April 2018 Acquisitions

In a moment of madness:

Slightly cheaper than the Personna 74 blades I bought two years ago, these blades - with shipping and import charges - cost me £2.71.
Each.

A hand-painted pottery mug that I picked up today at a local thrift store for $1.49. The bottom of the bowl has texture, so lather building should be easy when I take the mug on our weekend driving trips to B&Bs.

What a find! Well done.

Really impressed with Connaught Shaving, ordered yesterday and arrived this morning!
Yaqi brush from AliExpress, took a bit longer

Picked up some interesting stuff in Porto (again!). Looking forward to trying the Schick blades and the Gem.

Wickham was on wishlist for long time. Out of nowhere I ordered osp and fine even if I'm trying not to buy more soaps. Some blades for testing got in cart to.

My Seygus arrived and I gave the head a clean and quick polish with MAAS. I did not bother polishing the handle as I am going to let it develop some patina anyway. I have always liked the idea of an OC Seygus but this came up on eBay at reasonable price and I was the only bidder.
