Acquisitions - December 2022

Phins are alright so long as you don't use Viet coffee. Almost all of it is low grade Robusta and tastes like the water on the floor after the fire brigade have put out a pile of burning tyres! At least, that's been my experience in Vietnamese restaurants. Food lovely, coffee grim! Coffee with condensed milk is one of my favourite things though, but I have asiático, from Cartagena. Espresso, condensed milk, Licor 43, brandy, lemon zest and cinnamon. Mmm!
 
Cheap as chips boar brush. Having given it a lather, I reckon it's a good knot - but then I'm cheap. The handle could be finished better :eek:
 
Where abouts are you based? If you live in a bigger city, or pass through one which have a few Asian grocer type places, I'd recommend popping in. Sometimes they stock alum blocks in the misc section.
Ironically despite being a big store and doing the alum blocks they had absolutely no other shaving related stuff. Not even disposable cartridges or Denim aftershave.

Definitely worth popping into these kinds of places if you can.
