February 2018 Acquisitions

[Blademonkey]

A busy mail call day today, some arriving unexpectedly quickly.

• Shave Dash order - Grated 120g of the 250g Dusy Kabinett into an empty jar. Looking forward to trying it tomorrow, nice subtle rose scent. Excited to finally try some P.160
  
• Yaqi Double Open Comb - On first inspection very good quality and I would say on looks a better build than the PAA version.
  
• Simpsons Milk Churn Best Badger - I have eyd one for a while and couldn't resist myself.

Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Shaving Cream.

Lucky to pick this up for a tenner at my staff discount shop (no, I don't work at Penhaligon's) or else I would never have paid the retail price.
Having said that, the tube is an enormous 150ml which is twice the size of other creams I've paid the same price for.
I've used it few times now and for the scent I'd rate it top marks; just wonderful and not too strong like a lot of 'merican soaps are. I've also found that you only need a tiny amount to produce a decent sized lather, so therefore not making a really pricey product when you take all things into account.
Performance was well above average; no complaints to be made. Skin conditioning is surprising good with no dryness or tightness afterwards.
A purchase I'm well pleased with.

Great razor choice and that cologne is one of my favourites.

I am weak!! But for some things you have to strike whilst the iron is hot. Last Milk Churn in stock, rarity of the soaps .... That's what I am telling myself anyway

Two Band Badger arrived on Friday
I chose the same handle as my Tuxedo as I find it good to hold and use.

Ordered a tube of La Toja shaving cream as the current tube is half gone and going to give the rest to my brother. Tub of Murray's black beeswax pomade(non shave related) and a tube of Viking shaving cream from Bulgaria, I thought it worths a try at £3.30 including postage.
