Hagner Cosmetic (chh-cosmetic.de)

CHH cosmetic in Germany. A small company located in The Black Forest. I believe @DaveinKY and I are the only people in the US that have it. :cool:
It's that damn cool.;)
I was never able to find a way to get it stateside through any seller or distributor. So I went outside the box. And was lucky enough to find someone in Germany that was traveling to the US. He brought two bottles in his carry on. Then posted them up to me from Florida, when he got to the states. I sent him a few American Made straights in appreciation for his efforts. He didn't even want reimbursed for the cost of them or shipping. Good guy.
Dave has surprised me multiple times with things. So I figured i would send him some AS that I knew he didn't have.
To be honest it's a nice drug store brand of AS. But it's not OMG I never want to be without it.
 
3BFBD447-AAA1-4D5F-9839-3D16DD57DB4A.jpegWell guys, usually I am pretty jovial and upbeat. Right now however that is not really possible. As I will be sharing some bad news.
My buddy of 14 years, Bandit. Is no longer able to be by my side. Several weeks ago his eating habits changed drastically. My wife being a registered Vet Tech. Is very knowledgeable about animals. And her diagnoses of the cause was proven by a chest x-ray. Bandit had cancer in his lymph nodes. For the past few years we have nursing him along as he also had Kuching's Disease. The symptoms of that I would not have known to look for. But luckily she did. So we caught that early and had been successfully treating it. We now had a scenario with no good outcome. We tried every remedy for his lack of appetite to include a brand new product. But even my wife's skill and experience could not turn things around. Starting on Tuesday his respiration became elevated. Wednesday night neither Bandit or I got alot of sleep. He was beginning to struggle. So I had to make the most difficult decision anyone can have to make. Even though we had a couple of weeks to prepare ourselves mentally. Nothing like this will ever be an easy thing. From this point forward there will forever be a void in our hearts and home.
 
Sorry for your loss, Ken. I've had a few pets euthanized over the years, and it always has been sad. Loss of such an integral part of your family is hard.

Yesterday’s shave.
Genco Easy Aces razor.
Moon Old School Soap
Yaqui Badger Brush
Vanilla and Bourbon Nivea

First time out for Moon soaps for me. The medium strength scent is nice. I’ll withhold judgment about performance until a few more uses. Going to play around with water ratios.
 
The Moon soap base can be pretty sticky when loading but it takes a lot of water and works up quite nicely given a little attention. 👍
