Well the poll voted 9-5 Sunday over Monday so I have to assume that Sunday is the day that everyone wants. This is the last ISD of the year!
The first Sunday of December is the 3rd so we will send 2006 packing with Gillette 58' TV razors!
I have seen many in the SOTDs so we may get a few by default!
Also seeing as it is December and a cold month I thought that a nice woody Sandalwood would be appropriate. A nice almost campfire type of smell. I will be using Truefitt & Hill but any Sandalwood will do.
So remember the best way to show your ISD set up off is with a picture! Start gathering your check list and get what you need to send finish the 2006 ISDs!

Well, heck. That's what I've got it on now.
All I need to do now is melt down a pair of sandals into shaving cream. Shouldn't be too hard. If I start boiling now and keep adding water until December 1, they ought to be pretty liquefied by then. Two days to let the stuff cool, and I'll be set!

Well, if we ever have a Coates ISD (which given the limited supply, probably not a wise idea.) you can slather on that Tea Tree like it is going out of style .

So are you trying to say you don't have any Sandalwood in your rotation? I will try to find a sample container to put some in if you need some. We wouldn't want you running arround with boiling sandals in the middle of winter! Would that be along the same lines as putting hot coals in your plastic trash can?

Nope. No sandalwood. No rotation, for that matter. I have two soaps and one cream, and the glycerine soap is about to run out.
Hey, if I boil down my Birkenstocks, do I get patchouli?
Well, I cant use a Gillette cause I dont have one. Someone tell me what the best sandalwood cream is. I do have a Trumper Sandalwood cake of soap and I love that Sandalwood smell. In fact, so much so that I am thinking of ditching rose creams and going with my Castle forbes, and one cream of Sandalwood, and then using say Trumpers rose soap and limes.
Well I don't have much experience in the Sandalwood department. I have The Truefitt & Hill and Causwell Massey. Both have a good scent but the T&H is easier to work with. I think the T&H also is a slight bit more woodsy as well.

I will try to see tonight if I have a container to send you some to get you through the ISD.

Sam, I just recently got me a cake of Trumper sandalwood soap and it is the best soap I have tried. I guess that that will do.

Yes, there won't be too many people joing me for a Coates Tea Tree day because it's so rare to get now. By the time I run out of it, (oh, in about 20 years), maybe Coates will have released some new formulations.

Charlie, Well, I'm certainly set to go. I use my '58 TV model Superspeed more then any other razor anyway. And, I have that pot of the fine Coate's Sandalwood shave cream about. An excellent choice on your part, I must say ( chuckle ).

Just for the record you can participate even if you don't have either of them. In the past it was just the cream but I thought it would be cool to add razors to ISD as well. This one looks like it will send off 2006 in style! Now I have to get thinking on the January 1, 2007 ISD!
Hmm.... Well, first question is QED soap, or Trumper cream. Leaning toward the Trumper, I think. Or maybe I'll have the Trumper soap by them. I would join Gordon in using Coates, but even in NYC I can no longer find Coates Sandalwood. Very unfortunate.
As for razor. I do not have a TV. Or any late model SS. So... what should use, of my Gillette stable? I suppose a 40s SS would be the closest thing I have. But sort of boring. I could break in my new Aristocrat, although it has as little in common with the TV as a Gillette fixed TTO could. Hmm... probably the SS. I'm nuts if I think I'll be able to WAIT to try the Aristocrat.
-Mo
Alrighty, stickim up and hand over the Coates real nice and slow like....
Mo, Yep, sounds like the Trumper's cream and the classic SS. Although nothing else is quite like the Coate's Sandalwood cream, the Trumpers is probably the closest. And, after that TV model, I probably use my '40s SS the most these days. While not the same, they are quite similiar. So, you're close to 'on task' with this.
