fatboy & 80 blades

Any guesses on what this is? I'm hoping it's a new Deluxe Bostonian/whatever you want to call it, but I can't say for sure.

I'm still waiting for this thing to show up...it's been 9 days which seems like an eternity, but the sellers shipping says it could take up to 22 days! I sure hope it's not that long!

Belmont or Criterion?
Whatever it is, it sure looks like a New Deluxe. Nice!

NICE!!!

Did you find that one in the wild, or on fleabay? Either way, excellent score!

Arrived back from London this morning after an overnight visit. I had enough time between appointments to visit the Penhaligon's store at the Royal Exchange....... came home with some Lavandula Soap as well as Hand & Body Cream for SWMBO as well as some English Fern bath soaps for myself.
It was pretty devastating to read "Tallow" first on the list of ingredients for my bath soaps

**Nasty Canasta** · 03-03-2011, 12:44 PM

Can't wait to splash it on tomorrow. It smells GOOD!

**Mycon** · 03-03-2011, 02:24 PM

I came home after yet another bad day at work to find a nice package from Bullgoose on the porch. I ordered it Tuesday afternoon and got it today!
At least the ladies at work will enjoy the fact that I restocked on Ogallala Bay Rum.
I've been curious about the Portman Square cream/soaps, so it was nice to get the sample. I haven't used it yet, but it has a very crisp, citrusy smell.

That's impressive! Try getting that through customs. Looks like a 19th century surgeons kit.

Scored a 1940's Gillette Super Speed from HDStreetGlide today. He even tossed in a tin of SCS Dagger soap. Here they are in a photo I took for another forum (to explain my obsession I mean, hobby.

**FL shaver** · 03-03-2011, 07:24 PM

There is La Toja shaving soap in the container with the large cork. There is some debate, I think, as to how it compares to the regular La Toja. It is the Manantiales soap.

Awesome. Are you going to actually use it or is it a "too nice to use" brush?

Buying pre-owned brushes prevents me from having to make such decisions.

But they both look like they have soap in them still!

**shanman** · 03-03-2011, 09:40 PM

Yes they do! I can almost read the lettering on one of the pucks.

**BillEllis** · 03-03-2011, 11:06 PM

I got to add one to my pile too.

Purchasing pre-owned probably would have saved me some $ too!!! I'll definitely use it, no point just looking at it!
