Got a shipment from Charles:

Tubs of QED Lavender and Frankincense & Myrrh soap

A tub of Taylor's Sandalwood shave cream

A T&H shave soap

and a bag of the French green clay.

I think next time I order more supplies I'm taking the tour: Trumpers, DR Harris, Mitchell's Wool Fat, Institute Karite, etc. That'll probably be about the time I get my new razor from Robert Williams.

Recent arrivals of FLORIS Santal EDT from both Pete and Garfinkel....Very pleased that I now have many years worth of Santal in my bathroom. Oh.... and expecting a bottle of FLORIS 89 from Hawkeye..... I guess I'm sorta SET on "smelly stuff."

Nice Mike..
Speaking of smelly stuff, there's lots of great scents in here, to go along a new Rooney.....many thanks to Charles at QED, Jim at Vintage Blades, and John at Ogallala Bay Rum (as well as the nice lady at L'Occitane who gave me a bunch of samples for SWMBO). Jim also threw in some Harris cream samples with the brush and John some of Ogallala's bath soaps.

That QED B&B soap is some nice smellin' stuff....:wink:

Cool set! Maybe the missing item is a small hone?

bjrn

01-08-2008, 01:05 PM

Thanks. :)

The seller suggested that as well, but that would make a hone that's 6x25x165mm (~ 0.23x1x6.5 inch). And I think that would be really, really thin for a hone. But at the same time I can't think of anything else either, so I guess it could be a hone.

Not great pictures esp the second but they are beautiful blades. Jim remember the one came out beautiful.

I don't know what's really "mint" or not, but I'd say I got:

A mint Slim in case with instructions and blades for $2.00 at an antique store.

My friend got a mint Red Tip for $1.00 at an antique store.

Also, I got a bunch of straights. And a Speedway somethingerother in an Aristocrat case for $5.00

Cool!!

The neurotic in me wants to take all the razors out of your rack and arrange them from longest to shortest, or perhaps a bell-curve sort of pattern if I could make it even enough on both sides. :biggrin:

Plisson European White Badger #12 with Antique Brass handle, courtesy of Fisherc.

LOVE it. Really different than my other brushes (Savile Row 3318, Dovo Silvertip, Kent BLK4). It much more scrubby, but in a good way. It feels solid, and densely packed. I am very fond of it. If these were all cars, I would say the Kent was a Bentley. The Dovo an Audi TT. The SR 3318 an MG. But, I can't quite place the Plisson.

Some really cool mid 30's matchbook razors. The first disposables I guess.

Did you have a shedder originally?

01-11-2008, 10:19 AM

I have collected these over the years- but just this week I received a Japanese Puzzle Box- always fun and the craftsmanship is very good-

Found a new supplier on the Internet and he is more than helpful in answering questions and finding what will fit your requests.

Hopefully this PBAD will not be as bad as the rest.... who am I kidding:biggrin:

I picked up a puck of William's in Quebec. I know, not thrilling but after having my bags delayed for two days and having very unsatisfying shaves that puck of William's was a mighty welcomed find.

Jay, have you picked the music you will listen to when you shave with this razor.

May I suggest Nefertiti by Miles Davis. Vinyl, of course.

Excellent suggestion! I had been thinking Muddy Waters, but Miles Davis hadn't come to mind.

DOVO Shavette w/ long blades, 2 awesome shaving bowls, my long deceased grandfather's Dopp kit (which I plan to restore and then use, as he would have wanted), 15 IP's from Dollar General, and finally some AV Musk.

I also scored my father a satin Futur, Feather Blades and a Vulfix 2234. Get this, I actually converted my father into a wetshaver instead of the other way around. He doesnt exactly know why he likes it but he loves it.

Bob, Don,

I really had to look. Finally had to go to a good friend. I have in my hands an almost mint condition 180g vinyl Nefertiti. Which side do you recommend? I'm not familiar with this particular album.

Ookla The Mok

01-12-2008, 01:55 PM

As with most jazz I would recommend starting at the intended beginning. I am of the belief the album itself is the piece of music, not the song.

A synthetic Vulfix from Shaving Essentials (along with some lovely samples). I can warmly recommend Shaving Essentials, they're really nice to do business with.

And a few days ago I got the same kind of hone as Jay got above.

Jost found a C&E store I didn't know existed in Windsor, Ontario.

So I picked up a puck of Sienna and a tube of the same scent cream.

Snagged 2 tubes of C&E Sienna shave cream as well as a Meuhl and Pinsell Shaving bowl at the Kitchener C&E today. They are closing and had a 50% off sale. If I had more cash I would have cleaned out the brushes and sold them here for a tidy profit.
I looked for some Sweet Almond cream but someone beat me to it today.
