceive me? Is that a new kind of Proraso?

Love that Florida Water! Inexpensive and delightful.. Splash it on and enjoy!

[rtaylor61]

Jeff

It's new to me! I believe they have changed the packaging for the soap. It's still green, just bad photography on my part.

Randy

[Scotto]

Today's catch: a bottle of Taylors St. James from another member and a new Tom's of Maine toothpaste in the very intense cinnamon-clove flavor.

I love the scent of that St. James - had the cream, now I have the cologne. :biggrin:

Joel,

What's behind Doors #1, 2 and 3?

Randy

[joel]

Randy - yer lookin' at samples of Musgo Cologne in #1 #2 and #3 - also - it is a lil hard to read, but there is a tiny trial shave stick of "Forest Blend"

Oh yeah - there is also a sample of T&H Ultimate Shave Cream.

[rtaylor61]

Joel,

You'll like the T&H Ultimate. Gives a very nice shave!

Randy

[crackstar]

Thanks again, Ron, I wear some Florida Water tomorrow after my shave! :smile:

I received a tub of Coate's Tea Tree from Knoxville Cigar. I realize contents shift around during delivery, but this jar looks about 1/2 full. Bummer.:frown:

Still have missed the Tea Tree scent since finishing off my Men-U face wash months ago.

Found a store in Galveston today that carries baxter prodcts so I picked up the shampoo and conditioner along with the a/s. Also picked up the proraso in a tub and the a/s balm and the cream in a can wich actually looks like it might be preety good.

[crackstar]

Chabrawichi 555 eau de cologne (imported from Egypt) it's very lemony, and refreshing!

Guys, this brush is freakin' gorgeous. The picture doesn't do it justice. After a wash and condition, check out the bloom:
