I picked up a coupla straights over the weekend off eBay. One that looks like a real winner, the other could be hit-or-miss, but it was CHEAP! Pics to follow when I get 'em. Bloodbath to follow later.

Sue Saint Charles
Shea Butter & Avocado Oil Cream - Looked a little curdled when I got it but I test lathered it and it was fine.
Bay Rum With a Twist EDT - Great smell after I just wet my finger and dabbed it lightly. The spray bottle it came in puts out way too much and almost gagged the room when I test sprayed it. I'll put it into something else.

[TraderJoe]

From "Duder" (Baloosh):

Booster Aquarius
Booster Polar Ice
Booster Mosswood
Booster Bay Rum

This guy is incredible, he decanted 8 oz's worth of each of these into color-coded and labelled squeeze bottles. I tried taking a pic, but my camera is acting up on me, can't focus right.

Nuffin' shave-related, but I got me a new watch yesterday. An Alpha Saphir Classic 203c automatic watch - they're handmade in Austria and are a sub-brand of Jacques Lemans.

I only found one photo of it on the net, that doesn't show its real beauty, but you get the picture. :D

positive side I now figured out how to re-install my lost 2GB emails over the last 2 years so at least my business contacts are not gone.


Sorry to hear about the reinstall. They should not be surprised though. It only really gets sticky if you install "non authorized" software and it causes a crash. Losing the bookmarks really sucks. How'd you get your email back? Backup .PST file?

[Smedley]

Do you happen to have Velva Ice Blue too?

Its a wonderful combo IF I do say so myself. :D

Perhaps a mix is in the cards for tomorrow's shave. :D

From "Duder" (Baloosh):

Booster Aquarius
Booster Polar Ice
Booster Mosswood
Booster Bay Rum


I'll be curious to see your thoughts on the Bay Rum AS.

Oh, and Jason...holy cow. You can start your own shaving cult with that haul! Doc Will, when you put a surprise package together, you don't kid around!

[Mottern Man]

I don't know how Will was able to part with his Mama Bears though...Many of those are in my shopping cart now ;)

I got plenty of MB samples form a Friend and those were the ones that I did not like the scent too so I figured I would pass them on.

In Fact that is what most of it is, samples and stuff I got of others and wanted to pass them on. Why did I charge 30 bucks when I got most of it for free and the stuff I had bought was running low anyway? :)

It was mostly to cover the shipping at 10 bucks and a little more cash to buy me some Doc's Northern Dragon EDC :) :)

[TraderJoe]

Duder - nice haul :happy088

Doc - ::git rock on brah


I'll be curious to see your thoughts on the Bay Rum AS.


Friend - I'll use that one tomorrow, and let you know what I think :D

[moviemaniac]

O-U-T-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G deal, Jason!!! :eek: :drool

@Rene: Nice sign! :cool:

[SSLSTudio...]

Sorry to hear about the reinstall. They should not be surprised though. It only really gets sticky if you install "non authorized" software and it causes a crash. Losing the bookmarks really sucks. How'd you get your email back? Backup .PST file?

Actually was dumb enought to click on a file which I had my hunch would be a virus , Mcaffee caught it ontime before it would do great harm ,basically its a back door dialer that got installed. something that sniffs your passwords and sends them to the guy who wants to use it to get into your paypal account ,ebay accounts etc. somehow I couldnt get it off 100% like 5% was still left. so I opted for safe and tell them. really stoopid on my end I normally never click on files lower then 1mb... unless I know 100% the source of it.

about the email databank well simple I have thunderbird installed on my external 250 GB HD I try to keep always the company laptop as clean as possible. so all my emails were saved in a folder I assigned to inside TB.
but when I did a virus cleanup session with spybot it somehow cleaned out the TB profile default direction file so the next time I launched TB gone were my 2GB emails. it a simple matter of importing the mbox files again.

I asked the IT guy to install Nero and iTunes on my account I hope thats all I will need for now I dont want to hack the laptop again. for now im looking to buy a laptop for my company use. obvious need to seperate my stuff.

@ Duder !

Great Haul im like speechless ! that is what I call an UBER Sampler pack.

@ Klaus Danke, its nice the iron board it looks like a poster but it isnt its actually thin STEEL ! now how to mount it on the front door of the Shave Den ?
Dont want to drill screws into my door..

[msandoval858]

Ran home and checked the mail during lunch. Score!

Simpsons Duke 2 Best
Simpsons Case Pure

Beautiful brushes. I picked up the Case on an impulse buy because Lee was out of Best on these. The price was definately right and I can honestly say this doesn't look like any Pure I've ever seen! The Duke is exactly what I was looking for in a small/med size soap brush. Can't wait to try them out!

Will post pics later :D

All soaps are 100gramm. well will see if she is good

The shave oil contains : vitis viniferous ,citrus aurantifolia ,melaleuca aurantifolia, boswelia carteri ,santalum album,simmondsia chinesis ?

How is that ? Is that TJ aproved TJ ? I better run it by your chemical Gene detection.

And a Senseo machine..good week.

[johnniegold]

Whoa Mike, nice brushes. Tomorrow will be Case in one hand and Duke in the other?

[TraderJoe]

Rene - nice haul. Personally, I don't see a use for the frankincense oil (with its astringent properties, I'd rather see it in an aftershave)...but maybe you should send me that shave oil and one of those soaps for testing ;):D

Mike - sweet brushes there, great score :happy088

Anyhow, speaking of "Rene" look what the cat dragged in:

Anherb Aftershave Gel
Anherb Aftershave Conditioner

Elicina Balsamo After Shave


Never saw this from Rene before... what/how is it?

[TraderJoe]

Never saw this from Rene before... what/how is it?

Not sure duder, its a little sample vial. I think its an ASB, looks like a semi-opaque gel....possibly made in Chile.

Hopefully, Rene will chime in on this one :cool:

[moviemaniac]

@ Klaus Danke, its nice the iron board it looks like a poster but it isnt its actually thin STEEL ! now how to mount it on the front door of the Shave Den ?
Dont want to drill screws into my door..

If you don't wanna drill holes in the door then there's only one thing for you: DUCT TAPE :rofl

oh, and that's a nice looking bunch o' soap and bottles you've got there, Rene ::

[SSLSTudio...]

Not sure duder, its a little sample vial. I think its an ASB, looks like a semi-opaque gel....possibly made in Chile.

Hopefully, Rene will chime in on this one :cool:

It is something I was looking into to offer in the shop.
It actually smells nice and works good but you wouldnt want to know what you would need to pay to get a big tube.
It is made from Excrete from Snails. did I write it correctly. so its made from poop from a snail. dont even ask me how they catch it , I dont want to know

Enjoy TJ only the best for you...YOU know I LOVE U 2 ....:rofl

Again Sorry Bro , even though I cant control what the idiot at the post office did (I can still feel bad about it) im still glad this haul for you didnt go to waiste because I really wanted you to try the elicina :: :p

anyways a free goodie on its way to Canada for a pit stop ...

[Michael]

... but you wouldnt want to know what you would need to pay to get a big tube.

[qhsdoitall]

If you want snail poop I have all the Escargot Excrement you could possibly ask for right in my back yard. Happy Hunting! :D

[Michael]

If you want snail poop I have all the Escargot Excrement you could possibly ask for right in my back yard. Happy Hunting! :D

What, Bananna Slug Poop?

[qhsdoitall]

What, Bananna Slug Poop?

Nope, those are in the Santa Cruz Mountains to the east of me. It's a common dare to lick them. These are bona fide wild Escargot Snails, I think. As far as I know, somebody had the bright idea to import them and they've been multiplying ever since. Of course, I might be totally wrong and delusional on this but hey, that's me. :D

[Michael]

Nope, those are in the Santa Cruz Mountains to the east of me.

My brother-in-law showed me a banana slug when we visited him in Boulder Creek. Guess I just assumed they were a bit more widespread. Absolutely nothing to do with shaving, but for educational purposes, a banana slug is a snail that looks like a banana - for real!

These two, umm, happen to be mating, but it's the first pic I found...guess this is "sex educational", hmmm? :D

[crackstar]

Joe, get set for a menthol treat of your life, buddy! Anherb's the ULTIMATE!!!!!!!!!!

Mitchell's wool fat/ I keep hearing good stuff bout it let me know how it rolls

[qhsdoitall]
