As the sharp eyed reader might have spotted, the last couple of my SOTDs have featured the Williams Mug Soap, which I got as part of a care package from a friend and gentleman; Charlie, whom you all know here on the 'Nook.
In addition to the soap – which he offered to ship since I haven’t had the opportunity to try it previously – he put a lot of other welcome items in the box as well.

A lovely bevy of samples, a lovely windfall for me:
And in addition to all that – which was already beyond what I was expecting – Charlie found it in his heart to add a GEM G-bar, also known as the Heavy Flat Top. I do enjoy GEM and other vintage Single Edge Razors, and I am beyond excited to add the G-Bar to my rotation.
So a big thank you and shout out to Charlie – both for his friendship and for the box filled with joy!

A lovely bevy of samples, a lovely windfall for me:
- Four samples of Saponificio Varesino after shaves; Cubebe, Dolomiti, Tundra Artica, and Manna Di Sicilia
- A sample of Esbjerg shaving cream
- A sample of Stirling Soap Co’s Barbershop shampoo bar
- four B&M aftershave samples; two Reserve Cool, one each of Reserve Classic and Reserve Spice
And in addition to all that – which was already beyond what I was expecting – Charlie found it in his heart to add a GEM G-bar, also known as the Heavy Flat Top. I do enjoy GEM and other vintage Single Edge Razors, and I am beyond excited to add the G-Bar to my rotation.

Thank you for the kind words, Hans. It is my pleasure to share with you. Your Tuesday morning “patent posts” (and the resulting compendium, vol. 1) are a major example of why TSN is my favorite place on the www. This was a gesture of appreciation for that and your friendship. I’m relieved to know the US and Norwegian postal services got the package to your doorstep safely; it was about 3 1/2 weeks in transit!
As always, enjoy your shaves

Doesn’t say too much for Arko, does it?
