March 2018 Acquisitions

Not shaving-related, but in the category of grooming, I guess, two new RFID-blocking wallets from Rogue Industries, one black and one brown.

I had one of their front-pocket wallets and the bloody thing started falling apart after less than six months. After contacting them, I got no joy, so I'm afraid I wouldn't go near them. YMMV

That's discouraging. I hope my experience is different.

OSP Fougere from a trade. Lovely scent but would like it to mask the soap-base a little more from the tub! That is me just being fussy, however. I'm sure during the shave will be a different experience

Received a lovely bottle of fake Issey Miyake from eBay

"Return initiated"...

In Sainsbury's I picked up the Palmolive Cream and the mailman delivered an unbleached & a bleached Zenith both ordered from TVB

Timor blue steel SR... Amazing what a little Peek polish can do

Freidrich Herder 77 arrived today from Japan. It's brand new and super shiny


Heavier than my other straight too. Should be a nice change. AND NO CUSTOMS CHARGES

Give it some water, Steve.... it's distressed.

My Schick Proline P-30's have landed from Japan, always amazes me how efficient Japan is when I order from there. Posted on the 2nd March and arrived on the 8th. I didn't realise it was a packof 30 blades, superb value and I'm looking forward to giving them a run out this weekend. If they are anything like the B-20's then a treat to use indeed.

Another pleasant transaction with @Olie29 for some Fine L'Orange Noir, which turned up today without any issues!

Olfactive Studio - Close Up. A gorgeous fragrance which I would have completely overlooked had it not been for a little sample. The seller of this also, very kindly, included samples of Xerjoff Nio and Diptyque Oyedo!
