Mail Call!

A few Stirling splashes and a puck of Island Man acquired for me by a buddy in the US.

You may notice duplicates of the scents in the samples, I am thinking PIF if anyone is interested :)

Ive been wanting to try the Cade for a while and picked this up for $85.00 as a fathers day special.

Nice choices from the splash range - interested to hear your thoughts.
 
Lets recap shall we?
930 Modern vintage Polsilver Browns/SS
B&M Cologne Russe Soap & A/S
B&M Beudelaire Soap & A/S
B&M Latha Sandlewood
Fine L'Orange Nior soap & A/S
and half of @Anthony's personal collection that went up for sale, along with a few more of his soaps.
Not too bad for a birthday month :)


Oh and who could forget, SHAVING SHOP SAMPLES, along with a few others from a certain Shavemac withholder that shall go unnamed!
*Grumbles about lack of man sized Shavemac's for sale in Australia*
 
Every once in a while, you stumble across a genuine bargain, and you know that resistance is futile. I picked this up locally last weekend (Near mint condition):-

A five piece Kronos set with the M2, R2 and H2 open comb plates.

Isn't envy one of the seven deadly sins?
Would of thought a happy clapper as a moderated and studiously advanced as yourself would be largely immune.
If it was the bronze set though, no one within their right mind could blame you ;)

As far as I can determine, according to Aquinas, they are -
  1. hubris, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greed
  2. greed, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lust
  3. lust, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envy
  4. malicious envy, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluttony
  5. gluttony, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrath
  6. inordinate anger, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloth_(deadly_sin)
  7. sloth
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloth_(deadly_sin)
No direct Biblical list of such though.

Oh I wish!

I can relate to Paul - 'This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners"--and I am the worst of them all.' 1 Tim 1:15

OK, @gthomas04 - cheek turned, over to you now :)
