What are you anxiously waiting to be delivered ???

I just ordered 100 Super Gillette Blue Blades from a purported P&G authorized vendor on Alibaba in China for $20 and change including shipping. Luckily, that vendor took Paypal so I will have some recourse on the chance that they are counterfeit. We shall see in a month or so. :unsure:
Still waiting for my 2 Oumo Brush Knots after 6 weeks...............................you won't see the blades for awhile......
 
I've got several things in the mail that should be arriving over the next few days:

From Stirling:

Queen of Hearts shaving soap
Hipster shaving soap
Stirling Spice shaving soap
Satsuma shaving soap
Mountain Man shaving soap
Satsuma Aftershave Splash

From eBay

Old Spice shaving mug

From West Coast Shaving

3 Proraso Green Pre-Shave cream (hoarding since the plant shut-down may cause shortages)
100 Gillette Platinum blades

From Sid Mashburn company

3 Musgo Real Lime Glyce Soap ( hoarding since I'm suspecting it's no longer made. I've been scouring the net, buying it where I can find it. I'm up to 10 pucks. All the traditional outlets have been out for some time)

Other that these, I'm done for a couple of months while I save up for a Simpson's Chubby 2 in Best.

Everything has arrived except the Musgo Real Lime Glyce soaps. I also ordered 3 more pucks direct from Claus Porto, which will bring my stash to 8 pucks. If it has indeed been discontinued, I'll have a good long time to try and find a replacement Pre-shave face wash I enjoy as much. So far, I've tried Stirling Charcoal Face Soap, but it's kind of unsightly, in terms of the black drips all over the soap dish. Next up will be the Neutrogena Glycerine Face Bar.

I live in Europe and I'm experiencing quite some delays in the in the USPS international shipping, more people have this issue? USPS is telling me that us customs is the issues, but with FedEx and DHL i don't have this issue

I’m concerned about it, and generally avoiding having anything sent from the US for the time being. Thankfully @Chad here has been willing to hold onto my Cadre Anniversary package, it’s the only thing i have in the pipeline.

Oh and if I haven‘t said it before, it’s nice to see some other people in Europe here. :)
 
With all the uncertainty COVID has brought, I’m not really able to buy much now. The Mrs. has been put on reduced hours. And anything extra is going into piecing together a workable home gym. Home gym equipment is one area that’s very hot now, it’s pretty hard to find anything, or lead times are long.

I needed a full size barbell which are like hen’s teeth now. I had this one in mind, and all I knew was they would be in sometime in the first half of May, and when they did come in they would sell out within 1-2 hours.

I got lucky, I did my daily check, and then felt like looking at eye candy for a bit, and by happenstance, circled back to the barbell. It was in suddenly in stock and thankfully the CC number was already in the system. As predicted a couple of hours later they were gone.

Thankfully my shave experience served me well as we all know a 2 hour window is huge when you want some Talbot soap. But then the two week window for when the product would be available was it’s own challenge, I wasn’t even ready to seriously start looking yet.
