OMG ..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :biggrin:

RONTLMFAO.

PM me if you didnt get that one...

[jduffy]

Livin' large, huh?

Hey, I'm trying to keep the addiction to a minimum. I've seen where it's taken people like you to. Say hello Betty Ford Shaving Clinic.

Actually it was a gift from a fellow shaver. I was able to get him to part with one blade and that took a lot of talking for a blade swap. What can I say? He loves his Israelis.

:biggrin:

[khari]

Picked up a Simpsons Harvard 6 from Lee's Razors. This brush is a lot bigger than I expected!

[J_P_K]

I've been planning on getting to Target to pick up the Proraso (Omega) brush and a tube of Proraso cream as part of a "welcome to DE shaving" kit for my son-in-law. I was visiting a friend at her very "girly" gift shop and among the soap products I spotted an "Omega Shaving Brush & Soap Set". The brush looks to be the usual Omega bore that we see at Target and the included "soap" is a tub (5.2 oz.) of Proraso cream. It also includes a brush stand. $17.99

[Suzuki]

Great starter set up - I think the soap in a tub is better than the tube, although I enjoy both very much.

[Dinder1]

Great starter kit, and for under twenty clams.:thumbup1:
Cheers, DJ.

Jealousy rears its ugly head...... :eek: Wanna trade? :biggrin: :biggrin:

[PalmettoB]

Sweet looking Edwin Jagger razor, that's for sure! Waiting on a Gillette Aristocrat won from eBay. Will post pics here if I get it before Sunday.:biggrin:

[castlecraver]

That's just a phenomenal-looking razor. I hope it shaves as great as it looks!

[Dennis]

I was really surprised myself. I didn't quite know what to expect, but it is a seriously nice razor. The head is an HD head, so it will be interesting to see how it shaves with the extra weight. I am thinking it will be nice... :001_tt2:

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

[19george]

So the doorman asks me whats up with all the packages I've been receiving lately.

I tell him I have a meth lab in my apartment:ciappa: .

Todays goodies (courtesy of QED) are:
Taylor's Rose cream
Taylor's Almond cream
Qed man French Green Clay
Qed man Da Vinci Water
MaleFace moisturizer

Edit: and a sample of T+H 1805 cream

[dszpiro]

Here it is, Wednesday, and I am posting news of my first purchase of the week. Hmmm...I wonder if something is wrong with me: I am off to a much slower start than I was last week! :wink:

Today's goodies include a Mama Bear's "Gentlemen's Blend (New Recipe)" shaving soap (what a lovely scent!) and a Kent BK12 brush in pure badger. The second shot shows the BK12 taking its place of honor alongside my C&E Edwin-Jagger, Omega, and Taylor's.

After some careful analysis and extensive consultation in dictionaries and a thesaurus, I can safely offer the following description of the BK12: FREAKIN' HUGE! :ohmy: I picked this up from CraigK from the B&B selling forum. I am not sure if I will use it tomorrow or wait until an opportunity where three or four other people are shaving with me! :biggrin:

Cheers,

[Mama Bear]

This just came in from Carlos Moreno as a gift to me.. Thank you so much Rod.. The bag is open because I couldn't wait to sniff it. I am actually posting this thank you BEFORE making the coffee.... Thank you, thank you, thank you

Sweet brush Danny. I'd say you're brush rich at this point. When you think you have too many, be sure and spread the wealth! A lot of posters can provide a home for a wayward brush around here.

It is very hard to admit to being brush-rich when you are suffering from SBAD. Even before I have had a chance to lather-up the BK12 I am enticed by this new posting for a Kent T12 (http://www.badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6515). But don't worry: if I ever decide to look for new homes for these babies the members of B&B will be the first to know! :wink:

Not a big day or anything but I did receive some samples from Pecksniff's and Gendarme.

You are more than welcome. I remember a while back you sent one of our soldiers deploying to the Middle East one of your containers for free. This is paying it forward :001_smile Enjoy and don't stay up too late:biggrin:

Rod, I will definately pay it forward! But there was another gentleman Roger Blake who actually paid for the whole shipment for our soldier. I sent Roger some custom labeled jars for it, but don't want to take credit where it is not deserved.

I have to tell you tho, I have the best caffeine buzz right now I have had since I lived in Miami and drank caffe cubano every morning..! :scared:

NICE fatboy,congratulations! whats the datecode on that? she looks MINT!

[brando]

Thanks! It's a 1959. I really lucked out. It looks like it has never been used. Are some years better than others? Or are they all about the same?

You are about as golden as it gets my friend!:biggrin:

[brando]

It's an E-2. Second Q of 1959. Is there much difference between quarters?

Not really -I have found that e-1 and e-4 are the least common...Good luck with your razor enjoy it and your grandchildren can look forward to using it.

Lovely brush Randy!

I have been intrigued by the Corian handles on the brushes from Superior. What are they like in your hand? Are they heavy? Are they easy to grip when wet or covered in lather?

Thanks,
Danny

[jazzbass]

1 Plisson Alum Block
1 Tub of Tabac Original Shave Soap

Stopped into Colonial Drug to get an alum block, and saw a tub of Tabac Original Soap. One sniff and I was hooked. :001_tt1:

It is my first soap, and first alum block, so I am very interested to see and feel the results

[rtaylor61]

Not heavy at all, but there is a bit of heft. Like comparing a Merkur HD Classic with a Merkur thin Long Handle. More importantly, these brushes are well balanced. The longer handle is great for whipping up lather. This is my second brush, my 4th to use...I'll own more. I'll use this the rest of the week and post up a review.

After a few months fighting it, I found out... SCAD's gonna getcha!!

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=3790

Salter: Sandalwood, Citrus, Mint
TOBS: St. Charles, Mr. Taylor, Shaving Shop
QED Soap: Lavender, Peppermint, Tangerine & Spearmint, Wild Orange

QEDman: French Green Clay, After Shave Conditioner

The Salter's smell OK, but will probably come out better once I lather them.

Those TOBS smell awesome in the tub (yes! all of them are great)

Tomorrow's SOTD is gonna be tough!

Nice Haul!

As Joel would say, "Jealousy has reared its ugly head" :lol:

[catatonic]

Just got my 5/8 J.A. Henckels Twin Works "70-1/2" straight today. Fantastic condition (got it off Ebay). The blade is nicely grayed, and the handles have some thumbnail like indentations, but other than that is perfection...it even came nice and sharp.

I will definately be using it on my next shave to see how I like it!

[jduffy]

Hey Aaron, after you cornered the market like that, what are the rest of us supposed to use? :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

The Salter's smell OK?!? You obviously didn't take a very good whiff of that Citrus then. How dare you be so non-committal about such an olfactory delight. Whoooooa nelly, thats some awesome stuff. :biggrin: :001_tongu

Oh! No offense Pat... like I say I've found that sniffing the cream/soap right in the container doens't relay it's true flavor!:smile:

I'm sure the stuff its grrrreat!:biggrin:

Too bad it'll take me a while to get to it! Just a personal problem....:biggrin:

[dszpiro]

I have picked-up a few razors off eBay lately, so I decided to get one of these to use in their sterilization. I bought this at the local Sally's Beauty Supply. They did not carry the smaller versions, but I thought that this large size jar actually offers the most flexibility. I filled only the bottom 6" or so for sterilizing the razors.

I plan on doing a review. Today was my first time using it. I'll probably let everyone know what I think about it sometime next week after a few more uses.

Picked up a Merkur Slant today from my local Pipe/Tobacco shop. Paid a bit more than from say, lee or CS. But Hey, brick and mortar and instant gratification!

Also got some Penhaligons Hammam Bouquet from SLCSTEVE on the way.

A decant from Scotto of Guerlain Vetiver.

Already spent too much, too much!

[Lyrt]

I got the missing part of my order from TGS. AoS Bergamot Hair Gel. It’s like Robert read my mind as I found a bunch of samples of Acca Kappa’s colognes which I wanted very much.

:smile:

This is what I like about B&B reviews on the whole. People are willing to give a product some time before they come to their final conclusion. This fosters reviews that are much more even in their criticism, whether they be good or bad.

Look forward to reading yours.

[crackstar]

I like it a lot, though I don’t have your talent. But I’m learning, I’m learning… I recently bought a macro lens and I agree with your statement a lack of zoom forces you to think more about what you’re going to photograph.

[SSLStudio]

What is this the postman was already here this morning,somehow some special courier must have droven by and dropped the package in my mailbox without me knowing.. I must build me an alarm system so that some red light lights up when someone opens the lid of the mail box....

Oh boy Cracked up the Star............

Thanks Jeff ! :a14:

[SSLStudio]

Yesterday the samples from India arrived from Anherb.

- Aftershave gel

I can really advice you the same Scotto ! get the Troday its easy no more time waisting...

[Scorpio]

one tub Taylor's Avocado

one tub Taylor's Lavender

Samples of Coral skin food and Hydrolast thanks to Charles and his lovely wife. I spent some time with both of them and I will say it was very pleasant and not one attempt to sell me any of his stuff. He went as far as complementing my shaving tools and choices of creams. we talked about blades, razors and brushes. He mentioned he is working on some new products that will porbably be on the market by late October. A very pleasant visit indeed.

I am sitting in my hotel room in Boston at the moment without my camera so no photos today.

I just came back from a walk through Copley Place. There are lots of great stores to visit in that large shopping mall / complex: C&E, l'Occitane, AOS, and Bigelow. In addition, stores like The Body Shop, Sephora, Saks, and others also have shaving supplies. I picked up the following:

AOS:
- Lemon shaving cream tub
- Lemon ASB

C&E:
- $35 Edwin-Jagger Best Badger brush

- l'Occitane
- Shaving stick ("Haemostatic & Astringent")
- Tube key
- CADE shaving cream tube
- CADE after shave

Cheers,

Jim,

Can you tell me where this coffee is from? Following a few suggestions from some gentlemen on the forums, I am looking for a quality Sumatra coffee. A low acid coffee will let me enjoy coffee without acid reflux problems.

Thanks.
