The Haul: October 8th - October 14th, 2007

[PalmettoB]

A little early start for all you big go getters this week.

[Kingpepper]

Went to an organic market on Saturday and found Speick products. Bought Speick shave cream, a shave stick and aftershave. The cream and the stick were $4.95 each. May go back soon and pickup the edt and more cream.:drool

[jbcohen]

I have two new members for my Gillette Super Speed collection on the way. I have a 40s Gillette Super Speed and a Gillette Super Speed Red Tip. Once I have these in hand the only thing that I will need is blue tip and I will have an entire collection one of each model super speed.

Let the show begin!

That is a beautiful pipe Lyrt
She's sweet, I love her. :D

[qhsdoitall]

Really nice pipe. Care to share the details? :cool:

[Lyrt]

Nothing too fancy. It’s a Vauen Pipe of the Year 2007. I was quite curious to try a pipe with a carbon filter. I’ll try the pipe with both carbon and non-carbon filters and see what happens with my mouth.

Paul, would you happen to know if the Speick cologne was in a spray, or splash form?

[IsaacRN]

I used Speick Cream today...i didnt like the smell at all.

[jbcohen]

My turn to brag a bit. I came home from a hard day at the office today and found two shipments waiting for me. Boy wasn't I happy. I got two 40s Super Speeds (Can never have twoo many in my opinion) and a red tip. Now the only thing I need to complete my collection is a blue tip. I am going to look around the web a few times before making any offers.

Oh, also got a 70s Super Speed for my pop to go along with the 50s and the Crab Tree and Evelyn Sandlewood that I bought for him. He has a brush so he should be good.

[Bronco]

Nice haul jb! :cool:

Joe,

I didn't look. I was totally amazed to find any of this in a health food market. When time allows, I'll check this out. And probably buy some.

[qhsdoitall]

Whats up with the Pain cream, has that got menthol? :drool

[qhsdoitall]

U little piggy :D :happy001

Enjoy it Jeff, I guess there's more where that came from ::




Whats up with the Pain cream, has that got menthol? :drool

This is what it's got:

Shea Butter, fractionated coconut oil, Jojoba, Almond Oil infused with Calendula & Comfrey, Glycerin, Emu Oil, Aloe Vera Juice, Orange EO, MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane), Emulsifying Wax, stearic acid, Vitamin E, Germabin II (preservative)

I can always add Olbas Oil to the mix. :D

Issy - if you're reading this - GIMME :D

I wonder if this could be used as an aftershave balm?

[Baloosh]

WTF ZOMG :drool:drool

[crackstar]

Joe, my bro, thanks--I will enjoy it! Life's beeyouuuteafull when youz a wetshava!!!! Hee-Hawwwww!!!!!!! :rofl :rofl :rofl

[jbcohen]

Here are some photos of the latest haul, first is a photo of the haul and the second is a photo of all of the super speeds together.

[qhsdoitall]

Just to clarify, I'm the one who said I could add Olbas Oil to the mix not Issy. I don't want to get Issy in trouble. :D Although, I'm sure Issy could whip up some menthol to go with his pain cream. After shave balm is a potential I would think. Now you have me wondering.

My heavy duty pain gel has the following:

Active Ingredient: Capsaicin (0.025%)
Other Ingredients: Deionized Water, Chamomile Extract, Carbomer 940, Polysorbate 20, Triethanolamine, Propyl Gallate, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Propylparaben, Fragrance.

As you can see, Issy's pain cream is a much kinder/gentler formula and one I would use for normal aches and pains.

[qhsdoitall]

Nice set of Super Speeds JB. Should clean up OK.

[TraderJoe]

Carbomer 940, Polysorbate 20, Triethanolamine, Propyl Gallate, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Propylparaben,

Cool, that might make a good molitov cocktail :rofl

[DragonBoy]

I got me a nice package today..

3 Feather Portable 3-piece Razors.. and 50 Feather Blades.. All from PaulDog..

Thanks Paul!

[Sejanus]

Got myself a new All-Clad pot today. This one is for Asparagus but I can find other uses for it! :D

Vegetables have to PROVE to me that they are worth eating.. :D

[Infotech]

Today was a good day...

I got the Kent Bk4 I bought on Oct. 1, recieved Leisure Guy's Guide to Gorumet Shaving (http://leisureguy.wordpress.com/) that I won in a contest (thanks again Leisure Guy!), and a boat load of free blades with each package. The to packages of Wilkonson Swords are slightly different. One is made in Germamy and one in London. The third pack doesn't say. Are there any differences in these blades besides where they're made?

The Bk4 is my first silvertip. I was shocked during the cleaning I gave it to see how much water it took and how much bigger it was when it bloomed! Feels WAY softer than my C&E Best Badger brush. Can't wait to use it...

[Padron]

Sweet hauls guys,

The BK4 looks very nice :drool:drool

[johnniegold]

The BK4 is sweet. You are gonna love that brush.

[Padron]

The BK4 is sweet. You are gonna love that brush.

I checked their website the other day to see if they are offering them in black yet....no dice.

Hopefully Fergie can provide an update as to when the black handled brushes will be available..

The Maduro 5 Secretos is currently my favourite cigar. However, Rick told me the Partagas D4 was the bestest he had ever smoked.

[Baloosh]

I don't think I could manage smoking enough Cohibas to make it my favorite cigar. As it is now, I have to "only smoke them when I'm out of the country." ;)

[desmoface]

Nice package of shaving booty awaited my arrival from work today (everything in these pic's accept the razor, just added for effect) Jim at Vintageblades is awsome to deal with. Anyway, Rooney Heritage Stubby Size 2 and Dovo stand:

Oh my GOODNESS !!
Enjoy, my friend :D
Thanks for the pic.

[Padron]

I got a new hone to try out :)

A 7" x 1.5" Escher that to my eyes, has a slight greenish tint to it. A very cool looking hone, and it is surprisingly heavy for it's size...It feels like the stone is Incredibly Dense as the hone is surprisingly heavy.....It lapped up to a glass like surface that is noticeably smoother that my vintage combination blue / yellow coticule..or my German Hunsrueck / Eifel hone.

Never tried one of these before, so I will have to see if it lives up to the hype.....;)

[qhsdoitall]

and how much was the Penhaligons sample pack?


$14 Not much of a bargain but I don't use much cologne so it will last me a long time. I'll give the feminine scents to my wife.

[desmoface]

Penhaligans sent me a sampler pack for free, well worth the price :drool

Steve

[IsaacRN]

haha..now how did you get that?

[Padron]

haha..now how did you get that?

Send them an e-mail and ask for one, I did and they sent me one. I explained that I was very interested in their offerings but needed a sample before purchasing....

[desmoface]

Yep, they didn't send any shaving cream, but they sent the frag's. I actually called them (Penhaligons), they had a number on their website. Well worth the phone call;)

Steve
