[TomG]

I could not resist, and I bought this empty pottery jar. Resistance was futile.

Genius, Juan.

Not purchased in March but refurbished in March

Gillette Canada to the left along with a Otto Roth. Found these two worriors on e-bay for nearly no money at all. Luckely both where in good condition.

...Omega 10051, the small, short lofted Omega's work great for me; could not find a UK seller for the 10051 though, had to scoure around for a seller...

Obtained recently, a boxed and cased Heavy Flat Top.

It compliments its brother, a boxed and cased Featherweight I've been storing for a while.

I'm keeping both to shave with so I've decided I'll part with my other HFT & Featherweight soon.

 

[Blackmass]

Nice birthday present from the family.

I went to a local chemist to pick up some medication for my dad and look what I found nestling on a shelf - a stick of Wilkinson in the wild!

 

[Bizzyberry]

This just arrived, it was advertised as a Rocket but I am pretty sure it is an Aluminium handled Aristocrat, it weighs 37g. It looked okay in the pics and this is it after just a toothbrush and washing up liquid scrub. The TTO mechanism is the smoothest I have come across. I will see how it shaves in the morning.
