It's the best that I could do until I get my hands on this beauty! I will of course post some picture of all of this stuff as soon as I can!

Warmest regards, Niksa

Now that's one hell of an inventory for someone that's just 2 month on the road - have you actually had the chance to try all the stuff? :rofl

Welcome to the shave den, Niksa!

I have actually resisted trying all of the various soaps and creams as I am trying to nail my technique down before going nuts with all of the thing that I own! I have been sticking with my '52 SS and changing blades in order to find the perfect fit for me. When I can get consistently good shaves then I will experiment some more!

Warmest regards, Niksa

Welcome aboard. I too have a huge list of stuff with only 1 month of wet shaving. I know it can be addictive.

Thanks for the warm welcome gents! I'm pretty sure that I went just a little overboard :rofl with all of my purchases! As of now I have about ten packages on their way to me and I am bidding on to items on eBay! Man at this point I think the best option for me would be to upgrade my PayPal account to a vendor and to start selling off the products that I don't find to my liking. I think that this will be inevitable at the rate that I acquire things!:ashamed001 :rofl !

Warmest regards, Niksa

Glad to have you on board here, Niksa! All your rowdy friends from TOP are here (well, mostly).

I've only gotten a few items off the 'bay here and there, and I tend to go for things that I want to keep and use, not for a nifty collection to display. So I've gotten some Fat Boys and Slims and Heavy Techs and NEWs pretty cheap, without cases, well used. (Look for the ones that don't say "Fat Boy" in the description, and which have the typical teensy, blurry photo. The collectors don't run the price up on these.) But after a little effort cleaning, polishing, etc. I'm sure I could take some really nice pictures and sell them at a good profit. Trouble is, I wanna keep them:rolleyes: and also, the selling is too much like work! :eek:

Your rate of acquisition will slow down a little... if your SWMBO doesn't apply the brakes, your banker eventually will!:D
