Acquisitions Monday 4th to Sunday 10th March

[Jamies]

This arrived in today's post.

A nearly flawless Karl Engels 'Emir' slant. The seller's photos show a bit of dirt and marks, but upon close inspection it should clean off nicely. Well chuffed as I've been trying to snag a Emir for a while.

Is some lucky bugger going to post a NOS gillette red tip that ended on the bay last night

Got this stuff a few weeks ago and put it aside till tomorrow (my birthday). But I do confess to having taken an Irisch Moos deodorant out of the first and Penhaligon's English Fern out of the second...


The second box came courtesy of our very own Gairdner. The (full) black bottle is Taylor of Old Bond St. Mr. Sidney a/s and there are also two James Bromley a/s samples and a Blue Stratos sample. I sent him some blades or something trivial like that a while back and he kits me out with all that and the aforementioned Penhaligon's soap - all of the above barely touched.

I think, of all the lovely things I'm jealous of in this thread so far, I'm lusting over Sir_eider's naked lady Valobra soap!

Arrived today:



A box of 100 NOS Scottish made Perma-sharps plus a number of extras that include some of my "really want to try" list, all courtesy of the very generous Hairsuite - a great guy to deal with.

Big thank you.

[NotTheStig]

Those Permasharps - both kinds - are excellent. And the Iridiums really are Super

[Hairsuite]

Most welcome...

A few bits n bobs this week

• Four Single Edge razors including a US Gem and a British Ever Ready
• A couple of Gem blades from a buddy
• Bottle of Florida Water
• Bottle of Kananga Water
• Sex Pistols EdP
  

The waters came from a friend to whom I have introduced the world of DE shaving and livs in Birmingham. His job takes him out and about and has taken to visiting all the ethnic shops he passes to see what they have in stock.

Happy Days!!

So I've heard. Looking forward to giving them a try. I'd have to confess to a bit of old nationalism being behind my purchasing of Scottish blades (although that word has a whole different meaning just now!). Sounds like a good bonus, them being so good!

Finally got around to ordering 4 different sized finest brush knots to get some butterscotch handles i have lying around done as i have found myself using the finest a lot more than the silver/super brushes i have...

[Lose the beard]

So I have just bought a brush on the bay of evil.
The description said new and unused Kent Brush, and there was a very bad picture as well, which I have attached.

I have no idea what size it is or what type of knot it is, I have a suspicion it could be a Silvertip but I'll wait for it to arrive to find out.

It was only £30.00, so I think it was a bargain, even though I don't know much about it yet.

Once it arrives I will let you know if the gamble paid off.

Difficult to know which model it is from the picture, but even if it's only a BK2 (which I use most days) you'll have an excellent brush.

+1
My eyes, My eyes, that's a bad photo, even if that is just a bk2 that's still a good brush
