October 2020 Acquisitions

7 years ago a guide (his name was Richard IIRIC) in the Nottingham castle told me: 'The nicest people live in Liverpool'. Granted he was a 'pudlian himself. But since then I've visited Merseyside 5 (or maybe 6) times and I have to admit, he was absolutely right.
Yet again, I'm honored to witness the proof of that statement. Thanks, @Satanfriendly!

Looks even better than the first one Billy. I didn't like to mention it but on the original the Dorko inlay in the handle wasn't even, would have really annoyed me but it looks perfect on this one - Result! (y)

Some of you might have noticed I bought Moon 'Old School' a week or so go. I returned it to the online shop as there was next to no scent and what was there was nothing like the description.
I've received Sorrento this morning. The scent is there but very weak. I really hope the scent improves and gets stronger once lathered.
