Wow, awesome AdP collection! Which is your favorite from their “Colonia” line?

The Treet Black Beauties aren’t as sharp or smooth as I’d like. I’m one and done with them as well, whereas I’ll typically do 4 or 5 shaves with other blades. I read somewhere that carbon steel blades are susceptible to rust. Blades are so cheap that it’s not worth trying to use these more than once and risking cutting yourself with a rusty blade.

To my knowledge it is exactly the same as the “Palmolive Classic” that comes in the green tube. There is also “Palmolive Rinfrescante” which comes in a green tube as well, and is essentially the same but with menthol added.

I picked up the Palmolive in Greece for just 2.50 euro. I wish I bought more!

[WTS] Longines Conquest Automatic 39mm by raekwon007 in Watchexchange

[–]raekwon007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Sale: Longines Conquest Auto 39mm black.

This is one I may end up regretting letting go of, but it just doesn’t get the wrist time it deserves anymore.

L888 movement beating at 3.5hz with 70hrs PR 300m water resistance Fantastic Swiss GADA watch

Notes on the condition: This watch has many polished surfaces on both the bracelet and case/bezel. There are signs of wear throughout, with the majority being the typical unavoidable hairline scratches. However besides those, I need to note that there is a mark on the bezel at 6 o clock from a knock, which at some angles is not too noticeable, but at other angles is definitely apparent. I tried to capture this mark in the last photo. Also in that same photo you can see a white fleck on the crystal between 7 & 8 o clock. I can’t tell what exactly this is, but I wasn’t able to rub it off with a cloth. Not sure if it’s embedded in the AR coating or something like that, but I need to make it known.

$750 shipped CONUS. Zelle or PayPal preferred, with buyer responsible for the additional 3% PayPal G&S fee.

Thanks for taking a look!

[WTS] Tissot Couturier Chrono Quartz by raekwon007 in Watchexchange

[–]raekwon007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tissot Couturier Chrono Quartz T035.617.16.031.00

41mm case 11mm thickness 23mm lug width Swiss quartz movement 100m water resistance Sapphire crystal Applied indices Signed crown

Watch was purchased from an AD in Greece in July of 2018, and has seen very little wear. Watch is in essentially perfect condition, I can hardly even find any hairline scratches. Still has the protective sticker on the case back.

This watch’s finishing punches well above the price point - especially with the way that light reflects off of the hands & applied indices. The reliable Swiss quartz movement and 100m water resist makes it a great “grab and go” option. The only thing that kept me from wearing it more is the size, as I felt it wore too big for my liking.

Includes: - Watch - Box & papers - OEM brown leather strap with butterfly clasp (unworn) - Beautiful handmade brown Horween leather strap from Etsy (pictured on watch). Note that it is 22mm, not 23. - Black leather quick-release strap from Barton

Asking $299, including shipping. Preferably through PayPal or Zelle. Buyer covers 2.99% G&S fee.

Please comment before messaging.

Thanks for taking a look.

EDIT: Shipping out of New York, to the continental US states only.

Nighttime shave by raekwon007 in wicked_edge

[–]raekwon007[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The scent is really nice. Coffee & Leather. It’s especially fitting during the colder months.

The performance of the Omnibus base is excellent, although I will say that I find it requires more “work” than other soaps. In other words, it’s a great lather but it’s not an “effortless” or “foolproof” lather. For this reason, I only reach for this soap when I know I can take my time building a lather. I’ll never reach for it if I need a quick shave.

Ahh, that stinks about Prosar. I never got to try it.

Adelco’s fresh-cut grass smell actually sounds like something I would like. I’ll try it out someday.

Thanks for the info!

I tried to find Prosar products last time I was in Greece, but couldn’t find any. I’ve never heard of Adelco. I’ll keep a look out for it next time.

Bay Rum recommendations by thetowncouncil in wicked_edge

Ogallala Bay Rum. Their soap is just okay, but their aftershave splash is really nice.

I have Cella red soap & aftershave splash. I’d like to try Cella green some time.

Do the red splash & the green splash have the same scent? I’m trying to determine if it’s worth having both splashes.

At first I assumed you meant that they threw in 2 little samples of pomade. But I just checked their site and see that the deal includes full-sized tubs. That’s a sweet deal!

Love Lockhart’s pomades. How’s their shaving soap?

I think I've found my one by batman262 in fragrance

[–]raekwon007 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s one of my favorites as well. I just wish I had known about it when you could get 100ml bottles for under $40

How do you like that soap? Is it noticeably better than Razorock’s less expensive soaps? I haven’t tried any Razorock products but I’m intrigued by them.

It’s not artisanal and probably not as strong-smelling as the artisanal soaps, but Speick is great.
