Acquisitions, 1st September to 30th September 2015

I like Quorum. Pino Silvestre had to stay outside the house till I traded it. Yuck.
 
Pino is a just a bit too classy, eh?
It's a bloody good pong to my nose! The aftershave has a light mentholation to it.

Today brought me a second ASR Reverse Lather Catcher in a proper tatty case and a genuinely NOS GEM Damaskeene blade, courtesy of a pal on another forum - it's not as keen as a new GEM by Personna, but it is as keen (still ... 100 years on) as a second or third run GEM by Personna blade. I have high hopes ...
 
Received a 1920's French lather catcher.

The good:
It's absolutely gorgeous:


The bad:
The seller decided to send it in a thin envelope from France to the US and the head got a bit smushed in transit to the point where the blade can't be fitted in it....


Now, it's possible that I could bend it back into shape again but it's not a very flexible metal - this must have happened from having had quite some weight on it.

I contacted the seller and we'll see what he says... Ugh
