QED Wild Rose! :thumbup:

[jramire2]

woo hoo! My order from Spain arrived today, and I needed a pick me up since I wasn't able to score a C&E BBB this weekend during the 20% off sale.

In my order

1 - huge 300ml bottle Floid Suave aftershave
1 - huge 300ml bottle Floid Vigoroso aftershave
1 - slightly smaller 150ml bottle Floid Vigoroso aftershave (for someone else)

6 La Toja Shave sticks
6 Lea Shave sticks
1 fancy pants La Toja Shave soap puck w/fancy pants wooden bowl and fancy pants cork stopper

I have been waiting so long to try this stuff, tomorrow is going to be an excellent morning. Hopefully it will help keep my mind off of the head cold I have and the 14 hour workdays I've been putting in.

A big kudos to emilius for going out of his way to get all of this stuff for me. Thanks bud!

Mark,
I see a BathTub Gin stick in that lot. Was this a direct order from QED? A number of folks might be interested in whether this is now part of the standard QED linup.

Enjoy!

Yes, it was an order from Charles at QED. From what I can tell, BathTub Gin in the stick is part of QED's standard line. You can not get the BathTub Gin in the jar.

That's beautiful, Jim. Nice score.

Thats a beautiful brush Jim. Is it the lighting or is the color of the hairs dark? Really high score on the Drool-o-meter. :em2200:

Its a European Grey I guess you could call it a "best" if you wanted to compare it to another maker but the hair is so resilient and soft at the same time that its not quite accurate. The tortoise handle is very nice as well but is hard to photograph. Thanks,

Today from VintageBlades:

Rooney Style 1, Size 1 Super
T&H 1805 ASB
Col. Conk Super mug
Col. Conk Almond soap
Thayers Lavender
Thayers Rose

[Groundhog]

Snagged one of those nifty Darwin safety razors at the antique market this past weekend.
Also a Super Speed in the box from ebay; a bit of a gamble in that you had to take the seller's word the razor was in the box and had no idea what kind of shape it was in.

[copperhead]

Nice score Scott

After taking my 11 year old lad to the dentist :eek:

I called in TK Maxx as it was my birthday

They had 150g tubs of Taylors' "Mr Taylor" and "St James' Collection" for a fiver

I said to him: "Which one?"

He sniffed....................









He chose "Mr Taylor"

Road test in the morning :wink:

Agreed,

"Little 'un said that I should have both of them" :biggrin:

[biomesh]

Well, this week I have received:

Speick Edc
Speick shave stick x 2
Crabtree & Evelyn BBB (to replace my vulfix turnback brush as my travel brush)

With most new scents my wife goes "that smells ok" or doesn't even notice. With the Speick however, 9 hours after applying 2 sprays, she noticed it and starts sniffing. She goes "is that something new?", and I say "Do you like it?". She said "it makes you smell like a man".

She went on to say that her favorite is still Cool Water, but the Speick is a close second. I have the A/S and cream on their way to complete the set :biggrin: Did I mention I really like Speick?

You can never say it enough! :thumbsup:

A nice Shave King "Self-lubricating" open comb razor and Tech open comb razor from another member.

The Shave King is interesting in that it has slits in the head to improve glide and they seem to work. Very nice first shave - slightly different head angle required than the Gillette and Merkur 3-piece razors.

The Tech is very aggressive and I'll have to play with this one for a bit before deciding whether it goes into the rotation or into the BST.

[Stauff]

You can never say it enough! :thumbsup:

Amen, Brother. :yesnod:

An Aristocrat Jr. man what a massive piece of metal that thing is!
What beautiful engineering those Brits put into designing that chunk of brass.
