Wade & Butcher "Invincible" 5/8

(sorry for the crappy pic)

[moviemaniac]

Nice razor, Blair! :drool

Thomas, did you get a golden one?

Didn't get anything in today but I made a few purchases:

I wonder how these blades (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170136669471&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=007) will perform - never saw 'em before. Anyone got any idea?

bought from suffolksupplies:
Gillette Platinum Double Edge (5-pack x 4 (20 blades))
Standard Blade Sample Pack (25 blades)

[PalmettoB]

Klaus, those Gillette blades look like repackaged Swedish Gillettes. If that's the case, they'll be great shavers. But they might be a different animal altogether. Let us know how they work when ya get 'em.

[qhsdoitall]

Got some Maas products. Got some polishing to do. :D

That's what I thought too, Blair. But then again I currently have an English Gillette Platinum blade (distributed in England) that shaves exceptionally well too. To me these blades look like more or less "vintage" ones - I'll report how they perform.

[Baloosh]

Art of Shaving Lemon cream tub
Taylor of Old Bond Street St. James cologne

[DragonBoy]

@Klaus: No, just a normal chrome one - but I would really like a gold one :drool

[PalmettoB]

I'll report how they perform.

[Queen of Blades]

I made the second batch for the folks that experienced some irritation from the first batch.

But I made it just a little different, and wanted Joe to tell me if he noticed any difference.

Besides, Joe has "connections", don'tcha know?

[IsaacRN]

[IsaacRN]

Take off the glasses first..before the Mo Green and all will be right

We leave that job up to Chuck Yeagar.

from L'Occitane. They are having a Buy 2 Get One Free on their soaps. Not bad considering they are $12 a piece. I bought 2 Verbena and decided to try their Lavender. The Verbena is a great soap, especially in the summer and then use their Verbena edt afterwards. Great summer scent.

From a Trade from a homie here at TSD.

Thanks Bro ! i'll send some VGH items your way next week .
the Tea Tree is just a bit dehydrated nothing to Worry about it will lather perfectly ! I know that.

The Sandalwood on the other hand looks much worse then the Tea Tree even though they AIR SEALED these Tubs ! that must mean this must be really old stock. the Sandalwood though can also be refived but it lost 30% of its hydration but we have water to the rescue.

happy as Pig in SHIT with the Tea Tree smells even thru the seal.. :drool

Muehle Pinsel Ivory Silvertip Brush (19mm knot)

http://www.muehle-pinsel.de/lib/previewshop230x230.php?id=97

Oh cool!.. Let me know how you like the small Muehle.. I have been thinking about getting that one..

[DragonBoy]

I gotten myself a nice yellow pack of 100 BIC DEblades.. Nice.. Real smooth..

[PalmettoB]

Had to go by Wal-Mart today, so I took the plunge.

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/619PHYMQHQL._AA250_.gif

This is definitely not AV. It's more spicy. Like a blue Old Spice, but not quite. Hard to describe. But it is good stuff.

[TraderJoe]

Oh cool!.. Let me know how you like the small Muehle.. I have been thinking about getting that one..

I'm really enjoying it, Thomas. I will do a full review, soon, but after so many recommendations by you on the Muehle Pinsel I just had to try one out.

Snapshot on MP 19mm Silvertip: good size, almost like a smaller version of the Kent BK4. The loft is very short, yet the bristles are soft (silvertip).....an excellent combo.


Picked some stuff up today, including this Palmolive soap:

with Eucalyptus and Peppermint Oil
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u239/TraderJoe_album/palmo.jpg
