Received my first DE shaving kit from Connaught today.
Fast delivery to Ireland of 2 days, and well packaged.
Happy and can't wait to start using it:

Merkur 34C
TOBS Sandalwood (what a scent)
60 Blade Pack
Semogue 620
Alum Block

Enjoy!

A bottle of TOBS Sandalwood cologne, along with a tube of the aftershave gel. First run out will be tomorrow.

After almost a year of abstinence I fell off the RAD and BAD wagon

This 'forced' me to make an offer, and they accepted it.....

Having been looking for a half decent synthetic brush, to try the type, I spotted this, and when it arrived I found out the seller was only flipping stuff off of Amazon where I could have saved a few quid

I'm hoping to avoid BAD2 (Blade AD) and SAD as I've got enough of both to last me a month or 60

Received two things in the mail earlier this week:

1) A Hempel Titanium handle for the King Cobra
This was really interesting to me as it's the first titanium handle I've used.
Excellently crafted

Here it is next to the stock KC handle:

And, of course, with the KC head mounted on it. I really like it

2) An eShave badger brush in clear handle
I like this handle shape the knot has a surprising amount of backbone taking how it is set into consideration

It's a tad larger than my 10 year old eShave brush

Which one - razor or brush handle? ;-)

Razor but the clear brush is equally as nice

That truly does look awesome, very complimentary to the head design.

Not shaving related - but received my 4G BanditApple notebooks in the mail.
Great colours and sizes. One of them will go into my bag for tomorrow

Loving the "Never-Shed"(?) in the middle!
