April acquisitions

Interesting bowl, let us know how it compares with the standard version.

Just used it for the first time.

I'd say it works better than the standard version. There seems to more texture, but it's a smoother texture.

It's a bit harder to clean as the lather gets under the edges of each ball. But it's not a game changer. It was also a little more expensive at £12.50 instead of the £8.75 they charge. Basically due to the extra time involved in making the balls.
 
This beautiful vintage size 20 Plisson Plexi HMW brush just arrived.

OSP Fougere Soap

Since the OSP master soap maker, James, is having a rest from soap making I thought I'd better get another before stocks run out. I bought this one from "Agent Shave" as James no longer had stock at his closing down last shop opening.

I have been using his Bay Rum soap which is probably my favourite soap of all time and should have really bought more from OSP because the it's the best I can get, and it's British. I would have actually but haven't because I already have enough soap for many, many years but I made an exception for this one.

Just like the Bay Rum, Fougere is just spot-on. Just the right level of scent and top notch performance and superb after shave conditioning. Blows the socks off every other soap I've tried over the years.

If you're reading this James, I salute you; truly a wonderful soap. Hope you make some more some day after you've done all the things you want to do.

Totally off the cuff purchases

This was one of those first impression 'wow!' products. So different an EDC and absolutely divine. I'd never heard of Bath House either. The balm seems a very nice product and altogether made up.

Go to Tescos to buy some milk and walk out with nose and ear clippers........and milk. Will keep Mrs Satanfriendly happy as she has given me old man 'hairy nose and ears' warnings.
 
Help!
I got 6 packs of Stainless Perma-sharp supreme blades as a freebie with the 2 razors found in the old, long shut chemist that is being renovated. I cannot find any of these for sale either in my normal suppliers or on net.
Are these also old discontinued stock.
Where were they made?
They are all sealed so I think I could use them.
