MdC shave soap; 100 pack of Polsiilver Iridiums; Pinaud Lilac Vegetal.

Great suggestions! Thanks! (Unfortunately, I am not among the chosen, but I could use the other stuff!)

I read most of your posts so I have a sense of what you like. I envy your brushes and razor set up, and I think you're happy with Haslingers soap.Try a Myrsol splash or two, as well as Proraso splash if you've never tried it.

Thanks! You describe my preferences very well. Myrsol and Proraso splashes are definite considerations.

I think it'll be a case of "know it when you see it" as to what you'll want to spring for. Congrats on hanging in there BigJ!

Thanks! Appreciate the support (and your terrific posts!)

 

[BigJ]

Buy every scent available of your favorite soap. Purely for research, of course.

Thanks! Let's see, I have 2-3 pucks of every Haslinger's scent (and 4-6 of my absolute favorites), but I could use a few more! I might run out.

Hold on until the next Paladin Brush Release, probably mid to late April, and treat yourself to a truely great brush

VERY tempting! Thanks for the suggestion.

Get an Injector razor and several magazines of Chick blades.

Injector?? Now that would be different! Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[BigJ]

treat yourself to an experience, like a haircut and full hot towel shave from a master barber.

Great suggestion! If only I had a master barber around here.

 

[BigJ]

Look for and buy the most insanely smashed up razor on ebay, and see if you can make it work?

Thanks! That would be a challenge.

Spring is nearly here, time for the full setup of Proraso's green line. Go whole hog and get the preshave, a new tub of soap (I'm assuming you probably have a partial soap or cream kicking around.), and bottle of aftershave. The first sunny and warm day that hits your area, give yourself the full on treatment.

Great suggestion! Thanks!

WSP Gaelic Tweed soap and AS is another idea. I'm debating on doing this, myself.

Tweed? That definitely sounds like me!

 

[BigJ]

Tweed soap? Does it smell like a college professor?

Yes indeed! Hit the nail on the head!

Buy the LOTH a razor, some soap, or take her out to dinner!

 

[BigJ]

Buy yourself some Cologne so you will smell good.

Thanks! Great suggestion. Any particular brand?

Thanks for the suggestion! Taking LOTH out is always a winning idea!

View attachment 775910 A bottle of WINTER RESERVE

Thanks! That one goes on the list!

 

[BigJ]

Have your favorite razor replated in your favorite finish. I'm having a Fatip Retro replated in rose gold, myself.

(Good suggestion on the Myrsols, too.)

Good suggestion! However, my favorite is SS, so no need for a replate. Will take you up on the Myrosol!

Thanks! That would be a challenge.

There was a Personna Zamak that looked like it had been used to break bricks, and there's a BIN (I think) of a RotBart with insane zinc pest on the head. Both look like you could shave with them if you tried, but they'd need some work with a Dremel tool. (and maybe rustolem for the RotBart)

YIKES!

YIKES!

Yup, and the sellers are PROUD of them!

How about a nice matching soap, aftershave, and cologne. My favorite cologne is Terre d'Hermes. You can get a spray EDT for around $50 or $60. Stirling sells soap, aftershave, and balm in their own "version" of the scent (Arkadia.) Put them together in any combination and you'll be one fine smellin' B&Ber.
