Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

I'm kind of an S.V. addict

I haven't used Saponifico Varesino for a while, it's great stuff though. Keep meaning to get some more but have about 3 years worth of creams/soaps to get through 1st

I here you Mark. I stopped buying soaps for maybe 12 months. I used up most of the good stuff and the ordinary soaps were used up in the shower. Got my soap stock way down. Now I can load up again

Using the less good ones in the shower, that?s a good idea. Gonna give that a go to thin the herd. I too love SV and haven't used it in a while..
Cheers for the tip.

Yep, I got into soap crazes. Thankfully, some friends sent some samples.... Bought some too. What I did not like, I passed on.
Geez, I think I tossed some old Razorock. three tubs. Half used. Soaps last forever when in a rotation with a few others. Some seem to fade.
May as well use the best. Darry gave me a jar of MDC original in 2011 I think. Lots left, 1/3 jar (glass!}.

A big 'Ice cream bowl} of the stuff is in my cave with a glass dome over it. Hope to live long enough to use it up. Optimistic!

MikeB52 gave me a jar of Argumes a LONG while back. Still half there. Stuff multiplys!

Tc sent a generous sample of Rose years ago. Still rocking.

HarryWally the MAN sent me a custom turned bowl with Savonniere de Moulin.Back when!
Stuff is crazy. Looks like a miniature dried-out honeycomb.. A hot water soak brings it alive. I cannot tell I have made a dent? Great lather and scent still.

Only thing I have replaced are Proraso red and green and Trumper's Limes (which is getting closer to finally going in)

I am always intrigued with other things. Guess I have to sit pat these days

150 rds of vintage 25-20 WCF for my model '92 Winchester.

Won them at an auction and got them for a decent price; lower at least than the $2.55 /rd they usually are...MAN, I gotta start reloading!

Looking for something I don't have I came across listings for Rolls Razors. Never really looked at them very seriously but, as I had heard there are still a bunch out there for sale and they range from flawless to trashed, dirt cheap to ridiculous in price. I looked at a bunch of them and landed on this one which seemed the best balance of condition and price.

The Imperial model with a spare blade. The case, which looks to be pigskin seems in pretty good condition




The strop and hone look to be lightly if ever used from what I can tell. Of course I still don't really know what I'm looking at. I guess I'll know better when it arrives.


The spare blade looks pretty much pristine.


Never used or even done more than glanced at one in person but it seems an interesting idea and clever design.

Looks like a nice one and honed up they do shave well.

I was hoping so. It started out as a look at SE's which I don't have. I used to use one of my dad's but haven't had or used one since the 70s...an SE that is.
