Acquisitions For July 2013

Shocked to find and compelled to buy brand new Vie-Long horsehair shaving brush for £4.30 from an independent chemist in Brixham:



It goes all tufty like our terrier
What a score!

My Dirty Bird 1.5 scuttle from Julie came in today. Took a few quick pics and did a test lather. Looking forward to shaving with it tonight!

It was actually a risky purchase from the bay.

It wasn't listed with terribly good pictures but I had a feeling it was in great condition.

I was able to snag it for $45 shipped. Cleaned up quite nicely and looks pretty good with a decent camera. Haha.

I just got an order from West Coast Shaving. The highlights are; 5 sticks of Speick, a pack of 100 Crystal blades, a wooden bowl which will be detailed for VdH Deluxe, and a Semogue Owners Club brush.

My girlfriend loves me.. She went to Italy!

My latest shave related goodies from Barbiere di Figaro

I ordered an Omega 11047 some time ago, but it's too prickly and not dense enough for me. Enter the Simpson Case

Next:

The TFS Limited Edition hard soaps. They smell great, now which one to use for tomorrows shave?

Tuesday Morning here had a few LDN shave items on final clearance.
Originally half off 'retail', then another 40% off that.
Got 150mg tubes of "Cool Aqua" cream and the A/S balm, for $6 each.
Nice cream, very moisturizing and good lather. Light 'oceanic' scent, not too soapy.
Perhaps akin to Speick.
Nougat now sells NGT brand, in similar package but grapefruit scent.

Just picked this up from the Post Office.

I'm on a single edge kick. This will be a fun one to use and it just needs a little scrub with soap and water.

Parcel from West Coast Shaving arrived today



The left of the picture is a Simpson Special Pure Badger brush, are all Simpsons this small? Or is it because my daily brush is an Omega Pro 2012 boar.

Andy,
That's just.....awesome.

Stopped by Man Essentials on the Danforth today in Toronto and picked up a tub of Cella croap and Whiskey aftershave from Portland General Store, this will be on deck for the weekend starting tomorrow.

A very good week so far! I scored a couple of awesome fountain pens, a like-new, cased Gillette Super Speed TV Special (with sealed original blade dispenser) and an unused, boxed Old Spice mug, complete with the original soap puck! The soap smells great and I can't wait to try it out tomorrow morning.

I picked up a bar of TOBS Mr. Taylor body soap and some Eton College AS splash.

Finally scored a monotech. I have been looking for one for a while

Wow, that's cool and it looks great, definitely don't see those too often, I wonder how many were made...Very nice find, enjoy! I was looking on Achim's site and saw that there are two different styles of the Mono Tech, yours is from the 70's and there was another style from the 50's, are you going to hunt that one done as well?

Love the labels on these soaps. I am a real sucker for pinups.
