Toasty Slim Adjustable in an amazingly nice case. Cheers to Papasmurf for that. Equally sweet looking red-tip in an equally nice case. eBay Sunday nite special. Just waiting now for my bag of sample goodies from Trumper.

Very nice MT! Puts mine to shame...
You are gonna give it a workout or two in February, right? :thumbup1:

It just gave me a wonderfully close shave! Although I still prefer the President's grip this razor is just simply gorgeous. I sure will throw it in the February lineup.

Dave, I don't know what kind of deal you swung with Charles but I saw the chamber maids at a Best Western in Little Rock, Arkansas putting two of these on every bed. :wink:

[johnniegold]

The Speick and the German Pitralon are from Smallflower. I am very excited to try the German Pitralon. It smells much different from the Swiss Pitralon. A fresher, cleaner scent. The Trumper Sandalwood I picked up on my home. I gotta start taking a different route home. :rolleyes:

[MTgrayling]

A tub of QED Wild Rose shaving soap from a fellow member. Wow! I love the scent of this soap, too bad it is a limited edition.

[Suzuki]

A good couple of days:

From Timmy Boston who's been holding onto this stuff for me until I could get it shipped to me in the US:
16047

Yes, that's a full bottle of Floris Sandalwood :w00t:

In fact, that was the last bottle the US company had in stock!

From Letterk - 100 Crystals, 100 Dorcos and 100Red Personnas.

16048

And finally, from Japan Woodworker, a 7 and 3/4 Masahiro Chinese style cleaver - high carbon sandwiched between stainless steel.

16049

This is the light pattern that is only 1/16th of an inch thick, so it should be great for slicing. I'm quite keen to try this out.

A colleague and I are in San Francisco on business and since he's a woodworker, we decided to trek out to the JW store - what a great place and excellent staff - well worth the effort if you're looking for Japanese knives, or a sharpening stone or several.

Sorry for the crap pictures - phone camera.

[St0ne]

Tried the Luxury soap tonight, can't say I was impressed but we'll see how we go after few more.

Hanging out to get my Gillettes and try them out with these too.

[Reddobie]

Received Friday.:em2300:

[IanF]

On a business trip in Montreal and dropped into a drug store. Scored a tub of Proraso pre-shave. I ran out a while back so this is a treat to be restocked.

[AaronX]

I got a NOS 20 pack in dispenser of Gillette Blue Blades still sealed in box and everything, a 41 Ranger Tech in case (case is ok but razor is excellent), slim adjustable also in excellent condition and a 58 fatboy for parts (it was $1 and I could not resist).

I received an interesting Gillette Bakelite box today. It is large at 6 1/4 X 3 1/8" and is too big for a razor. If anyone has any information about what this may have contained I'd appreciate it. I plan to store my blades in it.

That is an interesting razor, How does it shave? And most importantly, how much does it weigh?

[Sabledog]

Special thanks to Scoopster, B&B, QED, and Ebay!! :thumbup1:

[TomH]

Thomas,

how did the soaps perform?

Hello Momo,

let me say it in this way, they aren't explode when the brush touches the surface, you have to do a little more work on the soap and in the mug.
But I tell it once again, this handcrafted soaps are a manifestation relating to the skincare and the skin feeling after the shave.

For me is this issue one of the most important in using handcrafted soaps like WARO or OLIVIA's...

Hope that helps and have a nice Sunday everybody.:wink:

[gatorfan]

The razor weighs a ton!

I am working on it to repair the spring, in the meantime I transferred the head to my handle for one of my Merkurs and shaved with it using a Wal-Mart Personna.

The head design feels like there is a "roller" instead of a blade guard, and I had to work a little to get a BBS shave. My easiest BBS is with my Future set at 3.5.:rolleyes:

[Taz]

Got my 2 tubs of Violetta:w00t: Thanks Sir
