That's funny @lasta, those seem familiar!!

I think we all have stories of unbelievable generosity and kindness on this forum. I’ve been here less than a year and already have a truckbed full of stories of B&B Brotherhood. And I have another one.

Our brother @Guido75 was randomly reading my rambling journal posts and decided to supernova in a flourish of amazing thoughtfulness. Just yesterday, I was surprised to discover a package on my doorstep.

What!?

OMG!!!!

• He sent me a Fatip SE just because he noticed my collection was lacking much OC representation.
• He sent me a English Aluminum Tech because he read in my posts that I was looking for a cool Tech to add to my collection - he went out and FOUND this for me, it wasn’t from his collection.
• He sent me two Dutch soaps, one of which is from likely the oldest company in the world!!

I think we’ve been able to establish that @Guido75 is the coolest Dutchman in the world! THANK YOU MY FRIEND!

I encourage you to read the full version of this story in my Journal and learn more about the razors and soaps and help me give @Guido75 the respect and gratitude such an unselfish gesture deserves.

Thank you Guido! I’m going to be grinning like an idiot all year!

The Dutch are wonderful people,i have friends in Rotterdam

Found this poor thing in the wild today.

Hello there, you sad Enders. Something has started to dissolve your handle.

Upside: You’re the safety bar version.

After Dawn, hot water, a toothbrush, and using pliers to remove the blade.

Handle is a little melty but solid. I’ll think of it as extra knurling. The head came out fantastic.

Thanks for stopping by!

The actual reds with the metal inlay in the handle are quite the lookers. This isn’t one of those. I still need a yellow of that type.

An unused vintage Erasmic shave stick, I guess 1970s or 1980s.

could not resist grabbing some leftover valobra!

Just pulled out of the bag. I've been looking for a nice looking one of these and this one is replated and seems like brand new again.

I lost my beloved 40 year old Buck 505 last week, and this will hold me over until the my new Buck I ordered from their Custom Shop comes in.

Discoverer and Phantom of Kyiv shaving soaps and Phantom aftershave.

Mail call from the Ukraine. Can’t wait to try these out! Tallow based (cow and bear), nice light, fresh and foresty scent to the Discoverer and a fresh more earthy sweet scent to the Phantom.

Solid packaging and outstanding customer service.

You should do yourself a favor and pick up the shaving soap too if you can, it is excellent.
