Great looking brush John- what are the dimensions?

The knot is 26mm/52mm, and the handle is about 55mm tall.

Received a razor lot I picked up for $60. After a closer inspection I'm not completely convinced it was such a great investment - but can't win 'em all

Valet w/ case, bladebox and leather strop. These might just be very dirty, Leather has no cracks and razor seems mechanically sound.
Schick E-type injector in case
Schick Type repeating razor. Hopefully it will clean up a bit
"Spike" straight razor. Blade edge pretty bad. Binable.
Gillette Tech. Ok condition just dirty.
Some no-name travel razor where it seems like the second part of the handle is stuck inside the other handle part.

Wow darkbulb, that is one hell of a deal. They also have 400ml Proraso Green aftershave for $24 shipped.

I already own both, but if I didn't I would certainly get on those deal!

Oh no, I now see this posted on their home page:
"We are really sorry to inform you that we do not ship more floid bottles to United States because a large number were broken during transport and we don't have the insurance to cover it"

My two bottles arrived empty.

All evidence has been buried, all tapes have been erased.

My two bottles arrived empty.

Really? Man, that sucks. All four of mine were very securely packaged and arrived 100% full/intact.
I even did a 'smell test' on them and it's for sure the real stuff.

Sorry about your shipment though

Very nice John! Enjoy it! Lovely handle!

Arrived today - a big package of stuff that I ordered a few weeks ago.
I rather recently tried out Floid Blue for the first time and found that it really worked for me - both scent and for my skin.
Due to a few discontinuation rumors (I still have no idea if they are true or not...) and coupled with finding the aftershave for what I think was a really good price ($28 shipped per bottle to the US (probably less if you're somewhere in Europe)) I ended up ordering four [more] bottles so I could use it for a long time and not think twice about availability

The vendor is TVBShaving by the way and seems like a very credible and trustworthy guy to deal with.

In addition to the four bottles of Floid Blue I also picked up a bottle of Acqua di Eucalipto by Extro' for $6 that will be fun to experience. I assume @crackstar have already had a go at it?

So how much Floid Blue is enough?
This much is enough for me.
At 400ml per bottle...that's about 2.2 litres (I've used some!)

I was fortunate to order my Floid from them also and lucky they arrived safe and sound.

I think darkbulb is the new Floid Blue supplier for North America!

Wall of Floid. Awesome
