March 2016

I sent out my 1964 (J 4) Gillette Super-Speed on March 1, to Jay at Delta Echo Razor Works.  I really loved the photos of his craft, and wanted to make my birth year razor "mine."

Before:


Inside the mailer:


Remove the string and cover to find...


And nestled inside...


My Steam Punk Super-Speed!


I can hardly wait to give it a spin tomorrow.  Great work by Jay!

Absolutely WOW! Use it in the very best of health, Eric.

Some more views!

Today I received a couple sticks of vintage Mouson shaving soap. They have a nice earthy lavender scent, even through the wrapping paper, and I'm looking forward to putting one into my rotation.

Got my Barrister and Mann order in. Also got in a very generous sample of Night Music and some Razorock Aftershave Wax from another member that's not pictured.
I'm not 100% on the Rhapsody soap. Just haven't been able to get along with the scent just yet. The Chypre I wasn't keen on right off the puck, but I scooped a tiny sample to hand lather and I enjoyed it much more.

The Aftershaves smell awesome, can't wait to try them out.

Great loot today! A Rocnel and this....

Been tight with work schedule/meetings and these crept up on me this week. My wife stacked the boxes up in my office at the house. Got home today and she asked if I was opening up a store.

Not a bad idea!

Mail was epic today!

I was able to get some first-version XPEC unscented shaving cream. However, the parcel was abused by the USPS, the jar arrived with a cracked lid, which immediately fell apart. I'm going to try to super glue it. If that doesn't fix it, I'll need to figure out another container for the cream.
