[Rip my flesh]

Oh, no! Postie just brought these - don’t remember pressing any buttons!
Ah well, best just put them in the cupboard…
…(quickly!)



Speick shaving soap stick (for travelling. Er, sorry, what travelling?) and an Anbbas 24mm tuxedo (the handle is called ‘Amber’ and my pic doesn’t do it justice - beautiful!)

I am relatively impressed with these three. One Tom Ford and two ADP clones...

The Postman delivered my Blackland Lite plate for my Vector. This completes the Vector base plate set and can't wait to see just what it beings to the table.

Had absolutely no idea there was a Lite version of the Vector, thought it was just a Blackbird thing!!! Awesome!!

A few AS's. I have a few Denim's already, but it was advertised as being reformulated.

I got home from work to find this surprise for me.
It is to go with the shaving soap that she brought for my birthday, but the aftershave was out of stock at the time
Gotta love her for not forgetting and for keeping checking the website until it was back in.
Guess I will have to keep hold of her for another year at least

A summer scent seemed to be the order of the day. Floris Limes. Wonderful

Because you can see the rain and grey skies for much longer in the day during the summer

Rather excited to receive a refill of TOBS Sandalwood ...



... rather disappointed they sent me old stock rather than the latest formulation. Bah!

... and some goodies from Uncle @donnie_arko which put a huge smile on my face! Cheers, pal!

Batch 11083

TOBS have been back in touch and have confirmed that this batch is what they are still selling through their website and online shop. It is the older formulation and not the new-style formulation that they told me about some months ago. They do say that a new batch will be coming through in the next few weeks but have not confirmed which ingredient list it will be.

TOBS (pre-2024) < this is what they are currently selling
Potassium Palmate, Sodium Palmate, Potassium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Glycerin, Aqua (Water), Parfum (Fragrance), Palm Kernel Fatty Acid, Sodium Chloride, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Linalool, Coumarin, Geraniol, Limolene, Cinnamal, Citronellol, Benzyl Benzoate, Butylphenol Methylpropional, Citral, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide)

TOBS Sandalwood (2024 Reformulation) < this is the one they told me about but are not yet selling
Potassium Stearate, Sodium Stearate, Aqua (Water), Potassium Laurate, Sodium Laurate, Glycerin, Parfum (Fragrance), Palm Kernel Acid, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Potassium Palm Kernelate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate, Linalool, Coumarin, Geraniol, Eugenol, Limonene, Cinnamal, Citronellol, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide)

I should say that I am very happy with the purchase as the older formulation is a damn good one! Just that I already have a number of soaps with that formulation already and was really hoping for the very latest. Ho-hum!
