In Today's Mail

[Mendel]

I received three packages in today's mail:

1. My new Weber polished head SS razor. I love my Weber Arc finish razor but I simply wanted a shiny head version with a heftier handle;
2. My new Nussbaum fountain pen from isellpens. Todd came out with his own branded line. Moreover, he includes an Astor leather pen pouch, cartridge, and converter with his branded line. I already have the pen loaded with J. Herbin Rouge Hematite. This pen is amazing! They only come with medium nibs for now but I'm finding the nib to be closer to a fine;
3. Antiga Barbearia shaving brush from Portugal. I have been trying to order this for the past year.

Here's a picture:

Your thoughts?

Did you kiss your mail carrier when they gave you these?

I wanted to but she already had driven away.

I really like the brush. What exactly are the paint colors? Maroon and Gold?

Can I ask where you ordered it from and what the cost was?

Yes, it is maroon and a yellowish/gold color. There are two places that you can order it from:

The Portugal online shop. $32.37

Oporto online shop. This is where I got mine. $31.05

There may be some other places you can get it as well. I'm just not sure.

Thanks! Boy its tempting to order that brush and the shaving soap. I wish they would knock $10 off and not ship it in that decorative box - a little too fancy for a semogue if you ask me....

It's like a shipping crate for fine wine. Don't worry the wood box is very light and doesn't really add to the cost.

Actually the yellow/gold portion is a bit darker than butterscotch.

Great looking trio there! Enjoy them in good health!

Looks like Portugese flag colors minus green

Loved that brush since seeing it online! Cool packaging. Won't be purchasing any brushes until a Lisbon layover in June...

Really nice, enjoy.

Love the bush- as a Steelers fan especially. Black and yellow!!

That's actually a deep wine color at the base, I think.

Yes burgundy not black.

Very nice delivery. Enjoy them!

At second glance it is. Sorry, it's almost draft time. Starting to get a little amped up over football . Still a great looking brush.

Nice trio.
