Big Haul coming in today, all won off a local Facebook auction group

Montecristo Open Eagle and Partagas Salomones

I received this Joris Open Comb with a Rosewood handle from a trade the other day. Tried it out last night and boy is it ever aggressive. Really had to take my time and work slowly but in the end it was a great smooth shave.

Use all Boveda packs. Much easier then any other form of humidification. I have 2 72% RH boveda's in my 150 count humidor and it sticks right around 72 never fluctuates.

My Gf's dad gifted me an one of his 4 humidors. He custom built a removable shelf out of cedar to give the humi some more utility. Also had a big order from famous get delivered yesterday to fill up the humidor. 25 smokes came in yesterday of various types.

I haven't paid more then $30 CDN for any pomade I own. I spent $25 CDN on a tin of Ruezel Green, which lasts anywhere from 6-10 months. My girlfriend spends 60-100 every 6/8 weeks on her hair, and the amount of bottles, shampoos and sprays she has at home is probably 200-300$ at least. So...

Who doesn't, I've been eyeing the Schmiere Rumble 59 Babershop Trio. As well I still want to try the SodaPomp soda flavoured pomades.

Try Rumble 59 Schmiere Hart pomade. Some seriously heavy duty hold. But I find it easier to work in and remove then SGB. Definitely better then King Brown. Honestly, I was super let down by the King Brown. I find it has a lackluster hold, very poor styling ability, and in the summer months it...

Do a base coat of the Murrays Nu-Nile or Original for the Hold. Then apply a light layer of the Murrays Hair Glo for a super high hold, high shine combo. I have rather light hair, which lets me use "toppers" as my base. Part of the reason I swear by Ruezel Green is the high hold and good shine...

I was never really a fan of the Uppercut water based, I finished the tin and never bought a new one. I really hate "pomades" that give the helmet head look. Today i just threw in some Murray's hair-glo straight after the morning shower. I like the lighter but still sturdy hold, and the high...

That indeed it is. But I've been around the block a few times so I think my opinion holds some weight. In terms of classic pomades my favourite was a mix of Murrays Original, with Murrays Hair-Glo on top for that high shine. The original would have a lasting hold, and the Hair Glo could easily...

Nothing will ever beat Ruezel Green or Pink. I've tried over 30/40 different pomades, and reuzel green and pink are just the best ones I've tried. Schmiere Rumble 59 is trailing in third place, but just doesn't have the hold that Reuzel does.

Could be old stock. I picked up a bowl of Mr Taylor Cream while I was there and it seems stronger then one that I have had sitting for a while.

Here's a few Sheffields I picked up, One Thomas Turner and Two Wostenholm's. Should make for nice restoration projects.

I have a bunch of good stuff in the mail. I have 4 different Sampler packs on order from famous, the Reddit Xikar Xi1 cutter, and a new 25 count humidor. Still looking for a nice vintage ash tray.
