[qhsdoitall]

There is a package at the post office waiting for me. I probably won't get it until tomorrow morning though. I think it those 17 razors. They won't be in great shape but maybe I can salvage one or two.

[Baloosh]

Forgot to include this in last week's Haul, so we'll pretend it arrived this week! :D

Issy's Sandalwood bath soap (x2)
Issy's Hydrogen bath soap
Mama Bear's Lemongrass/Menthol A/S milk (with extra added Menthol)
Mama Bear's Lilac/Menthol A/S milk (with extra added Menthol)

I didn't expect the Lilac to smell quite so good (read: manly) and the Lemongrass matches perfectly with my QED Lemon Verbena A/S conditioner! Mama Sue scores on both counts! :p

[jbcohen]

17 razors, my that's a lot of razors to be adding in one big delivery. I guess since my newest super speed nock off has not arrived as yet it belongs in this section.

6 boot sticks sent to me by one of our great UK members.

For those that have used them, what would you say they smell like? The scent is light anyway, but my wife isn't fond of it.

...good thing the scent is light.

SERAD...I am thusly afflicted...my latest manifestation of said illness:

http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/vbpgimage.php?do=full&p=444&d=1188261217

I was a little disappointed because the scales were more warped than what you can see in the pic. Plus, the blade is a little smaller than I thought. But it cleaned up nice. I think I'll really like it. We'll see how it shaves tomorrow. ;)

[qhsdoitall]

From Ron:

x2 Wooden Bowls of Kent Shave Soap
Couple of little "extras" :D

[IsaacRN]

Thats a nice looking blade Blair :)

[msandoval858]

Hmm... I had no plans after my PL8 conversation with Lee this morning...

But, somehow this little guy came home with me this evening!

Needless to say, I'm happy :happy023

[PalmettoB]

Thats a nice looking blade Blair :)

Thanks. The guy on Ebay said it was 5/8. It looks more like 9/16 to me. But I like Sheffield blades, and this little notch point is a good addition.

FWIW, Mike, I have one more str8 on the way from a guy over at SRP!! :rolleyes:

[Padron]

+1 I have one like that, they're nice shavers ;)

Nice Mike!! You have an Awesome collection :D

[jbcohen]

As per previously requested here is a review that I wrote over at Giovanni's forum of my recent acquisitions a TTO S3 and a TVL 1. I have also included photos of both.

First let me say that TTO S3 is called the Big Boss 636 by the factory. and TVL1 is called a Big Boss, but does not give a model number. I received both in the mail yesturday from Giovanni and I can say that the two are centainly worth what Giovanni is charging for them.
However they are no where as good as the Merkur versions. The metal used in the construction of both feals solid but flimsy, one would mistake the construction materiel for plastic, but the box claims its metal. Holding hte 636 next to my Gillette Super Speed I can clearly see the difference. The Super Speed is a better construction with better materiels then the 636. I would not say that the super speed is much better construction, just a bit better. The doors on the 636 do not open and close as smoothly as on the super speed and there is a notch in the 636 that needs to be acomodated that does not exist on the super speed. The 636 doors do not close over a blade as easily as a super speed does and may take a bit of jostling in the 636 to get things ready for a shave. Now I am going to sound a bit odd. If I was training my three year old son to shave today, I would actually pick the 636 to train him with. It is lighter than the super speed and is easier to manager for unpracticed hands. The doors on the 636 will require him to pay a bit more attention to getting the blade seated right in the razor before going off and shaving with it. I also think that the 636 is a fine razor for travel, which is the role that I intended it for.

The big boss, without the model number, also known as a TVL1 is a light weight version of another three piece that I have from Merkur called a 1904 clasic. One can see that the Big Boss is a copy of the 1904, and is quite light weight. Again the 1904 is not much heavier then the Big Boss and one would think that the Big Boss is made of plastic. The Big Boss is tightly packed into a well made case like the 636 is and assembles quite quickly.

In conclusion I would not pick up either if you intend for the two to be a main part of your shave rotation, however if you are picking them up for travel use, as I have intended them for, or as gifts for a starter razor they certainly fit the bill. A discalimer needs to be made at this point: this is only my opinion, your experience may vary.

[Queen of Blades]

Thanks for the review. Very informative.

[herzi]

Today in the mail:
-3 Brut 33 AS 100ml
-4 Arko sticks
-4 packages of green Supermax blades

[jbcohen]

Thinking of a slant bar, but not for some time yet. I am told that the Slant Bar is much trickier to handle then some of the other razors out there.

[herzi]

I am told that the Slant Bar is much trickier to handle then some of the other razors out there.

I don't think so. Even if I wouldn't try a j-hook ;)

[jbcohen]

Ok, then what would you recommend for a novice which would tax his shaving skill?

[herzi]

The only slant I know that is made nowadays is the Merkur 37c.

[Mottern Man]

Thinking of a slant bar, but not for some time yet. I am told that the Slant Bar is much trickier to handle then some of the other razors out there.

The slant works the same as any other razor, just way more aggressive. You really have to pay attention.

[qhsdoitall]

Thinking of a slant bar, but not for some time yet. I am told that the Slant Bar is much trickier to handle then some of the other razors out there.

Actually, it's not. If you've got an Merkur HD or some other similar down then you'll be fine. The only slant razor/blade combo I have found so far that requires really extra care is the slant/feather.

[qhsdoitall]

The box of 17 odd assortment of razors came. I have some serious cleanup work to do. I think I can salvage a few of them fine. A couple of them will just be collector novelties and a couple the white bakelite handles have cracks. The heads are fine. There is one str8 with no markings. It needs to have new scales or at least new pins. I need to buy some Krylon International Harvester Red. :D This is going to be my fall project. I'll take some pictures before and after. Some I may not even try to do anything with. There is one razor with a blue handle with blue stars on it. Not sure what that is. I was looking at all of these while I was driving to work this morning. Get out the jewelry cleaner, mineral oil, scrubbing bubbles, brushes, polishing clothes and Maas. It's play time.

Aint that enuff ??

[PalmettoB]

There is one razor with a blue handle with blue stars on it. Not sure what that is.

That sounds like a Ladies' Gillette (like the one JoAnna was selling a while back.)

[Queen of Blades]

That sounds like a Ladies' Gillette (like the one JoAnna was selling a while back.)

Yep, sounds like a Blue Star Ladies Gillette to me too.

Very nice razor. Even a few guys have been known to use them.

Sounds delicious :D, too bad your so far away..

[qhsdoitall]

OK, Here are quick pictures of the box of distressed razors I got. Some of them are strictly novelty, some are historical benchmarks, some are plain crap and some have the potential to be put into shave as decent razors. I paid a grand total of $23 for the whole box. If I'm lucky, maybe 3-4 razors will come through fine.

OK, so that's it. Now to do some research and think about what I'm going to do with some of them. It's a long term project for sure.

[Bronco]

Rich,
Some decent lookin razors there. I think you will come out with 8-10 good ones. Nice haul for the price.

[Mottern Man]

I'll take the black tip SS when you are done.;)

[qhsdoitall]

If it's the one I think you're looking at, it's a red tip. Picture #12? Or is it the Black Tip Picture #10?

My Polo 8 landed right on schedule!

Unfortunately I didn't have enough time at lunch to take a pic. Check back later this evening for some SBAD goodness...

To celebrate I updated my sig :D

[Mottern Man]

If it's the one I think you're looking at, it's a red tip. Picture #12? Or is it the Black Tip Picture #10?

Gee Rich I don't know, I said the black tip. BLACK TIP, not RED TIP so it would be picture number 10. Number 10 being the one with the BLACK TIP, not the RED TIP. Number 12 being the one with the RED TIP not the BLACK TIP so if you would I will take number 10 the BLACK TIP super speed. :rolleyes:;):rofl

[Mottern Man]

:p I thought maybe the red didn't show up very well in the #12 photo. I was just double checking in case your computer was color blind. :D

ah, mon Dieu! Yukio--comment vas-tu, mon cher, ca fait vraiment longtemps! J'espere que tout se passe bien dans ton coin.

Salut, Jeff. Il y avait longtemps, effectivement, que je n'avais pas posté. J'ai un peu déserté tous mes forums pendant trois mois et figure-toi que je me suis laissé pousser la barbe. Je ferai un test de ma tondeuse d'ici pas longtemps.

En tout cas, je suis ravi de voir que tous les habitués (et quelques nouveaux) sont là.

Picked up a mint Gem razor at a rather large flea market yesterday. I was surprised by the slim pickings of razors (straight and DE) otherwise. Too much walking for 1 measly razor! It was a beautiful day though, and I have the sunburn to prove it! ;)

Dunhill is purdy good! I have not had the EMP but I have had Mixture and went well. Try McClelland Tobacco Frog Morton (all of them) they are my current fav.

Check www.tobaccoreviews.com (http://www.tobaccoreviews.com) and www.pipes.org (http://www.pipes.org) for more info.

Once again thanks to Rick for twisting my arm on pipes. ::

So no thumb breakin for me ?? ;)

I havent tried the "new" dunhill stuff yet but I really enjoy the Durbar.
Dont even know if they make it anymore.
965 is still a staple for me but it is a bit fuller than you prolly want at this point.

Thank you, Mottern and Rick. I may very well use your knowledge about tobaccos. For my birthday, my friends offered me a Peterson pipe, my very first one. I’m taking some photos and I’ll post them in the next Haul thread. There is so much to learn.

My very first pipe tobacco. I asked for something light. And I have new things to learn.

This one is pretty good, as far as I remember from my pipe smoking times, more than 15 years ago. My favorites were the McBaren tobaccos, Navy Flake (very pleasant woody aroma), Plum Cake (somewhat sweet but very mild), or the more soft to neutral Golden Blend.

Enjoy your pipe! :cool:
