October 2020 Acquisitions

Woke up last Sunday in a panic - I realised I was short on shaving gear. The situation required a remedy and up stepped Italian Barber. Delivered today from Canada - under 1 week! Mamba 70 razor, stainless Halo handle, XXX balm and some of their triple milled soaps to try

Yeah I know that feeling Chris, I get it about blades. Nice haul though, I hope you enjoy the WTP soaps, I think the Lime one is the same soap as the Saponificio Bignoli Solido Bergamotto soap.

I think you're right Shubs and had the same suspicion. It's why I didn't buy the orange version. I've just done a side by side to compare:

Oh boy. My rose essential oils and hydrosol arrived. I'm going to divide the hydrosol into smaller bottles and add a drop of a different oil to each hydrosol bottle. Then I can try adding a couple drops of a mixture to my shaving lathers - sandalwood, fougeres, tobaccos, colonias, etc. to jazz them up a bit. This is going to be fun.

These were waiting for me when I got home after work.

I've been wanting to try a vintage Mulcuto slant for some time now and I'm stoked that I was able to purchase two of them at the same time. I can't wait to give them a try tomorrow.

The Alpha brush Steve sent is called Albert. It looks great and I love the idea of a brush being named after a person. I'm aware that Simpson's did this in the past and it caused a lot of problems as a result. Hopefully things will go much more smoothly for Alpha's new brush.
 
I decided to up my skincare game. Active ingredients include: AHA's/BHA, Azelaic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide, Amino Acids, Retinols/Retinoids, Bakuchiol, Vitamin C, Panthenol, Q10, Peptides, Turmeric and Cerimides.
