my comment was directed to the buyer of the strop in post #2060. He just said it was produced locally, but didnt say where. Sorry for the confusion, must have hit quick reply instead of reply with quote.Quote:

Sheesh I hate winter.
Really like my Tallow based Tiki bar soap and wanted another. Saw a new scent, Star Anise by them and pulled the trigger. I love black licorice, so I'm hoping this to be a scent I really enjoy.
Also bought Saponificio Varesino Aromatic Fern. Mainaman ( Stefan ) had recommended this brand in another thread, and I saw they had it in Fougere scent so I got one of these too. I've also been wanting a fern scented soap so I thought this might be a really good one to get.
Looking forward to using both!
After a strange trip across the pacific and lots of crazy tracking updates from USPS. My B-Day present from my son in Japan has arrived.
First the packaging:
Attachment 206934
It arrived wet moldy and covered with some sorta grease. In a nice plastic bag from USPS apologizing for the condition of the package.
No idea what happened to it, but based on the tracking it shipped all the way to SFO and then returned to Okinawa and then back to Denver before delivery. Craziest thing I've ever seen with a package.
And the contents (luckily it survived).
Attachment 206935
I nice Higonokami pocket knife with an inscription on the handle and Father & Son in Kanji stamped on the blade.
Love it.

Two vintage NOS Shulton Old Spice Mugs with soap. Very pleased as I haven't had OS shave soap since high school!!

Figured,Even if it is sent two day USPS (that you paid for) any APO has to go thru San Fran and it sits there for 5 days.Quote:

6/8" half-hollow with Celluloid Scales and (except the Rust) NOS in my Eyes, didnt found any Signs of use, only signs of sad storage. It cam for 9$ (inkl. shipping) from France and i believe that it was sold in the Parfumerie Ivanoff in Paris in the first half of the 20th. Century.

I've got some Gold Dollars in the mail right now. God I love those things. Just order a few, hone them up nice...use them and then sell them on for a little profit.....then use what I save to buy a sweet Fili. I wish I could make them look like those Vorpal ones though. They look awesome. Has anyone else used a GD or have any tips? Thanks in advance.
Snagged my second Palmera #14 off Spanish eBay, looks like it will clean up nicely, beautiful razors.

There's dozens of horn bowls for sale on eBay. You don't turn a bowl out of horn, you press or form it.Quote:
