Acquisitions - week Feb. 14th to 20th incl.

Purchased in the small town of Albany, Il. right next to the Mississipi River. I'm sending this to Trainman just to show what is out there. Straight out of the case and into the mail; his elbow grease is required. 3 buck. All he best, Robert

Just arrived in the post this morning, a 1963 slim adjustable from FrenchBlade (thanks Max) with a pack of Shark SS blades, a pack of Supermax stainless blades, a sdample of EdT and some Trumper's Coral skin food. :cool:
 
A mug.

Suffers from brush rattle, I need a longer brush.

Ps. It fits a monsavon soap in the bottom like a glove.
 
Old Spice mug (empty) from Ebay. After I won it I read the listing again and it mentioned a hairline crack but I think it might just be a mould mark so have hopefully got away with it.

What I like about this, is that you were so excited about your purchase that it seems that you were unable to wait to get back to home or work to take the picture!! :)

Another parcel arrived today from Germany containing:

A TI ground Le Grelot
A thing for taking stones out of horses hooves for applying ballistol to a straight razor blade (it looks a bit like a bingo 'dibber')
A 'behind the scenes' at Thiers-issard DVD - thought it might be interesting as I've only ever seen very short youtube videos in foreign languages with short snippets of each stage.

Aren't they made of a Pyrex type glass ? In which case it would be like you say a mould mark.

The Rooney from factormax is here. Shown in pic after a quick test lather with Formula 31 Vanilla soft soap.

The I Coloniali soap arrived this week as well. Highly recommended by Teiste, I decided to give it a try and got it from Connaught Shaving.

Its smell is 'dark', mango of course, does smell a bit of fig as well, don't know, it's confusing but reportedly a remarkable soap. We'll see.

Oh. That looks nice. Never heard of it before. Let us know what you think of it once you've tried it.
