Acquisitions Monday July 10th - Sunday July 16th

[soulshine]

major scores for me yesterday & today...

while walking around boston store i noticed a 75% off baxter products and asked if this was true. the kind sales person advised it was and rang up my baxter order which included:

baxter travel bag
(2) aftershave balm
baxter scrub
shave cream

for a whopping total of $12!

i also made the trip down to speak with one mama bear in person as i could not figure out what scent to purchase. i brought my son with me and we had the best time! sue is just great to speak with & we shared a beer and some laughs. guys - i smelled just about every soap she made & one cannot really go wrong with anything she offers. i would have walked away with one of everything if i had enough $$ with me. i did stay away from the dragon's blood but it smelled GREAT. i did pick up the black code & spellbound woods.

yesterday my ebay purchase of penhaligon's opus 1870 & english fern arrived sealed and perfect. in madison i scored the C&E brush at a discount since it was the shelf model.

Jim, very nice brush!

Kyle, that is a very cool Muhle-Pinsel razor and box. The miniature brush is neat as well.

It is very nice I have one aswell , they give one away with every Muhle order.
I tried it on my face , dry offcourse it actually feels wicked ! def. smallest brush out there.

the store with the clearance baxter was "boston store". i think in other states they are known as "carson, prarie, scott" (sp?)

Thanks Rik and Rene. The razor is very interesting. I plan on posting more once I've allowed it a few more shaves.

 

[Austin]

Very cool Kyle! Let us know what you think of your bounty.

Hey Kyle, I have the same razor, but I have not tried it out yet ( I am playing around with my new Gem razor) You will also find that a Merkur HD or Slant will fit even more snugly into your travel box.
Cheers, DJ.

This was certainly a motivating factor in my decision to get it.

Today the postman delivered the following treats for me:

- Taylors rose SC
- a couple of cobalt blue atomizer (for my WH)
- a Merkur Progress

I think that I'm going to have a rose-y shave later this afternoon/evening and try out the new gear.

USPS dropped off some Taylor's St. James and an Alum bloc for me.
