Ah, welcome to the wonderful world of Proraso. I am sure it will be a mainstay in your rotation, if not I will gladly take it off your hands.

I'm afriad I don't have a picture, but over the past couple of days I recieved a fair bit of shaving loot:

MWF
D.R. Harris Arlington Soap
Trumpers Coconut Soap
Gentlemens Refinery ASB
EJ86 DE Razor
And last but not least, a new Simpson Duke 3 brush!

Altogether my shave den is looking quite a bit fuller than it did last week.

If you have a First Beauty around you they had a bunch of the Proraso and some eshave products.

Is that really a four digit serial number on the double ring? That would make it like, really, really early. Does it have Pat Nov 04 or Pat Applied for on the ring at the bottom of the barrel or any other markings?

Really 4 digits, and it says PAT APL'D FOR. I am guessing that the PAT APL'D FOR double rings belonging to AsylumGuido and DanInFla are older than mine, as they have that stamp but no serial numbers.
Curiously, my stamp is upside down.

The last 2 CVS/VDH kits at my local CVS. I really don't know why. The shelf had a tag saying $6.99, but it rang up $3.49! I'll give them to a couple of my son's friends with some other soaps as starter kits.

Two La Toja bowls, one for me and another one for the fellow Islander!
And two La Toja sticks and two samples from Trumpers as a personal gift from him!

JDIAZ, YOU ARE A TRUE GENTLEMAN! MUCHAS GRACIAS!

What a haul! Plane tix purchased for my mid-summer's trip to Lisbon (just a layover) and Spain! I really want to come back with a La Toja cork bowl! I also hope to make a trip to the south of France and return with some Monsavon. I see you scored a couple of bowls of it last month!

Are those mugs empty, or there's some soap in there?

**Antique Hoosier** · 03-02-2011, 08:21 PM

A beautiful Vulfix #41 arrived today!

**ben74** · 03-02-2011, 09:26 PM

Just arrived from Executive Shaving - a collection of Fitjar products... Haven't used them yet/before, but they smell fantastic!

**ben74** · 03-02-2011, 10:10 PM

Two deliveries in one day! Now this is a score - a Plisson 200 Years Special Edition (no.18)! I spotted it at 1barber.be about a month ago and decided life wouldn't be complete without it (and with a birthday on the horizon I was able to justify the outrageous cost!)

Looks like it should clean up really well.
