Floris No.89 EdT and Soap and Castle Forbes After Shave Balm Lime E. O.
And My TIPT-LE is back from Mr R. Williams With a new set of Mammoth Ivory Scales!
Someone mentioned that the horn was nice, but a little "common" for such a blade. I agree!

Can't beat this. Wild Rose and MWF (thanks again Roger) in the same day! I don't know what to use first... I guess I'll just stare at them a little while longer.

Hello!
I'm back from Egypt!
It was a wonderful trip and It's really a country with great history! It was a present from my wife for my 40 th birtday.
As you can imagine, I tried to find some shaving products.
I found some blades : Gillette-Nacet blades (made in China) and Lord blades (Egyptian Blades)
What surprised me was that I found some Ingram SC (made in Egypt) at a chemist in Luxor. It's a small plastic tube (a bit similar to a toothpaste tube)
and It was really cheap 0.40 Eur. Otherwise I found that they are selling Palmolive cologne SC (red tube) but I didn't find other products.

Yesterday I received a tub of Taylors Avocado, about a half tube of Trumpers Violet, a cake of Honeybee Spa Rosemary/mint soap, and a tub of Mama Bear Lime Oil soap.
I'm off to my first Avocado experience! I've been highly intrigued by this stuff since day one over a year ago, but up until now have never had the chance.

It's got the Gillette logo on top but I don't know the date code off hand, I'll check it tonight though. It's in great condition and I'm not sure if it's had any use.

It is a bottle of Trumper's Eucris cologne in a spray bottle as opposed to the splash bottle. I believe it is probably a tester. The store I bought it from was selling it for $28. Since I was buying the other items, they gave it to me for $20. How could I go wrong. :wink:

Stopped by Floris on my way home today. Like a kid in a candy store. :rolleyes: I bought a box of aftershave splash since I am not really a balm kind of guy. The aftershave splash was 30% off. I believe this is the same sale price that they have on their website. Not a bad deal for some JF. The ladies there are very nice. I think Kathy went a little overboard on the No. 89 samples but who am I to complain? :wink:

I finally found that the Walmart nearby has the Personna Blades. I finally found one pack. I've been checking once or twice a week for months now. At $1.54 I had to buy it.

Got myself a Bodyshop Brush today, chose the new version with the FSC stamp on it. I'll give it a couple of tries to see if it'll work as a travel brush. Also got me a travel size tube of Bodyshop shave cream (50 ml). To my surprise the tube was relatively cheaper than either the large tube (100 ml) or the big tub (200 ml). In any case now I can bring everything but the blades as carry on :001_cool:.

Received today from Valdez (Mark), Castle Forbes Lime Oil Shaving Cream. Opened the jar and had a whiff of Lime Goodness. Will use it tomorrow and savor every bit of it I'm sure. This was one of the last things I have been wanting to try for sure.

Mike, no matter how much you think you should use... use less. It's amazing how it lathers and more so, how long it lasts. I consider it closer to a soap than a cream. Enjoy it!!
