Van Winkle Special Reserve 12yo Bourbon
The Macallan 12 yo Sherry Oak
The Balvenie Doublewood

I Love the Macallan 12. I used to love the Macallen 18 until the price jumped.:crying:

[osks]

I just picked up my order from QED on some shaving stick and a cream. It was one of each lime, B&B and sandalwood sticks and a Taylor of Old Bond Street cream (Rose). Good smells all over. Can't wait to try them!

[Tinzien]

[Stauff]

tub of Vergulde Hand shaving soap :001_smile

[Newfie]

snip....
Rattray's (a Mixture I can not make out the writing)
...snip
Professional Mixture. It's on the lower side of Medium in strength, and is basically a Virginia spiced up a little with Orientals and a tad of Latakia.

[timm]

I received from QED 3 Tabac shave soap’s that I order late Friday afternoon and got it on Monday. What great services and fast delivery by Charles.

[Areler67]

Weleda ASB :cool:

[gse123]

Just acquired this Gillette Tuckaway.. not the best of conditions, but hey. Large areas of wear (not just dirt as I originally hoped). Still want to clean it up as best I can and give it a test drive though!

[DirtyDave]

I purchased two bottle of EDT from SCS, B&B Bay Rum with a Twist and Oakmoss Lavendula. Both are excellent and wife approved. :thumbup:

It is a shame Sue is discontinuing the Oakmoss. It is a very appealing scent.

[MarSellus Wallace]

Ha! That right there is buying into a brand. Great packaging they have, huh? Any favorites so far?

[TstebinsB]

I've never used them before but man, these scents are strong! When I opened the package, a potpourri of aromas hit me. I can't wait to try one later. :biggrin:

[biomesh]

Received Tues. from www.theenglishshavingcompany.com :

Trumper Coconut SS Refill
Trumper Violet SS Refill
Edwin Jagger Imitation Tortoiseshell Super Badger Shaving Brush in Medium

I now have 4 out of 6 Trumper soaps (just Almond and Sandalwood left). I'm not sure if or when I'll get to the last two. The scents just don't stand out to me like the rest. The Trumper soaps I do have are excellent. :thumbup:

The brush is similar in size to my Vulfix 2234. The loft is a bit higher and a tad more dense. The brush is not as floppy as the Vulfix and is a great deal for less than $50. :smile:

[Stauff]

Williams menthol shaving cream
Williams Aqua Velva (building stockpile, just in case WWIII erupts :biggrin: )
Wilkinson PB brush (retails at 15 EUR, found it for 2.49 EUR, must be somekind of mistake of Match warehouse. O well... :biggrin: )

[letterk]

Found a few bars of soap at TJ Maxx.

C&E Nomad
C&E Sienna
Caswell Massey Almond

[red2]

A replacement gasket for my soda siphon. We wore out the old gasket.

After spending a fortune on mineral water, we decided to put the C02 in ourselves. Bubbles are very refreshing.

[PalmettoB]

Hey Telley, how did you get a sampler from TGQ? I was looking and couldn't find it, maybe I'm just retarded.... :001_huh:

[Emilius]

Hello gents,

Today I received a box of 50 2ml samples of the marvellous "oh-my-God-it's-no-longer-available", Floris Sandalwood EdT from Carter and Bond. I will decant those into a 100ml bottle and will inform you :biggrin:.

[MarSellus Wallace]

Today I received the two TOBS Sandalwood shavecream bowls I ordered on eBay for GBP10 p&p included.

[SmoovD]

The Pinaud motherlode came in from drugstore.com.

Musk
Bay Rum
Classic Vanilla

I have to say that the Classic Vanilla is awesome. It is not vanilla, actually I don't know what the scent is but I like it.

I was also the lucky buyer of JonEDangerousli's Slant. This is gonna be good.

How are you using those Royall's-- as AS or cologne? I'm really interested in them, but just don't know what the heck they are. How long are they lasting on you.

And why don't you do a review-- we don't have any here.

Just returned from vacation yesterday and the Ayars bowl from Sara was sitting in the mail. I took some pics with the Moss Scuttle to give some perspective and I will stack them in the bathroom to save counter space. Btw, sunset at Macky's Restaurant in Ocean City MD. The crab cake wasn't bad either. :biggrin:

Glad you like it Jay! I go forth and convert the masses to the beauties of the SE razor!

Post more detailed photos of the gold razor in the safety razors forum and perhaps if we put our collective noggins together we can help you decide what it is!

That is one fine Big Fellow! Why do I feel odd saying that? I guess I've opened myself up to a salvo from Jay (ouch) if he sees this!

(Whisper to self) Let it pass....Let it pass.

It's just too easy a target! :lol: :lol:


I have a mismatched set as well. The Executive in the early 50's, I believe to have machining all the way down the handle. Where as the Aristocrat has a section, or sometimes two that is smooth. The section above the twist knob, and sometimes the last little section before the neck. The Executive I have is near mint, it has a little bit darker gold than other gold Aristocrats I've seen. Maybe the laquer is weathered on mine.

Based on this statement I believe it is an Executive. It has no smooth sections anywhere on the handle.
