Acquisitions 1 July - 31 July, 2016

A custom Egyptian Musk shaving soap from Dapper Dragon Soaps arrived. It looks more like a cream-soap; I haven't used any of their products before, so I don't know if all their soaps have that consistency. The scent in the jar, rather than being the dark, heavy, animalic musk that I expected, is actually light, sweet, and fresh, but rich. No doubt it will be a little different when lathered.

20 NOS Schick Super Krona Injector Blades from eBay.

Need to see how these bad boys play in my Injecto-matic. First though I need to find out how to separate the blades; they seem stuck together with time.

Well done, good find.

Nice porcelain soap dish from a local junk shop for £2. Diameter 100mm so should be able to hold the odd puck of soap.

Ever-Ready Peerless set, unused, cased and boxed with instructions and Corrux blades. I say Ever-Ready, although the razor is a Gem, made in England

While up here Orkney came across the 'Orkney Soap Co' so was only right to buy some of their rose shaving soap. Smells nice enough and will wait until home to trial.

I don't understand this. Can someone please post a link to the soap for me - sounds right up my street but I can't find it.
