Acquisitions 21st - 27th March

What is the twist Andy?

I've tried Bay Rum with Lime before (St Johns it was) and that was pretty sweet stuff.

Myself, I've just purchased 2 tubes of Speick Cream and a bottle of Speick ASB.
 
Andy so long as you like cloves you'll be fine. Most Bay Rums I've tried have been pretty mild with cloves with the exception of Trumpers Bay Rum which should be called Clove Cologne.
 
No worries there then, I'm partial to cloves whether they're stuck in baked apples, baked ham or a slice of lemon floating in hot whisky. Mind you, a former girlfriend once made me apple crumble with cloves - about 100 of them at least - which is something I'll never be able to forget. :eek:
 
Oh lordy, it was all I could do to attempt to smile and make appreciative noises. I've got the cream in front of me now, but beyond saying that it's decidedly citric I can't really offer much of a description - no surprise there. My wife (whose nose isn't permanently full of wood dust) spotted the cloves straight away though.

I mix a little Harris Bay Rum AS (clovey) with Speick ASB, the spice works well the clove.

The twist with Henk's Bay Rum cream is that is does not smell of cloves.

Gillette Razor
I 'won' this on ebay last week, it only turned up today. Not sure what model it is, or year as there are no stamps on it. It was advertised as from the 50's. It's an open comb which I was after. If you know anymore info let me know. Also these blades were with it. They look to new to be from the 50's. They are not the blue gillette blade Audio lab mentions he likes? The actual blade is black coloured.
