A couple of days ago I received a PM (completely out of the blue) from @Jel999 ,asking if I'd like to try some blades? Well I thought it would be rude not to. The blades arrived this morning and I'm bold over.

But it's the members that make this forum the best. From the warm welcome I received, to the ongoing advice and encouragement.
....Oh and did I forget the photography?

No, I did that with a Bulldog before, and although Jay did a great job on it, I finally did not like it as much as a stock handle, so I sold it.
Heard good things about them Japanese twin blades

3 bars of bath soap from eBay for a couple of quid. Hmm, sandalwoody . Interestingly it says "Govt. Soap Factory, Bangalore" on one side; not sure if that's good or bad.
A pen case for my desk from a stall on this weekend's Southport Flower Show. Made in Morocco from cedarwood, smells great. The pictures don't due it justice, the craftsmanship is surprisingly good.
Signature Soaps Shaving soap - Cedarwood and Peppermint (see the theme here?).
Tried this morning; not bad at all. Basically a locally produced (Bolton) glycerine soap with a fantastic scent, faint wafts of which stayed with me for an hour or so afterwards; really refreshing.
The soap maker was at the Southport Flower Show and was telling me that he makes the soaps for Murdock (rebranded) for a very much higher price. For £8 you certainly get a lot of soap for your money; the tub's just about full!
If you're interested he'll be at the Bolton Food Festival next weekend.

After just one week traveling, the parcel from Moscow arrived safe in Copenhagen.
The content was 3 Titanium handles from Stork Razors:
From left to right:
- EX3 handle 95 mm
- Aristocrat 2 handle 95 mm
- RWD handle 90 mm
These are 3 beautys and each of them looks great. in terms of ergonomics and handling I am most looking forward to test the RWD.
Best Regards
Marco

I just received a Brooks Brothers NOS puck of shaving soap
And a Sunny Jim aluminum razor handle. The handle looks well made. It is extremely lightweight, so it will be interesting to try with my AS-D2 heads.
