Nice one Donnie! I love my Slim.

I've been meaning to pick up a Tabac bowl for ages. Likewise with the MWF bowl, but was put off by the whole uncertainty round the old formula secretly ending, the high risk of dud from it's replacement etc. Following on from @pgjh giving the thumbs up on the 2024 MWF current reformulation I jumped in and did both at the same time as soon as Connaught said they've defo got new formula MWF bowls. Excellent transparency dispelled any hesitation to click BUY. I took the opportunity to fend off Bladepocalypse for another year as Paul had some 7 o'clock Sharp Edge on special offer too. Very pleased with my order which came unbelievably quickly as always.
Exactly as Paul stated, the MWF puck is the new formula, the ceramic bowl has the new design without "Original 1893 Formula" but the cardboard outer still has that wording until they're used up. Gonna have to try it now!

The Peroni looks like one of those modern Gillette FlexBollock razors.Colonial Razors Silversmith head on WCS handle by CG

Dorko Solingen razor. 2nd one in my den and again I am surprised how poor the razor quality is compared to Dorko straight razors (which are top shelf)

I missed out on this soap when I first came to traditional shaving (circa 2013) but I did buy in some Valobra back in the good old days ... so have an inkling as to what I'm in for. Box-fresh and still plastic-wrap sealed. Lovely!
