Every day is a a day of heavy financial loss at the Emporium

As the Emporium's official accountant, a statement like makes grim reading.

The one in the top looks best imo

How much do these cost each? Actually scratch that maybe I shouldn't ask lol

There's no going rate for them Saj as they're unobtainium now. I was fortunate to receive it at a friend's rate.

That's right - my collection is complete. The Brass General courtesy of the awesome @Satanfriendly - thank you Chris. Here's the full suite of Generals :

I was resigned to never owning the brass one so ordered the LE brass Stando Rod from Poland which is a beautiful looking AC SE. Brass razors - just like buses!

A few financial adjustments now required this month.

And of course you are most welcome. It had to be done to make the shaving books balance. And my marriage to the same token

Priceless (to anyone else that would have been)

It seems the Emporium facilitates happy endings in both directions of their transactions.

The Emporium's growth in the last 24 months has surpassed expectations and it was clear external assistance was required, which involves referring to myself in third person, a few euphemisms here and there and referencing the Arko Man wherever possible.

Some Palmolive sticks lurking in a local chemist. It would have been rude to have left them alone.

todays mail call - Cerberus trifecta and chaotic neutral courtesy of slickboys … plus a number of samples (way more than I’ve expected! ) kindly received from @Mike Smart - thank you!
There’s a number of great scents there , as well as I’m looking forward to trying few new bases to me - especially PAA

Your Welcome mate hope there’s some you like.
Blades Are Class

got a few shavettes including dovo and Bluebeard revenge in a nice little case, just wanted to ask if this the right insert for standard SE blades in the attached pic?

I would only use cabinet blades in the Dovo, thus making it a Sifter...

120 Wilkinson Sword WII's carts by Gillette from Japan. 65 NOS made in Russia Slaloms carts, and 15 Sensor carts - ten kindly traded with Paul/Hotmetal. I have 3000 to 4000 GII/Contour compatible carts, so I needed another 185...

Wanted a stand that would actually fit my brushes but still had a small footprint. I'd looked at the alpha metal stands but looked to be out of stock. Saw this one and thought I'd give it a bash. After receiving it I could have just made it myself, and with nicer material, but happy enough

Back from working away for most of the week to find this sitting on my desk. I can't believe the wife didn't open it and have a rummage!
