Congratulations Brian.

Got my ridged shaving bowl from Fine Accoutrements, took just over a week all the way from USA (made in Thailand).
It's a simple porcelain bowl but the thing that makes it stand out is that someone has thought long and hard about the design. It fits nicely in my palm with my thumb going through the handle or it can be held like a mug with my thumb resting on the top of the handle. It's shallow enough not to clank against the brush but deep enough to hold a deal of lather and wide enough for lots of brush motion. Handle acts as a brush stand and ridges there to do business.

Such a simple design and well executed. I'll be giving this a go tomorrow.

Shown here against my Vulfix 404 mixed brush for size comparison.

Oww thats very slick!

Today arrived 2 x Wickham Club Cola Super Smooth courtesy of Connaught Shaving. After having tried the sampler I just HAD to get this, especially as it might never be made again. Luckily the TSRNIS 10% code worked for this, so in essense free shipping
Yay!

Simpsons Classic 1 synthetic and a Futur style handle for my Mongoose head. Made in the machine shop at work, a little bit rough in comparison to some of the more polished machinists on this forum but if the design works in making the razor less head-heavy then I'll work on it's presentation.

PICTURES!

Steve Woodhead scuttle from SWMBO, ikon OSS deluxe, ikon OC deluxe, ikon standard deluxe, ikon razor stand, frank shaving purtech plus about 100 mixed blades.
Traded a few items and didn't mean to get three ikons in a week. Looking to shift at least one on but they all look so good.
No software this week but a few ideas for next week. Just need some funds.

You need a bottle of something eastern orientated to go with those: Jade East EDT, maybe?

Quorum worked today mate

I'm glad scents are not one of my ADs

 

[AlexNoodles]

I casually mentioned a while back I wouldn't mind some Old Spice AS & EDT..
This I was given earlier today by my honey :

Think I might keep her!

 

[pjgh]

What a catch!

I recently managed to obtain my holiest of holy grails, an NOS vintage (sticker had to be replaced) Plisson Plexiglass HWM, Size 18:

Here it is alongside a Chubby 2 2-Band Silvertip, for size and hair comparison purposes:

This is only the second brush in a long time that has properly grabbed my attention. The other was another Plisson of yours. Ugh!
