January 2021 Acquisitions

[Olie29]

My first straight razor delivered today from @Blademonkey along with some generously included extras, will be posting about how it goes in the morning but for tonight I have plenty reading to keep me going

I wasn't expecting this.

David @Pontormo so generously sent the above (Lider splash and cream sample), TFS Vecchia Torino, a C&S travel puck and a full bottle of a Lagerfeld aftershave, thank you greatly.

This is really is a great corner of the internet, I'm often amazed at the generosity by the members.

You'll enjoy those, Chris. I'm sure! Sheer perfection, for me, in the Rocca.

I bought them pretty much on the strength of your posts I'm looking forward to trying them

So far a bunch of sample pack of razors - ones that I've read up good things about I bought several of! Currently few other bits are on their way (two brushes, one synthetic and another boar) and a bowl

Nice - Lamy I think? Which nib? - have you tried dot-grid paper? I was sceptical but my sister sent me a notebook using it - and it does work. I still prefer lined though. - I.

The Prime pack that is above the Derby extra's are my all time favourite blade.
I am sure you will have a great shave with them and enjoy testing them all out.

A tower of blades generously sent to me by @donnie_arko, including Treets, Personna reds, Perma-Sharps, Gillette Winners and many many more. Thanks Shubs, really appreciated!

From Amazon: Denim Musk and a damaged bottle of Brut (Amazon refunded me) to use with Extro's wonderful The End. Besides Wickham's Citrus Musk, The End is one of the best scented artisan soaps I've smelt in a long while.

From Gemstone Trading: Kapo shaving cream for just £1.72. Excellent service and a fantastic cream.

From Dave at Shaving Time: PAA's John Frum and matching splash. Usual excellent service from Dave.

Hi I

It is Lamy Safari so the plastic one, I wasn't what to chose nib wise so went with Medium , It writes beautifully. I was going to look for some nice quality notebooks as the ones I have are cheap tat I prefer lines too
