My wife swears by a good serum, so I pulled the trigger on this Anthony Vitamin C Facial Serum last week, during the 'Black Friday' sales. I gotta say that I am seriously impressed with it. My face feels noticeably better from using after applying an aftershave balm (but before my moisturiser). Easy to apply & isn't at all greasy. My skin loves it, so it's well & truly part of my post shave ritual now.

Also picked up a bottle of Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone. Great scent.

The Joe Malone Pomegranate is my wife's favourite, I've bought it for her Christmas.....

I know it's marketed as a unisex scent, but on my skin, It comes off as very masculine. My wife also enjoys it too.

Acqua di Parma Colonia Body Cream, which I am going to try as an aftershave balm, hoping my skin tolerates it better than it did the regular aftershave and balm.

actually I'm cheating a bit as I got this yesterday but who cares!

Superb condition gents leather travel set

Inside is this little collection

The leather topped clothes brush has a zip open top and look what was inside?

A lovely English made Gillette Tech and a couple of blades the like I've not seen before?

The blades really are blue?

Photobucket is messing me about big time and I can't orientate the last pic without it crashing!!!! :-(

Great stuff...love the Techs.

Arrived this morning...my awaited Schick E type (an E3, I think...striation on bar, fixed spring, flaps at side of spring). Came through the post from U.S. ...no duty!! Under £20.
Looking forward to using this one; based on reading Billy, Paul et al. 2 or 3 days growth required to make it sing.

My brush from Deruitem came today:

A couple still damp after a lather:

Matt from Deruitem Shaving on Etsy has built a couple of brushes for me now. He is an excellent craftsman, and takes a lot of care in his work. I am very pleased.

The Black Friday discount was too tempting. Today the three Pannacrema Nuavia scents arrived secure.

I gave in also and all 3 have arrived, wonderful soaps!

Got my Xmas presents from Shave Lounge:

• ATT SE1
• Kai Captain blades
• Feather Pro Super blades
• Marvis Amarelli Liquorice Mint Toothpaste

All have to go back in the box until Xmas though.

Also went to the Grassington "Dickensian" Xmas market and saw this little locally made pottery pot and thought it ideal for soaking my brush while I take a shower.
