I was pretty disappointed that the package I was waiting for didn't arrive today. I really expected it today. But the mail ran and no package. I received a call from my mother a little while ago. It seems that the package was there. I guess the postman forgot to leave it on the normal mail run and at some point after they had collected the mail he had come back to leave the box. I went right down to get it.
Upon opening the box I found all of the items I had ordered. There were five packs of Feather razor blades, a bottle of Bay Rum aftershave, and a Merkur HD Slant Bar razor. Oh joy! I just had to splash on some of the bay Rum right away. This stuff has a wonderful old school masculine scent.
The Slant razor looks like something designed and built by a drunk but has a reputation for delivering a very close shave. I'm looking forward to trying it tomorrow. I am curious as to whether it's as good as everyone says. Of course it also has a reputation for being a tad dangerous to use, especially with a Feather blade. That just adds to the fun.
I love Christmas no matter when it comes around.
