This is a CMon Blackie I had picked up off of Ebay. I had C utz put some cocobola scales on it. Detail is great. Even the spacer looks good :)

It was a great shave. Only used it once so the decision hasnt been made. But it is a beautiful blade.

I haven't bought anything in a bit. I'm saving money to buy from Issy and the TSD store. The scary thing is the longer I dream of soaps (shaving and bath), the longer my wishlist grows..:ashamed001

I too have not added anything recently. I am relying on my local area for the after shaves to try. Although I have not added a thing in the past two weeks. I do expect to chime in with an acquisition in next month or two. Got to go to work now so I will see y'all from the office if and when I can.

Spoke to Charles - Mr. QED. Bought 1 tub of Sandlewood soap, 1 Vetiver Stick and some Musgo Real AS. What I learned - any phone purchase with Charles takes 40 minutes. But I truly enjoyed the 40 minutes. Great wealth of info and a fellow admirer of Vetiver Neat. Should have by next Monday. Pics to follow. Also talked about Brushes, my new AD, and Vetiver, my other new AD. I loves me some Vetiver - VAD. I think that is a new one.

I also picked up some of the Home Health Almond Glow Skin Oil - Lavender and Almond scent. Used today for the first time. Jim like.

I can assure you there are other individuals in the wetshaving world that by far have more knowledge than Michael and Giovanni. Michael is a great guy with lots of great information and Giovanni is a salesman.

To name a few Dr. Chris Moss and Lynn Abrams.

I want to make sure that my statemet is not taken out of context. Giovanni operates a wetshaving site and has been a internet business man for many years and he is one of the best salesmen I know. He is very customer service oriented. I have in the past conducted business with Giovanni purchasing fountain pen repairs parts to restore my fountain pens. He is a gentleman in every sense. As any sucessfull business person he researches his products and becomes familiar with his customer needs.

I'll send them out. Don't know anyone local. It's a very low priority project. I was able to shave fine with the stock scale. So balance is not an issue.

Picked up some Brut Cologne, because I was tired of the scent wearing off after fifteen minutes. Forum members advise me to wear a little cologne.

Yes, its an absolute beauty. More importantly, the performance......I am floored with this brush. It has a great amount of density, and the hairs are the most resilient of all the silvertip I have used (this one being "finest-silvertip")

It is scrubby, but with butter-soft tips, and just the right amount of "give" in the hairs.

I am very pleased, one of my best gambles ::

First Package from Penhaligon's in New York, and what to my surprise - the Gentlemen's Scent Library. Package number 2 from Charles at QED - My Sandlewood Soap, a stick of the richest Vetiver soap ever and a bottle of Musgo Real. I am still shaking.

I got sooooooooo much stuff from you in the past that I sometimes think that I don't even feel worthy of it! You're my kid brother, somebody here has to look after you, right?

I found one of these a couple of months ago and decided I wanted a matching one. They will be put in a place of honor. The new one is the one on the left and just needs some polish. Both are in excellent shape.

Congratulations to all others on some great swag!
