It's my birthday today. Really chuffed to get these Stirling products, especially as the end is in sight for my Margaritas In The Arctic soap. I got a little cash so going to get the matching witch hazel and aloe.

Gratuitous inclusion of the whisky and gin I also received.

Happy Birthday David

First Tallow and Steel set, looking forward to trying it

 

[Wintermute]

Couple of purchases this month. Razorock Hawk V3 (I already had the bamboo handle) and a Shavemac synthetic. The Shavemac handle is stunning but my dodgy camera work probably does it a disservice.

I Coloniali shaving cream

 

[Dcshaves]

Not shaving related but a few locally made soaps purchased today. Good to support small local businesses in these tough times. They smell fantastic too.

Where did you get that?

This acquisition was an acquisition I didn't know I'd acquired until it came through the door and acquired it.

I really must thank @RussellR5555 for this absolute surprise which is most gratefully received. A Maestro 6/8 shave ready straight.



After trying the road in to straights a number of times I have always thrown in my hand. This was until recently where I have been experiencing a bit of success with a Kamisori style shavette and still seem to be winning. I still have a face which is a big plus. Only tonight I managed to have a 50/50 with the shavette and my usual SE.

Now I have another toy and can only hope the success story continues.

Thank you again Russ.

On eBay.

You know you don't really want it...

You know you don't really want it...

Sure I do. I've been looking for it for quite a while.

The final additions to the den have finally arrived from across the pond:

• ATT S1 aluminium full razor
• ATT R1 aluminium plate
• AP Shave Co. 24mm SynBad
• AP Shave Co. 24mm 2BED set in Yaqi aqua handle

@RussellR5555 You'll be proud of me Russ. I managed to get hold of a Dremel and got the knot fitted myself. More amazingly, it's since survived two test lathers! Feels like a great knot (along with the SynBad).

Awesome well done Chris , Looks great.

It's taken a while but my ten boxes of Schick Proline P.30 blades have arrived from Japan.
With the other ten boxes I already have I should have a lifetimes supply and never need to worry about the blades being discontinued or going up in price and buying in bulk also makes the unit price very reasonable. One happy Blademonkey!

Much thanks to @Dcshaves for sending me his tub of Erasmic, complete with lanolin goodness! Very kind of you!
