Slight improvement ... today I acquired a "Sorry, you were out" card from the postie ... so I have something this week. So much for my thinking it would be a big week for deliveries ... well, it should have been ... maybe there's a few things covered by the one card. If I'm really lucky.
ordered:
Proraso Sensitive Pre/post
Proraso Aftershave balm
10 x 7 Oclock yellows (free)
finally ran out of the proraso pre/post, so needed to order some more.
Couldnt decide between the proraso or musgo aftershave balm, so went for proraso ( happened to be cheaper also!). Has anyone here tried them both..?

Unlike Wardonia razors, while this had a proprietary blade made for it, it will also take a standard DE blade with no fuss or modification needed. That and the text alone on the box/blade wrapper is worth the price (£3.48 P&P included - I was the only bidder! Yay!!)
Box:
- Front/top black & white line drawing of two boxers, on flat on his back in the ring tot he right hand side, text to left (separated by line drawing of the razor):

- Next side:White text on black background with white border:

- Next side: crosshatched line drawing of 3-hole blade to left side. Black text on white background to the right:

- Forth long side:

- Each end has same blade text on white background:

Blade Wrapper:
- Text on 'front' of blade wrapper - repeat of line drawing of knocked out boxer in ring with other boxer standing over him

- On top flap of blade wrapper: line drawing of blade with text on it:

I have one, but it's old and the batteries die very quickly.
- & I'm not sure the resolution would make the text legible enough anyway.
- ...& I ain't sure there's 1000 words on the packaging to paint - could give them 5 coats probably with that much paint.[/list:u][/list:u]

Rudy Vey beehive with a 2 band Shavemac knot, 25mm by 49mm.
Great stuff! What a pleasure it is to see brushes like this. There's nothing quite like deciding exactly what what you want, then getting someone to make it, just for you. I already have brushes from our three resident brush makers and I'm now waiting for a Rudy/Bernd collaboration to arrive.
