I got 96 (ordered 100) Gillette Super Thin Blades from Huny from ebay.

Got Vietnamese ones this time instead of Thai. Is there much difference? Like a chalk and cheese difference.

I couldn't tell much difference between the two, if anything though i just preferred the feel of the Vietnamese ones which is why i bought a couple of hundred from Hyun rather than the guy from Thai ;) :)
 
Got a Monsavon bowl today, apparently very good, and very cheap will try this soon ;)

Small parcel from Germany today, containing a very slim razor, and a stick of divinely scented soap :lol:

I really couldn't be bothered to set up a tripod this time, opting instead to mutilate the shaky photo even more. The monster Hamburg Ring is there to show how skinny the other one is. It's a Fermarud, by Gebrüder Lang.

Oh good. I love confusing people without even having to do anything surreal or even 'somewhat odd'. They are itemised, in my own way, and I did email to give advanced notice. Have fun. :)

On the acquisition front here at home:

Dateline: Wednesday, 01-09-2010.

Today the post brought a plethora of goodies. Including a replacement razor head from EJ/TESC; a pot of Proraso soap from Nigel (thanks dude!); Nanny's own handmade soapy grandness in the forms of her new (and splendidly scented according to first whiff test) Rose Geranium soap, along with an equal amount of her new formula/olde tyme odour Eucalyptus soap (smells quite interesting actually - still not sure why all those Koalas get so ultimate fanboy about it but, hey, to each their own), and a teeny-tottle-in-a-tiny-bottle of her Warm Spice cream (ta muchly Sharon!).

From the bay d'E-ness an ultrasonic cleaner by Delta High Living (who wha??)! Anyone used one by this brand? - or got the URL for the instruction manual (for the 600ml sized one)?

  • Still waiting on some spindles from the states from cooncat bob (about a month now - bloody terrorists messing with my shaving fun!), and trade stuffs from Manish of Maharaja Shaving, in Mumbai (bloody monsoons and flus messing with my shaving fun!!)[/list:u]
      • Time to eat, maybe play with the USCleanie-thing then maybe try and set up a no-holds-barred eXtrEme lather contest to see what new soap to use in tonight's shave.
          • Or work on my "eenie meeney miny mo" skills, perhaps.[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
