Acquisitions w/c Mon Nov. 22nd - Sun 28th incl.

A nice Simpsons Commodore X2 in best. I've been using the same brush in the X1 size but found it a little small for me. The X2 apears to tick the right boxes size wise and is opening nicely after a few lathers with palmolive. Night shift tonight so will give it a trial this evening :hungrig
 
Got 50 sputniks from britva. 10% discount from another forum (DFS not B&B as I'm surprisingly banned from there )
great value and fast delivery from Latvia .
 
I got some Sputniks from there, their Voskhod, Rapira Swedish Supersteel and Rapira Platinum Lux.

Only used the Voskhod so far but great blade!
 
Frenchblade's Fat Handled Tech arrived this morning along with a rather great bunch of unexpected goodies he popped in the package.

My first antique razor.

Diamond geezer that French is.
 
I have today recieved Prof Blighty's Grapewood boxset. All i can say at the moment is that is smells great! I shall hopefully be giving it a whirl tomorrow.
