Acquisitions Monday Mar 27 - Sunday Apr 02

[guenron]

Greetings followers of SCAD, RAD, SBAD and all of the other delightful shaving acquisition obsessions. I have that feeling that acquisitions may slow slightly before the upcoming income tax deadline.. Just remember, while it may be too late to provide additional charitable deductions for last tax year, there's plenty of time to make them (especially to the old age home for wayward lathermeisters ) for this year!
Good shaving and good shopping!

Hello,

my acquisition for this week (I hope it'll be arrive tomorrow):

I've bought an EdT, from Ebay, called "Grigio Perla" (La Perla, Morris Inc.) a rare scent, which is not more listed.

I think it's a great scent, I had a sample as a present for my birthday, about 3 years ago and I've searched the whole time for it

Now I've had the luck to find it on Ebay , feel great now...

Hello Gentlemodes,

by accident I won a Fatboy Razor for $16 something but the seller only accepts Cash/Cheques well since im in the Netherlands it doesnt make sense to send him cash. anyone up for it should contact me A.S.A.P I can hook you up.

im also sending the the next highest bid guy a text if he wants to take it over but I thought perhaps someone here might enjoy the razor aswell...

I dont know if this is the right place to put this advert. I want as many traffic as possible to perhaps make a newbie happy or collector.

Moderator you have my permission to move the adv. if needed.

Has anybody here ever tried Caswell-Massey #6 cologne? I just bought some today, I admit I'm not a fan of their shaving creams or soaps, but this cologne seems like it could have a little potential.

I got the Greenbriar from Rik. Man, that's some strong stuff. I personally like it. I haven't tried the #6 yet. I e-mailed CM and requested samples of their colognes. We'll see what happens.

Imagine my surprise to come home from work today and find that an order I placed on Monday had already arrived. Thanks Classic Shaving!



For quite some time now, I have been eyeballing these two items. I've wanted a slant bar for about 4 months now, but based on some advice from a more experienced shaver, I forced myself to wait until I had my technique down cold. I originally thought the chrome model was a better looking razor but after seeing Andrew's gold Hoffritz, I was bitten by the bug.

I have been intrigued by the Dominica Bay Rum Lime Cologne since Christmas, but at the time I had 4 Pinaud scents and 7 Crusellas scents on the way and decided to wait. It is here, and it is phenomenal. When the bottle was first uncorked, I was truly swept away. I had to put the cork in my mouth to keep from drinking it.

I am really looking forward to shaving with the slant and finishing with this great scent.

[Austin]

Kyle, very nice buys. Let us know how the slant bar shaves.

Hey Ron,

I see you went back to your roots, nice grab! I am loving my Lime and Lemon/Lime Caswell-Massey. I also got the Jockey Club but have only sampled the cologne and a/s balm, maybe I will use it today. Do you find it is the same scent as to when you used it many moons ago? Man, that is some strong stuff!

Cheers,

Joe

It seems a bit sweeter and perhaps a bit stronger, but the fundamental fragrance is very much the same. (Remember, you are asking me to recall a fragrance from over 35 years ago!) Funny thing is SWMBO remembers it on my person and sniffingly approved. I'll be wearing the suite this Saturday or Sunday.

On Tuesday, my handmade Shavemac finest badger brush (23 mm) arrived.

I recieved Taylor's Eton College and Avacado creams yesterday. I should now have enough creams and soaps to last me well into next year.

The only other things that I might end up getting would be getting a pre-shave cream and a witch hazel toner.

But hey, I spent about the same amount of cash for all my stuff as my brother did for a "good" electric razor, so that's not too bad. The big question is how long it will take before he wants to start trying out my supplies...

Hi all,

Recently purchased the items below off of eBay...

Paid $29 for the Parker fountain pen & pencil set. The FP is a Parker 51 even though the box shows Parker "21".

The Gillette Toggle is very nice. The case and razor are in just about near mint condition. Paid a bit over $100 for it.

Patrick, nice toggle. I also have one on the way.

With a purchase like that, you may be setting yourself up for Buyer’s Withdrawal Syndrome.

[Austin]

Kyle, how do you like the Domica Bay Rum? I think this is the same Bay Rum that my father used many years ago. Can you smell the lime in it?
