The Haul: December 17th - December 23rd, 2007

[PalmettoB]

Getting close to Christmas. Post up those secret Santa hauls, those who participated. Everybody else, let's see what you got (or got yourself ;) ) a little early for Christmas!

[Lyrt]

Retardation more alive than ever here!

[Queen of Blades]

New AD, huh, Yukio? :rofl

[Lyrt]

Nope, nothing new. I’ve grown up with video games, like many retarded monkeys from my generation. I’ve owned pretty much every console since Nintendo’s NES. I usually wait for a year before I buy a new-generation system. This Xbox 360 supposedly does not suffer from various diseases such as the Red Ring of Death (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_technical_problems) or unexpected scratches of disc. Well, I hope, because the warranty only works in Japan.

[ltlsuz]

I'll post my Santa gift again. It's great! Thanks, Bronco!!!!! (and thanks to his wife too......)

[crackstar]

I received a vintage Gibbs shaving stick today--looks like great stuff! :D

That is true of all children.

When I relocate to PHX, maybe a visit will be in order (yea hear me Pop, put the beer on ice). :1respect

[Lyrt]

Rick, you are now one of us. I'm so proud of you.

[Kingpepper]

From my "local" C&E store about a 25 mile drive:

Sienna shave cream
Sandlewood shave soap
Sweet Almond shave soap
Plus I bought my wife some nice scented items.

Also at Sam Walton's place:
Old Spice after shave
Adidas Dynamic Pulse after shave.

I'm going to have a good shave and Darling Wife is going to be very happy!

[rick]

Rick, you are now one of us. I'm so proud of you.

Are you going to tell us all how much you love us?

[Lyrt]

I love you all. I love you so much I could give you my... No, you won’t get my new consoles. :mad:

[Sejanus]

Just remember to only burn it for a couple of minutes and then if you can, set a timer so you don't forget about it. If you cap it right when you are supposed to it will last a lot longer. However yeah.. you do go through a bunch regardless. Small negative though IMO.

And I now have some great TSD Soaps too! I tried the Avalanche (just had to) and it was great! A super soap!

Maybe because it's very hard to get? I only know one ebay-seller from Poland selling those blades...

Thanks JoAnna ! :D

[mastermute]

I have found the Bic to be a decent middle of the road blade, but with not that great longevity..
But all in all a pretty good blade..

Very much as I perceive them!
