Gentlemen, let's see those acquisitions in May!

Picked up this Bostonian set...

Rooney Finest 1/2

Zingari Man The Essentials. A soap & aftershave balm with Rosie the Riveter(WW2 Ironworker) on the cover? I had to get it.

I opened a box full of peanuts!

That's all good stuff,  Charlie.  I'm curious about the Fine Santal Absolut.  The Fine afteshaves get good reviews.

Haven’t used it yet, Ricardo. On initial sniff it’s somewhat reminiscent of P-Red AS splash which I enjoy quite a bit. I’ll check it out more thoroughly over the next week or so. The Snake Bite may be the real sleeper here. Initial use is encouraging!

Givenchy Pi

Found this soft soap at a local supermarket.

Nice lavender aroma, lustrous lather, great glide and adequate protection... A very nice soap indeed! Tested and approved! 

A Gillette New Short Comb razor head cerakoted tungsten and black, on a Maggard handle.  I'll compare the SC to my New LC.  The handle I am going to sell.

Two more Rooney Finests have joined the brush family.  Duplicates of ones I had, but barely used at all and in beautiful condition.  I'll probably alternate them with their matches so that I get to see and use all of them.

Heritage Collection Dubl Duck 4 W 26mm Gel Boar -Tangerine Orange Over Ivory Cream

I decided to order a gaiter mask from PAA because I'm a shave geek and dig the cool design.  To get free shipping, I picked up a few items that look and smell great.  Friday the mailman brought my new goodies.  I could not resist a couple classic scented soaps and their new brush.  I must say, the brush looks awesome and feels great in the hand.  Just a great value.  I really like the knot in the Starcraft, so I'm sure this will perform as good as it looks.
