Let's start off the new year by showing some new gear!

Alright, today I got the following:

New EJ DE87 Razor
Palmolive Classic Cream
Palmolive Menthol Cream

Johnny, I have the Palmolive Classic and think it is good stuff. Use everything in good health.

Nice haul, Johnny!

How cold is that Palmolive Menthol? Which country is it from? I believe the Egyptian or Lebanese is the coldest?

EDIT: looking back at the pic, I'm assuming it's Italian?

I have some of that Palmolive classic that I haven't tried yet.

let us know how you like it, I'll be curious to know your thoughts.

Well, I will put it this way. These two creams have knocked my GFT and Proraso creams out of rotation.

The Classic has a nice minty smell to it. Lathers like crazy, is slick, and leaves the face feeling very smooth/refreshed.

Used the Menthol this morning and it is loaded with Menthol. Not quit sure how to describe the scent, but it's nice. Lathers like crazy, slick, and very refreshing. See my post in the SOTD for January 8.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the EJ87. It's my fav razor and its interesting to hear others of how they get on with it.

As we know, the EJ razors use the same Muhle save head so my choice was based totally on what looks good to me, and that was the faux ivory handle. I had a DE86 and 87 and sold both of them just before Christmas as I thought I did not need either because I had another DE to compliment my Schick Injectors. Well, I was wrong. I believe the DE 80 series razors are some of the best on the market today and I get great shaves using them.

I will keep this DE87 until the chrome wears off of it.

pick up two new forest brushes from moz68, the 2211 and the 2201. the only flaw with the brushes was that the 2201 had a tiny chip near the top of the handle which I was aware of before buying the brush. with those, moz68 also included a tube of old spice shaving cream (smells wonderful, btw) and a bunch of different DE blades.

now onto a few photos:

That is a nice haul. The New Forest Brushes are on my list of brushes to purchase in 2012.

thanks. I've been wanting a new forest brush for a while now and wanted the older style handles. I was surprised at how small the brush is compared to my FS that has a similar style handle.

Andrew, I have both the 2201 and 2211 brushes and they are both outstanding for both creams and soaps. They are on the top of my list of favorite brushes. Enjoy!

they both seem to have a lot of backbone. I'm excited to try them out this week and will be sure to get some photos with the lather I can produce using them.

Andrew, I purchased my New Forest 2201 from Nathan, who had an extra. I have never regretted that purchase; it's a great brush. Enjoy them both.
