[Queen of Blades]

[Queen of Blades]

Be careful. Will might think you are trying to replace him.

Not that you, or anyone for that matter, could. :o

[IsaacRN]

I started sprinkling it on people as they passed by me like holy water.

[Queen of Blades]

I started sprinkling it on people as they passed by me like holy water.

:rofl:rofl:rofl

And you got slapped how many times?

[qhsdoitall]

I started sprinkling it on people as they passed by me like holy water.

:rofl:rofl God, another one I have to raz. Oh well, more fun for me. :D

[Baloosh]

Another willing convert! Welcome to the Big Time! ::::

[Baloosh]

I started sprinkling it on people as they passed by me like holy water.

Yay, verily... and thus the unwashed masses shalt be christened... so shalt they yay be cleansed... and so shalt their skins be chilled with the bless'ed menthol, and forever shalt they dwell in the house of the Velva, forever. Amen.

[TraderJoe]

[IsaacRN]

My mom smelled it.......when i bought it..she was like..wow....just like your grandfather...you going for the old man smell.......i said.....its a classic.....BACK OFF!!!!!!!

[Smedley]

Such Velva hostility. :)

I should talk, I've gone off it for the summer in favour of the Makler AS. Or the Clubman. Will get back into Velva for the colder weather.

[murchmb]

A wood bowl of Lentheric. Possibly unused. It has a fairly spicy, cologney scent. Perhaps this is different from the Lavande that that has shown up on other forums?

http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/vbpgimage.php?do=full&p=331&d=1185329405

An unused bakelite bowl of Paislay's soap.

http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/vbpgimage.php?do=full&p=332&d=1185329418

An unused Yardey gift set consisting of Invisible Talc, a sealed bowl of shaving soap, and a ful bottle of aftershaving lotion (smells great!). The warrent listed in the soap is for the late King George, so I'm guessing this is from the mid to late fifties?

The thrill of the chase is over. Now I have to decide what to do with the prizes. Hold on the them? Use them? Put them up for sale/trade?

[Padron]

Great hauls guys :D

I really like the Latigo strop :drool:drool:drool:drool:drool:drool

Maybe Sr. Mix a Lot and ADholic but enabler and shave/coffee/bourbon/pipe pimp are definitely not. You're not using but actively trying to bring the rest of us down with you into the dark depths of userdom. :D
