Some göt2be glued Spiking Wax


I thought I’d try this on my handlebar ‘stache instead of the spiking glue. This stuff has beeswax. It seems pretty good for curled tips, but not for English-style straight tips. For that I need the spiking glue and a hair dryer.

This was sent out to Razor Emporium (not by me) for a high polish. It does appear to have developed a patina and needs a polish. I'm going to grab my Flitz and give it the old Community College Try.

A turkisch Sailor has made its way through the US to Switzerland. Many thanks to FloridaCreekIndian

It really is a nice one. I got a brass one with the rhodium plated brass version I purchased. So nice.

Really good scents! Glad the soaps made it to Switzerland.

Some vintage soaps arrived this week.

I'm guessing that's a 3D-printed mug cap, from Etsy or some such?

It looks way better than a Duncan Hines cake frosting cap (which is a pretty good fit, but not totally air-tight).
