From my late Grandfahter - the hunt for his TTO continues, I hope one of my cousins in the US will find it...

Nice mate!

Hmmm, and I would presume that a commercial quantity that 400g? Maybe even a large commercial quantity depending on the contents ...

I'm arguing of course that the contents are entirely for personal use :)

Well you won't want to be sharing it... [emoji477] [emoji477]

Anyway, you're in possession now! [emoji592] [emoji600]

A few more Shaver Heaven soaps and no, they're NOT to flip either, they're my precious!

Now stop looking at me enviously, it's freaking me out!

Would you take some Polsilvers in a trade ?
 


  • TOOBS Cologne, nice but not really my thing. Someone may like to take it off my hands.
  • TOOBS aftershave balm, absolutely love the scent of this stuff.
  • My first Barrister and Mann soap, very slick, great stuff.
  • I was recently in Canada and stumbled across a tiny wet shaving shop in Victoria BC. This soap lathers into a creamy thick goop, very nice discovery.
  • Penhaligans deodorant. Not bad, does the job, nice citrus scent, but I won't buy it again, not worth the price.

Maill call (finally) of Mystic Water White Tea & Ginger and Coconut Lime Verbena and a bunch of samples.

Yup. Great deal on samples. Just ordered a tub of Egyptian Dragon for the great scent, but Michelle makes wonderful soap. Easy, slick lather. Nice post shave comfort.
 
Due to the rumour mill saying that they have stopped making these I grabbed another 500 (got a pretty good price as well). I think that puts me at just over 3000 blades total (mixture of brands). Might be OK for a while for blades I think.....

Got a great haul from an antique shop down in Kograh on the weekend. One Gillette Gold Tech with tartan case (wanted one of these for ages), one Gillette Rocket HD (which probably will become my daily driver), two silver blade cases (one of which completes my Bostonian set), a tiny tiny razor with case and cardboards and spare blades, a Schick Platinum (aka plastic fantastic, quite rare from what I can tell), and a hip flask wrapped in snake skin (was the sweetener to close the deal). $150 for the bundle. Was stoked :)

Most of the gear is in great condition. The case for the Tech unfortunately has a mark, but the gold is in pretty good condition (missing bits of the lacquer as they often get). Rocket HD is great. Lovely to shave with. I can return my #58 to its case in the display case :)

The little Laurel case is weird. Absolutely tiny.
