Monthly Haul for March

What did the postman bring this month? Show it off here!

I received two new brushes from Rudy Vey; a butterscotch Urn with a TGN Knot and a Black M7 with a Shavemac Knot.

Beautiful Phil. Use them well :mrgreen:

Very nice. I especially like the butterscotch brush.

Thank you...I sent Rudy a Shavemac 2007 LE to loosely copy and this is his interpretation.

I bought this last weekend.

My favorite SE, the Gem OCMM. This is my 4th one but is by far in the best shape of all of them. One of mine will be heading to another home soon which put me over the edge in deciding to purchase this one. Even the box is in great shape.

Been a busy month for me! First came a NOS Sterling 5/8 square point hollow ground. Then a 7/8 Taylor's Eye Witness "The 1000" restored by A. Jaques with carbon scales. Next up is the Cella/Omega boar from the GF for Valentines day. Then the Dandy Dan razor bank and antique clippers (both for display.) Now I am waiting on a lot of Gillettes.. 1 Blue tip SS, 1 Black handled Flair Tip SS, 1 adjustable slim, 1 fat boy, and a SS. Awesome month!

This month I added to my shave cream arsenal with Lavanda, Top Secret and Velerio - thanks Phil!

I picked up a tub of Kiehl's shaving cream for use with a brush. I understand it has been discontinued and found it on sale at an outlet store. It seems that Kiehl's is now only producing a brushless cream.

Shaving brush angels die every time someone utters those horrible words - "b....less cream!"

Hey I'll stop editing my post here soon and have it right! D,

Attachments need to be less than 256 kb, you could always resize the image/reduce resolution etc.

Heralding from Australia, all my shaving related purchases are made online. I enjoy the convenience of shopping from home, but the wait time associated with international shipping requires the patience of a saint. And a saint I'm not especially with hellish delivery times often taking up to a month!

For those with vendors closer to home, it still can be a trying wait even when talking a week or only days.

So why not ease the burden and keep the anticipation alive by sharing with us all on The Shave Nook what you are not so patiently waiting to arrive?

Ok, I'll kick things off...

I'm checking the letterbox daily for:

I should have a new Vie-Long horse and some tubes of La Toja classic by the end of the week. I've begun studying classical guitar and wanted something to set the mood for days where I can practice in the morning. Pics to follow...

Oh yeah, almost forgot that last night Phil sold me his last pot of Cyril Salter Rose. What a great week!

The USPS has been good to me this month.

First they brought me a Semogue 1305 (BullGoose)
   


Then they brought me a Semogue SOC (Lee's Razor)
   


Then they brought me a Semogue 1460 (BullGoose)
   


I am waiting on one more package that might get here before the month is over.

So I may or may not have about 8 things in the mail right now.

- George Johnson Wedge
- Wade and Butcher Round Point
- Wade and Butcher Frameback
- "Adam and Eve" Straight Razor
- Kamisori (unmarked but for cheap!)
- JA Henckles Twin Works "Platinum"
- Lauterjung & Sohn (PUMA) straight razor (not sure on the quality of this one)
- Test Tube Racks to hold all the razors in

This was all purchased in the last month... Can't, help, myself. T;

Where have you sourced your test tube racks?
I have been searching for something suitable for a while now.
