Acquisitions April 2026

[chazt]

Continuing the influx of goods from my March Madness. My most recent BullGoose order arrived a day ahead of schedule. This will likely be my final BGS order. A fitting farewell for a dozen years of purchases . Phil tossed in a few extra goodies. As ever, never expected, always appreciated.

The Trac II looks like the Colonel Conk handle I used to see years ago. Phil must’ve found it when he was cleaning out the back room. He also included a tube of Proraso post shave nick gel and a 4711 bath soap. I’m building the courage to shave with an open blade

The wife printed me this Glow in the dark shaving Bowl and Henson razor with her new printer.

Wow on the Feather straight and congratulations. I started with the guarded blades and moved to the Super Professional. Enjoy!!

Thanks. When I use it the first time I figure it’ll just be one or two strokes under my sideburn down to the jaw line then finish with a safety razor. The operative word there is when.

I did the same.

Someone advised me to begin by laying to razor flat against the face and raising just a tad to shave.

You might experience some tugging or resistance.

Chuck, as long as I don’t experience blood it’ll be a rollicking success. I’ve been practicing the downward stroke without any blade installed. So far no blood

I recently picked up a pair of straight razors Boker and Clauss) in a case. Both need a good cleaning and a fresh edge.

I am not buying anything like Creams, or Croaps until I move some New Unopened Soaps I listed yesterday on E-bay, proving for some sale.

Looks like an homage to Timeless?
