MAY 2017 Scores

[ronweston]

May is here and Spring is in full swing, but the Scores do not care.

They are always out there awaiting discovery.


Yes, time does seem to fly but no matter the month, the season, or the weather, there is always something to be found. And you can mark it as yours.

When you find it, let us know.


We all want to see and think ... I'm need one of THOSE....​

It's that Ronweston guy! The Scores! Mysterium est. That's Latin.

Maseto 30mm Finest bought from eBay; it took about 3 weeks to arrive from China. Beautiful presentation as it arrived in a nice handmade box along with a brush stand and key chain. I'll have to take it for a spin tomorrow.

Great score! Looks like a nice, dense knot. I've been looking at those myself.

Thank you! Yeah, the knot feels pretty good, nice backbone. For the price, you can't beat it. They have silver tip knots for like $5 more. I will give it a go tonight.

I'm at a loss for words! Congrats!!! Now I don't feel too bad about contemplating two more Timeless handles and top caps.

Received this Charcoal Razor yesterday; I had seen a few YouTube videos highlighting how wonderful they shave and with the fact that I can pass this down to my sons, it became a no brainer.

I have read and heard that St. James of London shaving creams were top notch and offer great value for the money. I have since learned my lesson of forking money over for just one tub of cream/soap and then not liking it. I have been buying samples of tons of soaps now to figure out what I like/don't like. I went to their site and bought this sample pack for $6.99 and shipping was free (you can't beat that). I am looking forward to trying them out then I'll decide on which one I like the best.

The Charcoal Goods razor is a beauty! I'm keeping watch on his site and hopefully will be able to pick up one soon. Good idea with the samples.
