NOVEMBER 2017 SCORES

[ronweston]

Browsing an antique store with my wife and found a brush and mug going as a "set". The mug was just a run-of-the-mill Avon (which I already have), but the brush was an Ever-Ready 150 in great condition. Then I looked IN the mug...

The brush, spare mug, and a puck of vintage Williams for $13? Just on principle, I talked them down to $11. I consider that a decent deal.

Got the puck and brush soaking for their inaugural shave later this evening. My first vintage Williams experience!

Great find and a righteous price!

Received a package from a black Friday purchase, from Tampa Shave Co, got a great deal on the 3 pc Stirling set and the Semogue 830 came in a few days ago, I love their brushes

I picked up a few things from the Italian Barber Black Friday Sale:
100 Bolzano Superinox DE Blades
100 Feather New Hi-Stainless DE Blades
100 Derby Extra DE Blades
100 Astra Superior Platinum DE Blades
Shavex Alum Block
RazoRock "What the Puck?!" Blue Barbershop, Lime Burst, & Orange Sunrise Triple Milled Shaving Soaps

I think I have enough blades for awhile!

Ozark Mountain is a fine soap. I've not tried the splash or balm. Congrats on the set, Chris.

Nice pickup, Steve. You never want to run short of blades. I've got at least a 1,000 stockpiled!

Great score on those blades, I was tempted to jump on the IB sale but ended up passing as I have way too many RazoRock soaps, the Blue Barbershop has a wonderful scent, def try to get the splash when they have it in stock

Ozark Mountain is a fine soap. I've not tried the splash or balm. Congrats on the set, Chris.

I was very impressed with the set, it has a wonderful bright outdoor scent

lol Thank you for the warning, it has a wonderful smell, I was very happy to get a second chance at obtaining the splash, very happy to have the soap/splash combo now.

I tried the Orange today, and really liked it. Very good value.

I could not resist a good deal on some fine blades!

I received my new razor from the local Detroit Grooming Co. today. It was designed in the States and produced in Ferndale, MI. It's Detroit Grooming Co's "Alpha" adjustable stainless steel razor with a smooth handle. The razor bends and arcs the blade (not in a slant way) and the gap adjusts based on how much you tighten the handle. I can't wait to try it out tomorrow morning. It is fairly heavy and is claimed to weigh 220g. They packaged it nice and included some great freebies:

10 Feather New Hi-Stainless DE Blades
Razor Travel Case
Detroit Grooming Co. Mocha Shave Soap (Coffee Vanilla Scent)

As November wains I guess I should share my utter lack of restraint...

And another Tell Tale Heart set because it's awesome!
