Acquisitions - December 2021

[markamonaghan]

Bought a few bits n bobs this month. The Razors are the Fakelight Series by PAA.
Don’t know why i bought them all but there you go i did it’s just me.
To be fair i love these razors and they genuinely shave well.
The blades well i’m not expecting much but if paa have any input then i think they will be decent but time tell.
iv not had a shave in 3 days due to the fact i feel totally shect but tomorrow is a new day.
The Brush is called the Star Wisp and it’s a 24mm Synthetic,
i really liked the look of this one.
Another two soaps from Pinnacle Grooming,
Black Panther & Aquarius, The scent of the two soaps i like however the first top note on the Black Panther is Cannabis which i have zero interest so i’m unsure if i’ll like it or not.
Everytime you buy a soap from Pinnacle you get 6 free samples a fantastic touch.
The star of the show however is the
Old Spice Captains Tankard Decanter full of vintage old spice.
I still can’t believe i managed to get this one so cheap.

The brush is a beauty, can you get that colour /model in the UK?

That is one fantastic haul @Mike Smart ... those razors make up a great little set! Maybe find/commission a specific stand for them, say, perspex test tube holder?

Thanks Mate
yes what a great idea,
There’s actually 6 in the set but i already have the Green. They are all a homage to the wonderful Fasan and to me they shave very well.
Do you have any examples of test tube stands ?
sounds like a great idea to me

Hi mate this Brush is from
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements ironically in phoenix in the states but i just got through their website.
you pay a bit extra on shipping but when i want something i scream and scream and scream until i’m sick so the wife gives in
This is the only Colour/combo you can get but for £20 ish it’s not a bad brush at all.
If your really after one give Shaving Station an email and ask if he’s getting them in as they are now the uk distributor

You can get them all over the place, ordered a few previously but mine were from thermofisher for actual lab work.

Just one example from aliexpress though:

Thanks Mike, I'll do some homework.... I tend to just get things along the way... and she generally accepts it (eventually). Merry xmas all.

It's a patchouli-heavy, herbal woody musk. More than that, it's a genuine skin-healing splash. My absolute favourite! Alas, seemingly gone now.

 

[markamonaghan]

Sounds lush and practical! Hopefully the mysterious world of the internet will unearth a batch. That or TK Maxx... good luck

Something like ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334244372334 ?

NB two of those holes are smaller than the rest.

"perspex test tube stand" should give you a good field to search on eBay.

Xmas present from my wife: Armani Acqua di Gio AS, accompanied with the words: "please do not use the other cheap stuff you usually buy"...
Merry festivities to All you!

 

[hotmetal]

We don't do presents, we spent the money on going to a hotel so nobody has to cook. I cracked open the Benjamin's Bay Rum and asked for her opinion. "please do not use the other cheap stuff you usually buy" was the approximate response! It's OK, I like it and will enjoy using it, I'll put something less yardie on if I know she's coming within olfactory range!

Christmas shaving haul:

 

[Scorpio93]

not per se shaving related but still in realm of scents and blades! Very nice Christmas gifts - two initio frags (musk therapy being 80% full) and also a yaxell 6 piece Japanese Damascus steel knife set! (Already wrote down which is which hah) Think I’ll need to get some stones eventually to learn and keep them sharp too!
