Acquisitions - October 2021

Yeah I was also ogling the knife that was distracting me from the shave gear!

OK, I may have to retake my acquisition of the day pic with my Spyderco UKPK unsubtly in the foreground! In fairness I did use it to take the cellophane off the X-Bolt hahaha!

Popped to the shops to get a few groceries and somehow a few bargains fell into my bag.

Ooh how did that shiv get in there?!

Tabac EdC, not the AS, £9 in TK Maxx, Nivea half price in Boots (Nick I think you were to blame for that hot tip off?) then I had to go to Lidl anyway (pretext, groceries) and there was one X-Bolt hiding behind the balms plus my favourite non-stingy moisturiser for pocket change so that followed me home too. AdP it ain't, granted, but I've no need of smelling *that* good these days!

I'm going to try popping into tk max again thing that pisses me off about tk max is that the stores are always a mess with everything everywhere and every store has different stock, like really inconsistent lol

Side tip btw If you're after designer sunglasses check out tk max, bargains to be had
 
True dat. T-Chaos Maxx innit?! Not my kind of thing overall, but good for cheap shave software and polo shirts! As you say, good for sunnies sometimes too. I got a nice pair of Serengeti sunnies for a lot less than they purportedly sell for normally. Caveat emptor though. TK do inflate the "was" price sometimes. I've seen lower end Kai plastic handle stamped blade kitchen knives marked up as "was" (insert price of top end Kai Shun), "bargain" at (TK price slightly more than its really worth). You can't trust the little rascals 100% although some good deals for sure, if you strike lucky.

Also check out shoes there too

Theyve got a big tk max here in brum city centre haven't been for a very long time though tbh
 
Been meaning to try out mo bros products for years, don't know if any of you remember mo bros coming on dragons deal and making a deal? Lol

This the dragons den episode I'm on about if you're curious

Got it the other day finally used the beard oil and beard butter, nice smell I like it, the sandalwood best way to describe it would be like the smell of asian spices lol

so after such a long time finally popped into homesense store which I've never been too but right next to tk max, got chatting to staff and it's a sister company of tk max but with more home based stuff like furniture etc,

tbh I thought they may be similar as the labels and prices seemed to be the same

anyways got some of this from homesense and some from tk max

If you go tk max don't bother going towards to men's section as it's no where near there, just go straight to the women's beauty section and you'll see it there but have a good look around and take your time you have to keep an eye out on it lool

so yea pop into homesense if you don't have a local tk max or vice versa

they've got all the different versions of the old spice aftershave lotion in both homesense and tk max

this one is a really good price as it's only £4 and it's the 150ml about £8 odd quid the cheapest on ebay UK,

first time I've got old spice, I'm such a noob lool

That cremo (blue lid) smells lovely in a weird way, kinda like marshmallow or ice cream, but so far I haven't really found the performance to my liking. Maybe I've over hydrated it as it is quite soft.

I've been meaning to try it out since I saw someone on one of the wet shaving forums posted it, didn't know there was two different ones out there, I have looked on ebay before but really overpriced imho
 
Which one was she? I only remember Sporty, Baby and Ginger Spice.

In fact that reminds me of a geezer I used to work with years ago who self deprecatingly used to refer to himself as Old Spice (his name was Spicer) when the Spice Girls were at the height of their fame. Wonder what he's up to now?
