My order from IB arrived safely yesterday. I received 2 each of of the new soaps except for the sandalwood. Also, scored a bottle each of Zi Peppino ASB, King Louis ASW, Prep pre/post and RR shave gel.

It is not like I needed anything but one never knows.
 
I got this from a friend today for under 1/2 a G

I've ID'd the top razor as a 48-51 Aristocrat (no date code I can find) the other I'm not too sure about after my initial search and the Colt is a WWI USMC issue piece. The Colt did well at the range tonight with ball ammo, quite accurate and the bottom razor went straight to my machinist for a new brass handle (solid this time).

Nice Haul !

I think you overpaid for the razors, but it was nice of your friend to throw a free gun into the deal.
 
I got my Gillette Parat yesterday I paid it 15€ shipped and it's like new. But there was no case so maybe i had to try hunt one down. Seems to be great shaver too.
 
So far, I have scored a puck of MWF, a 50-pack of Feather blades, an Ogallala Bay Rum shave stick, and a tube of Speick. The shave stick is a challenge to say the least, it's nothing like traditional lathering that I'm used to.
 
Busy month for me:
C.O. Bigelow (Porasso) Shave Cream
C.O. Bigelow Protective Cream SPF 25
C.O. Bigelow Elixr White Cologne/Body Wash/Body Lotion
(soon to come; got some coupons for BBW after buying their buy 2 get 1 free COB Sale)
Mentha Foot Cream
Eye Treatment
Berry Mask

And a new lather bowl but thats not as important.
 
It arrived today. :) It is awesome by itself. However, it has just become more awesome! I can use the packing material in my morning shave.

The brush was wrapped in a small towel with a nice looking elastic holding it in place. What a nice touch. :)

Is the Bicentennial Krona the gold one?
 
I was out working in the yard today when the mail lady delivered my order from Italian Barber.

Which one first? It's a tough choice, but I think I will use the Don Marco soap and balm tomorrow The scents of the Razorock soaps are very pleasant. The new Proraso smells interesting - I'll have to use it to know how much I like it but I'm a big fan of Proraso products.
