January 2014 Acquisitions

Post your January 2014 acquisitions here.

Hi friends, let me open the thread of the New Year! Happy New Year for everybody!

Some days ago I received a package from USA. Great friend! Some brushes, plus some gifted shaving goodies!




Here details
Vintage Ralph Lauren Safari for men shaving soap. Nice gift. Tallow based.


Here it is in a tin, ready to shave!


Another nice gift. Czech & Speake nº 88 travel size shaving soap. Plus nice XPEC and J.Peterman 1903 shaving creams and a lovely spoon for them.


Finally, sweet candies. Even Butterscotch flavour.


The World is full of wonderful people, and I am fortunate by knowing some of them!

Not only have I received old shaving brushes. Also a new one!

Can you describe what the Ralph Lauren soap smells like?

Oh. I'm sorry. I do not know how to describe the smell. I like it. But I have not more skills to describe it, friend.

From a friend of TSN Forum

From Secret Santa 2013:

good stuff in there....I see a brush I like...good luck to figure it out which one it is.

Just scored a great conditioned 1958 Gillette Fatboy for $40 shipped...thought it was a very solid deal

Just arrived. A ceramic tub of tabac, la toja stick, ogallala sampler six pack, vulfix 660 med in super badger. Happiness.

I just got my Gillette Red Tip for $20. Not the prettiest one I've ever seen but works like a charm!

Gillette blade packs today

Wow! How nice! What fun you will have with all of those wonderful brushes!

Just got this Becker scuttle...I'm a happy man!
