Congratulations! I spotted that last night with just a few minutes left to run, and thought "Shall I ??" but in the end decided I've had enough deliveries this week!

You obviously have more willpower & more won't-power than I did at that time.

My three creams for a fiver arrived from Connaught today:

Palmolive Lemon
Godrej Lime
Nivea

I'm thinking the Godrej for tonight :D

... just don't show any of these to my G-F

BTW - I got 2 out of 3 Indian Shave creams the same as you - where you chose Nivea though, I opted for Park Avenue's Enjoy for a full-citrus triple play.

Nice one ;)

I dithered about for ages! I almost had 6 for a tenner :lol:
 
Went into the wilds of Shropshire this afternoon (we had a glass of milk with us :D !) and did a little acquiring: 4 Tallow Erasmic sticks, a nice shiny 'Made in England' razor box with a good interior (new home for a fat handle tech - once i get some blade cases) and my first straight :shock: never intended on buying one - too much faff - but hey ho! Apparently it says 'Brookes & Crookes' with what could be a bell (?) and part of the word Sheffield - another guess.

I will post a better photo tomorrow in the straights area where i can be told it's either: a. crap, b. fake or c. a crap fake :oops: ;)

oh yeah, almost forgot - total spend £9.36 :p

  • * Ikea LILLÅNGEN bathroom cabinet (as it's time to house the collection in one place)
    * Ingram cream (as I fancied a menthol cream for the chilled kick)
    * L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra-Energetic Hydrating Boost Post-Shave Balm (which has the "Ice-cool wake up effect", so should go nicely with the Ingrams, followed by Floid Blue!)[/list:u]

    The L'Oreal was on special offer in Tesco at £3.99 iirc

Anybody ever seem one of these Razors before ?, does anybody know from the blade wrappers a rough date ?

THAT, right there is a bargain.

Loved that stuff when it first came out and have been known to have spray of a tester when I'm passing Boots, Lewis' or House of Fraser.

Could be very tempted to pick one up.
 
- Omega 10005
- 3x Taylors tubes from B&H (Avocado, Mr Taylors, Lavender)

After getting (and loving) a Vulfix 404 bodger my eyes are open to boar possibilities.
Decided on the Omega. If I like it, I fancy a Semogue as well.

I've not tried any 'high end' cream yet and hadn't been tempted (because the cheap stuff is so good) until I saw the offer at B&H and couldn't resist!
