I called the C&E online 800 number about the EJ BBB which is out of stock and they had a B&M store that has the brush in stock call me. (The online store said they won't have the brush back in stock until around the middle of March.)

When the B&M C&E called I ordered the brush over the phone and added enough shaving soap to get free shipping.

I got my blade assortment from letterk Friday and have been waiting to begin using any of them until my new razor showed up. I used up the very last of my old blades this morning.

I went to the mailbox this afternoon and there was my new Merkur Classic 1904 from QED waiting for me. (Dang, that was fast!!!) Now I have a new razor and 50 new blades to start trying out tomorrow morning.

Also, my case of Palmolive red tube shaving cream is well on its way and I bought 3 more tubes of Proraso green tubes this afternoon.

Now I can slow down for a while, wait for some more stuff to arrive, and enjoy what I have for a while.

Does anyone else on here think that wet shaving is addicting?

Uh yah

The hard part is keeping it in perspective. It's just shaving, you get to do it again tomorrow...and, avoid letting the acquisition disorders get you in hot water with the rest of your family.

Yep, it's just shaving but it's enjoyable shaving. I'm keeping it in perspective. I just shaved my beard off about 9 days ago so it's fun getting stocked up on supplies. There are so many new products since I last shaved with a DE razor. Stuff I never knew about 20 years ago.

**johnniegold** · 02-20-2007, 05:11 PM

Hey Don, that Aristocrat is a beaut. Nice blade disposal too.

1 bottle each: Clubman Bay Rum AS & Special Reserve AS

Hopefully arriving later in the week:

Snagged a Fatboy in the case off the 'bay that went under the radar.....
gambled a little because the pic wasn't great and the lid was cloudy.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...9110&rd=1&rd=1
Got really lucky ....it needed very little cleaning and polishing.
......along with the 10-pack of Feathers from Cotton Blossom.

This other was a gift from my father-in-law....it belonged to his dad, who is still alive at 102. He thinks my new hobby is pretty cool (unlike his daughter

) and brought this over Tuesday. I love the last line of the manual.
