One of the best mark - I’ve had a lot of bay rums - paa is number one - they do a lot of bay rum variations - and then imperial rum is second.Would you mind buying some Imperial Bay Rum from Phoenix and Beau and getting it delivered to my address?
It will save you on postage later when you sell it too me.
I got that one last year and passed it forward almost immediately. Didn't got anything than the pepper from it.Would you mind buying some Imperial Bay Rum from Phoenix and Beau and getting it delivered to my address?

You could always try buying samples instead of whole tubs.I buy them - smell them - sell them LOL
Bargain basement best buys (I think)!

Ok, so I had a fancy for a one piece razor (the couple of Chinese Superspeed clones I had having been passed on to my son-in-law, who loves them). Real Gillettes, if in good condition, are too pricey for me. I have pursued a few Slim Twists but not been successful, then I remembered the Feather Popular, which was all over the various websites last year and was recommended by some as a Slim Twist clone. Not so easy to get hold of now though, finally found someone that had some stock and ordered one. It has taken 3 weeks, but arrived today. Ordered an Omega brush from somewhere else at the same time, and that arrived about 10 days ago. Whatever, I have it now and can’t wait to try it!

Well, my timbers, they be shivered! I didn't know there had been a Gillette Popular, just looked it up - well I never etc, looks nice as well, same as the Aristocrat really, but you had to open the butterfly manually (ouch, me finger!) Thanks for pointing me at that, very interesting!The Popular is a nice razor.
Mild but effective.
The long plastic handle is the only negative for me.
Interesting to me that there were models of Gillette called the Popular.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts on the Musgo Paul. I bought one recently from Portugal and getting I'm getting mixed results. I have binned the box so don't know if it's the same formulation as yours.Bagged another vintage C&E

... bit of a risk since there was no box and no ingredient list present, but a quick test lather tells me it's the good formulation and not the terrible Trumpers-style from the very end of their run with shaving soaps.
Also, a puck of Ach Brito Musgo

... which is the very latest 2024 formulation:

On paper, the previous formulation reads pretty well but I never tried it. This latest formulation is in line with many of the template that many of the big European names are using. Yeah, I'll certainly press it into use for a proper shave soon enough. Test lather was very positive.Looking forward to hear your thoughts on the Musgo Paul.
