I start growing my beard out in October.. Found Bad *** Beard Care a few years ago when they were just getting started. My favorite beard balm/oil scents from them are there seasonal offerings starting October thru December.So I decided to give Badass Beard a try with two samples. The Mountain Man is a very light smell.
now The Biker you can not mistake the Patchouli smell which is pretty dominating. Its not over powering at all. Neither is...unless you use a bunch of it.View attachment 1132202
What are you unpacking/ opening today, show pics or video, we love pics

Gem Junior.
I saw it on the 'bay and since I have a box o' Gem blades thought I might as well try it. I'll confess it's the handle that pushed me over the edge. Not sure how grippy it will actually be, but I like the feel of the size and shape of the handle and the self-standing aspect appeals.

Got this Shave Mug off the Bay.

A box of soap and aftershave from Reddit and an Ikon X3 on a RazoRock handle (thanks to @BradWorld and the B&B BST) arrived today. Tried out the Ghost Ship soap and aftershave tonight and had a great shave.
Picked up a Gillette Slim (I 4 date code so a 1963 4th quarter I believe) off of ebay, it's in much better condition than I was expecting based on the pictures, everything seems to be in working order (although a slightly lazy door on one side when opening) and it came with 7 packs of blades that weren't in the listing!

Never tried this before, I only read the review and watch youtube videos, they all seem to love it.
I used a $10 off discount code.
$17 for 2 seems like a good deal.
It’s a fantastic cream, I find fresher than proraso green. Hope you enjoy it.
I just got a mail call with these beautiful razors and a tuck of Astra SP blades. The contract tech (lined handle) is in better shape than online seller’s pictures suggested
This just arrived two days early making it the perfect Birthday present to myself. And I got to snag it before the wife saw it. She'd roll her eyes and say "You have a problem." She wouldn't be wrong. This thing is in absolutely perfect condition. And now I can't wait to put it to use. But it looks as gorgeous as all the pictures of them that I have seen online and was unable to get one until now. The lighting wasn't great so one with a flash and one without.
Finally gonna try the famous Tabac!
Mine came in perfect condition. Looks like something from the 1950s sci-fi movies. If you want BBS you'll get it with this. If you're not fond of knurling you like this.
Mail call!
Here we have an unbranded DE that I snagged for the handle on the cheap, and a Pilling Weck Skin Grating Knife. The knife came with the original three guards, a box of NOS blades, and three sealed, sterilized blades.
This NOS Trac II handle has also arrived.

Wild finds today!

A whole bunch of things arrived in a box today. The only disappointment was the main reason I bought the collection—a Frosen set—didn’t make it through intact. It looked like USPS played rugby with the box—it was crushed along one side. The aftershave was shattered. The upside was that the box smelled great.
Arrived as per local 'bay aquisition.
Gillette New Type with Colgate/Palmolive box (Canada) - needs some cleaning but very good, sitting in nanna's closet for 90 years.
Old Type Base and Head pieces (Canada) - no plate loss or corrosion, great condition.

I know a lot of people don’t love the almond/cherry scent of this Cella but wow, do I love it. Reminds me of these candy cane Christmas cookies I used to have growing up.
Mailman was good to me today. I remember saying like 2-3 weeks ago I needed to stop buying for a bit - but I keep finding cool things.
The frequency has decreased and I’ve sold some stuff and am selling other stuff to help pay for SOME of it.
I didn’t NEED any of these but I’ve found I love old boxes and things that hang on the wall.
I already have a GEM 1912 so I didn’t need the Ever Ready 1912 - but this box is WAY cooler than the plain metal tin of the GEM.
I already have a Valet VC4 but this one hangs on the wall - and I happen to have an extra strop to go in it.
I already have around 10 Gillette dispensers but this one is a 20-pack that’s never been opened.

A new no-name Type L clone from the auction site arrived today. It's much better quality than I was expecting, although I have not shaved with it yet. At least everything looks like it's aligned correctly.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the scent of Cella is pure almond. A lot of people say cherry. I don't remember the exact chemical reason. I think the almond scent is mostly benzaldehyde.
