Aquisitions February 2 - 8

So picked up this shave mug and brush stand from Dan at The Nashville Knife Shop, shipping was super fast and now I have a matching set except for the razor... also picked up a puck of Muehle Aloe soap as I read it was pretty good...



Hopefully soon I can pick this up and then be done for a while:

Looks very classy. The black handeled razor will really finish off the set

thanks, I was torn over black or white but since I had gotten the black brush years ago as a gift it made things easier...and hopefully that new black brush isn't overly expensive as the other ones they sell are pretty spendy.

I picked up two new razors this past week.

The first was a Wostenholm with horn scales from Lynn & Don @ SRP. I just shaved with it this morning, and it melted the weekend growth away.

The second is a Bowdins hand made wedge from Maximilian @ SRP. I think this one is just a class act all the way. Max was a pleasure to deal with, and I already have a second razor ordered from him.

More pictures of the Bowdins can be found on his site:

Picked up a tube of Tom's of Maine Mint yesterday at Whole Foods. I figured I better get it while I can.

Happy tidings from Rorschuck.

1/2 oz. of Creed Virgin Island Water, some Caraceni 1913 shave cream, and Chuck and I split a bottle of Floris No. 89 splash and he was cool enough to let me have the bottle.

No prob.

They replied with this the first time:

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Although we have provided some samples in the past, these were
individually made by hand, as we do not hold sample-size stocks of our
products.

However, as a gesture of goodwill, as we have just fill some shaving
cream for sensitive skin, we can take a small amount and send you 2
small samples of this.

Please could you provide us with your postal address.

Kindest Regards,

Taylor of Old Bond Street

So hopefully they will do the same for you
