Went shopping for some wetshaving stuff for a couple of other guys, and found all of these aftershaves...

Jeff always seems to have the 411 on Florena/Nivea, so I'm interested to hear his take. Joe (TraderJoe) take note that the Nivea [energy] aftershave fluid has both glycerin & menthol! :happy036

[Kingpepper]

From the last 2 weeks. Finally got to take a picture.

:signs083 can i have some?

[Queen of Blades]

:signs083 can i have some?

NO, you can't! :D

[crackstar]

Chris, I never tried any of the Florena a/shaves, but I have a tube of this Arctic shave cream from Florena, and it's miserable, and I mean MISERABLE!

Jeff

[xChris]

Joe & Jeff,

I got these at a local supermarket where I live (Stuttgart, GE). None of them were over $10.00 (~ €7.40).

The Florena balms smell exactly like the creams of the same name/formulation -- I'm taking that as a positive. We're all aware of the association between Nivea & Florena, so I'm hoping these perform as well or better than the Nivea balms available across the U.S.

I'm attaching a photo showing the ingredients list for comparison between the Nivea Energy with Aqua Velva Blue Ice -- looks promising. I'll take a week to try them out one day with one, then the next day with the other. I'll post back on the results.

[moviemaniac]

Here's what the mailman brought me today:

- Dovo Proma Klang Bocote (new)
- Wade&Butcher 7/8
- Harrison Wedge
- Wade&Wingfield ~4,5/8

pics will follow after restoration/cleanup/honing

Mmm boy!!!!

Mmm boy!!!!
Jepp, very nice haul and the Harrison is in extremely great condition. But I just found out the W&B has a small crack and is unusable in effect. But I don't have to pay for it, already checked back with the nice fella from the German forum who I got the three vintage-straights from.

[Baloosh]

Will G's ASB peppermint and #4

The Will G's stuff isn't being made anymore, correct?

Pity... I've heard wonderful things about Will G's stuff, and have always wanted to try it. Anyone know if someone has the recipes and can duplicate/come close to some of his former offerings?

I hear their maybe some in the works.

Just the Scuttlebutt talking though, nothing in stone.

[Tony Shlongini]

I have only the thinnest sliver of a Willi G. soap left. I tried to buy some from a member on another forum, but he just took my money and skipped out.

May he be doomed to use the same Feather blade every day for the rest of his life.

[Mottern Man]

Are you for real?:mad: !!!!!!.........let me know if you want his thumbs broke!

[Mama Bear]

My first shaving brush! Thank you Doc!

Jay, I have some Will G's if you want it.... both the origional and my duplication of it...

If he's not interested, I'm calling dibs! It's about time I ordered from you again anyway Sue. ;)

Let me know.

[msandoval858]

Picked up a nice looking Shavemac Pure Badger. Not a bad little brush, though I'm not a big fan of the bulb shape cut on these. Does work a lot better in a small soap dish than my big Simpson :D

[SSLSTudio...]

Well these just popped up lets see if they are any good they will undergo formal and strict testing........

Im missing carbon steel blades of the same brand so I wrote the guy back why he didnt throw them in probably this is their upperclass blade will see after this I have found 4-5 different brands and types unknown..but one blade at a time I remember the horror when I had to test 6 different blades at the same time.

The slogan of these blades?

When shaving ,the blades will bring you relaxation and pleasure.. ::

[crackstar]

Mama mia, Rene, was fur eine Klinge ist das, Schatzi? Sehr beeindruckt bin ich!

Jeff

[Mottern Man]

Rene,

That is a great example of engrish!

Like have shave make happy.:rofl

I must try those blades, they look like something out of a Tokyo Vending Machine.


Mama,

Let me know how the bursh works out, I broke her in pretty good.

[PalmettoB]

Rene, I got a good laugh out of those blades.

[crackstar]

My friend was in Cairo, Egypt visiting his family, and he brought me back:

1. 3x Tamara lather shaving cream
2. 2x Chabrawichi 555 eau de cologne
3. 1x Ahram lather shaving cream

Nice hats Rick!! are those skates for real?

[rick]

Nice hats Rick!! are those skates for real?

YEP !!
Ive been looking for a way to get in shape that is
1: FUN
and
2: Wont take a lot of time.

I used to rollerblade a good deal when I lived in San Diego and have been thinking of getting back into it. I saw Cesar Millan (the Dog Whisperer) using these really cool looking skates and googled to find them.

www.landroller.com :cool:

[SSLSTudio...]

Nice Haul there T. Joe.

Are those shave soaps or bath soaps ?

Im sorry bro what can I do I dont understand where your Anherb is staying, im getting pretty :mad: about it now.

[SSLSTudio...]

-> Rick

Nice hats ! I like the grey one best.

Rollerblades.. :rofl :rofl :rofl I must get glasses I was pretty sure I saw a golf bag on wheels for your golf clubs... oops...::

[TraderJoe]

Nice score Joe on the TGQ supplies :D Got the Skin Food Thanks!!


Glad to hear you got the CSF :happy088

Nice Haul there T. Joe.

Im sorry bro what can I do I dont understand where your Anherb is staying, im getting pretty :mad: about it now.

Hey bud - the rounds are shave soaps, squares are bath soaps. She closed down shop for a month and had a sale on bath soaps....couldn't pass it up :D

Don't sweat the anherb - Mail is just lousy sometimes. Mama Bear has in the past sent me stuff priority and it took 1.5 weeks (could have been walked here faster than that) :happy097

[crackstar]

Joe, our mail delivery too can be lousy--especially to the States. I also had a nice issue with this chick in a post office who doesn't even know how to pack a parcel.....

Jeff

[Baloosh]

I didn't know Colleen was shutting down for a month... sorry I missed her soap sale!! :(

Does she have a web site yet?

Is that a Harris Tweed cap?

[rick]

Is that a Harris Tweed cap?

From Christy's of London
"The hand made epitome of the Hatter's craft.
100% wool tweed 8/4 cap with Christys' Jacquard lining."

...dont think it's Harris Tweed, tho.

[qhsdoitall]

I have one a Harris Tweed cap for winter (30 years old and still going) and a Kangol Ventair for Summer. Love them both but I always get wisecracks from my wife and daughter about them being "old days." Love hats/caps but get some god awful rashes in the summer heat when I've been working the horses for a couple of hours.

I just tell them to deal with it. :) When my wife and I were dating from 3000 miles apart, she took my tweed cap and held it hostage. She knew I would visit her just to come and get it. :D

[fuerein]
