I had a few packages show up today. The first is a Chiseled Face Midnight Stag aftershave and a couple of bars of soap:

Also, my razors arrived fresh from restore. He honed 2 Rolls Razor blades:

He also rescued this beauty; Harrison Bros & Howson 5/8" with ivory scales:

To say I'm happy is an understatement. My straight journey starts now.

An order from Italian Barber:


The titanium HALO handle was was an impulse buy.  I went to IB website to see if they had anymore in stock and they just happened to be in stock!  The HALO handle is now sold out.  RR SMdF shaving soap is one that I just needed to try for myself.  I had to grab a bottle of Tuscan Oud Aftershave splash, too.  This stuff smells so good!  RazoRock "Mentor" and "Old Type" razor heads were just a couple that I've wanted to try out.


And, a couple of Formula T shaving soaps from WSP:


The Black Amber Vanille has a very dark sensual scent to it.  The Sandalwood was on sale for overstock.  It smells of wood, instead of the more prevalent cologne-type sandalwood soaps/creams.

Have I mentioned lately that I really don't need any more shaving soaps?  But, it's more about "want," I suppose.  

I had to grab a bottle of Tuscan Oud Aftershave splash, too.  This stuff smells so good!

The Tuscan Oud aftershave splash truly is magnificent. When I saw that RazoRock is about to release some of their scents as Eau de Parfums in the near future, I thought to myself, they can easily skip Tuscan Oud. Because the splash already lasts all day. At least it does for me.

Some nice hauls on this page! Yes, most of us don’t need anymore products of any kind. But we’ve been afflicted with “the sickness”…  

This arrived today.  Just five days from Toronto to San Diego; amazing!  The Lavenders is a gift for a friend but the others are for me.  The Joie de Vetiver smells so amazing that it is already on tap for tomorrow's shave.

Put an amazing knot in this old handle. Both arrived in the mail yesterday.

I've been feeling a lot better and back to normal a little more. Thanks for all the good vibes!

Here it is.

Elite Manchurian 28mm bulb.

Measured 31mm x 54mm when it was all said and done.





The last picture is after a good wash.

Good to hear you’re feeling better, bakerbarber, and nice job!

Thanks!

Came in less than half the price of a new Chubby 3 Manchurian. Got it without waiting for customs too.
