The Haul: May 14th - 20th, 2007

[PalmettoB]

New week...new stuff (or just new to you!) So let's see it!! ;)

[crackstar]

well, Cracky Wacky Jeff is off to a nice start:

2x De Vergulde Hand shaving creams
2x Anherb a/shave conditioners
1x Tabac stick
2x De Vergulde Hand bath soaps
1x Prince De Galle Gold edt
1x sample Alando shaving cream
1x foreign language dvd

pretty good, even if I say so myself! :D :D :D :D

[qhsdoitall]

1x foreign language dvd


What language?

[crackstar]

Hindi, which is one language I'm very interested in learning.

[qhsdoitall]

Good for you! Always nice to learn a new language. My ear is shot for language. I have a hard time with English now. :D

[crackstar]

Rich, I beg of you not to think I'm bragging, because, I sure don't mean to, but I speak French, Hebrew, Arabic, English, Spanish, Italian, Greek, German, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, and Swahili fluently. I come from a European background, so foreign languages are a must. Anyone can learn a foreign language if they really apply themselves.

[qhsdoitall]

You're not bragging. Just talented. My dabbling in languages was limited to French, Latin and Japanese. I can learn them but, I can't "hear" the tonal nuances any more. My daughter is trying to teach me Spanish. :D

[crackstar]

well, the tonality of certain languages, particularly, Asian or African languages, can be complicated for Westerners. Swahili, for example is an African language, which has a large number of Arabic words in it, because of the Moslem influence brought to east Africa by Arab traders and businessmen many years ago. It's a very nice language, and easy for an Arabic-speaking person to learn, especially the Swahili spoken in Tanzania, or Kenya. Swahili is also spoken in the eastern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, and to a lesser degree in Mozambique, and Somalia. Arabic and Hebrew are very easy for anyone who speaks either language to learn, because they're very similar, and if one speaks Russian, he can easily learn any of the other Slavic languages.

[Kingpepper]

Skin Bracer by Mennen :cool:
3 Lil Suz' s shave soaps: Lilac, Black Cherry, & Pearberry plus a little soap frog. :D The frog smells good but I can't tell what the fragrance is.

While shopping for two Canadian gentlemen today, I also picked up a bottle O' 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser AS. ::

[DragonBoy]

I got a little package from our new Soap-Sue.. I ordered the pure olive-soaps.. This is what I got:

1 Sandalwood (Very faint scent, mostly just soap - nice though)
1 Green Tea (Very fresh scent)
1 Black Cherry (Strong candylike cherryscent-almost too much)
1 Bay Rum (Quite strong scent, on the sweet-side of our beloved Bay Rum)
1 OrangeRose (rather faint scent, very nice scent - quite original)
1 Rose (very Rose :drool )

I have only tried the Sandalwood yet - pleasing result, Thank you Sue!

It's all your fault! :D Thanks though for pushing me over the edge. You should see this brush. I put it next to my LTD Edition Edwin Jagger Finest Silvertip and it matches up well. I really like that it is more fan shaped. I've been wanting to pick one up. Now, I'm just waiting on some recent Ebay used brush purchases.

[johnniegold]

Don't forget to review it!!!!
The 38C will get its first use on Sunday. I'm still using the 23C I got from Lee last week. I will then review both!

I finally broke down. I told myself I wasnt going to order ANY more shaving stuff all semester. I've done a few trades here and there, but no buying.

Now that its summer, I need to ease my AD:

Musgo A/s
Tabac cologne
Polo green and T&H 1805 in (from commah)

[TraderJoe]

Musgo A/s
Tabac cologne
Polo green and T&H 1805 in (from commah)

Excellent choices :happy088

The polo green and Musgo scents are two favorites of mine.....matter of fact, I like anything with patchouli in it :D

[Mottern Man]

Something tells me that Ed is also a patchouli fan. :rolleyes: ;) :rofl :D

[TraderJoe]

Something tells me that Ed is also a patchouli fan. :rolleyes: ;) :rofl :D

I think there may be a thing about gents that go for Bay Rum and those that enjoy patchouli, and vice versa (not to mention the bay rum and patchouli blend very well)

@Joe: Nope, it ain't TomH, although I know him and have dealt with him before and some of the samples I got here originate from him ;) . My friend calls himself "herzi" on the net - he just registered on B&B and I hope to lure him over here too :D

@Jeff: Danke dir! Ich werde viel Freude mit den Sachen haben :)

[crackstar]

[qhsdoitall]

Nice hat Klaus. I'd wear smoething like that but, my family tends to make fun of my hats. :D

[Edcculus]

Nice hat Klaus. Nice shave too! :D

WOOHOO - he's here, HE'S HERE!!!! :D

Thank y'all very much for yer compliments, Gentlemen :ashamed001 ::

@Rich: I know yer situation. Me mum also thinks hats are nuthin' for my dad and me - but hey, it's my head and I put on top of it what _I_ want :p

@Ed, Rick: Oh yeah, it was a great shave. Hail to the Chinese "Double Arrow Barber Razor" :drool

[qhsdoitall]

Klaus, a hat is a must for me. I work in an office during the day but, I out with the horses after work and weekends. California sun is strong. With my creeping baldness and fair skin, I have to wear sun protection. I'm a good candidate for melanoma if I don't. Might as well look good too. ::

[crackstar]

I can't seem to get into hats, although I like how they look on other people. When I play golf, or go to the beach, I always wear SPF lotion, but the kind of skin I have turns so black, that it's like I have nothing on it. I seem to be the only guy who looks terrible with a tan! :o

[moviemaniac]

Rich, that's exactly my situation. I've got very light skin that doesn't get the slightest hint of a tan - but I easily get sunburn and freckles :D Sun-protection is also a must for me.

Jeff seems to have the very opposite problem, never heard of someone getting too dark before.

[johnniegold]

great pics Klaus. Hat is looking good. BTW how is the scuttle garden doing? ;) Welcome, Herzi

[crackstar]

well, myself, I have the swarthy, so-called "Mediterranean" type of skin that tans extremely dark, as well as extremely fast, so after a few days in the sun, I look like I've been away down south for a month! :D :D

[SSLSTudio...]
