[Mottern Man]

NICE INJECTOR :drool

[qhsdoitall]

Wait - the mail doesn't come until late this afternoon. :D

[moviemaniac]

2 tubes of Gillette classic SC. Pretty darn hard to find around here, after a long search I finally found and grabbed 2 at my local grocer's who has been OOS on it for a long time before :D

[DragonBoy]

Cool! I just picked up my package with a couple of new Merkurs.. A classic 1904 open comb... and a SLANT!! Ive heard soo much about this monster of a razor so I had to have one..

Happy Shaving Gentlemen and Women ::

Just got back from Hawaii the beginning of this week. While I was there I hit up a couple of Longs Drugstores (local chain) and came away with;

7 cartridges of Longs branded Injector blades (same as CVS blades, ASR/Personna blades)
2 packs of Wilkins Sword Classic DE blades
7 cakes bath soap - An assortment of island scens of glycerin based soaps. All natural and made in Hawaii
4 hand carved wooden bowls - perfect for melting down and pouring in some of my shave soaps. No lids but still stackable
1 hand carved wooden bowl - This one was a bit bigger and came w/a lid. Would've gotten more but they were $6 apiece (the ones w/out lids were $1.29)

I've tried the injector blades and they are the EXACT same as the CVS blades which I like. But, while most things cost more in Hawaii than the mainland, these Longs blades were only $2.59 per 11 pack, almost HALF of the CVS blades!
I'm happy w/my Derbys and EG's, but the Wilkinson classics were under $3. Does anyone have any experience w/these?

Thanks, Rick!

I've had a huge sample of the first formula Musgo before and I really liked it, so when one fella on a German wetshaving board sold a few tubes for 7€ shipped I had to get me two as I'm about to run out of the sample. It really is a very, very nice cream :)
