A bottle of Barbon splash.

The bottle is incredibly wonky and it doesn't look like it has been filled to the top. It's supposed to be 100ml but it doesn't look like it.

Should I contact the Ebay seller?

Is there any evidence to suggest it might have leaked out in the post? Looking at other bottles on eBay, they don't look full to the top with levels under the top of the label.

It's a nice splash, either way.

No, you've not been ripped off on the volume...I got one of these 2 days ago...exactly the same level and I was concerned so I poured it into a measuring jug and it was exactly 100ml.
Of course, that doesn't mean someone hasn't knocked back a bottle of Alcolado Glacial and simply pissed in the first wonky plastic bottle available and then sold it on eBay
 
Cheers for the replies chaps, it seems I was just being a little paranoid and that's the normal level! As the bottle didn't really stand straight I stuck a wodge of paper with a bit of sellotape and voila - it's fine!

I like the scent of it, a slightly medicinal one but it seems like a nice old fashioned splash - generally my favourite kind eg like Superdrug Forest Fresh.
 

As soon as pay day comes back around I shall be putting an order in for GEM Personna Stainless at Connaught Shaving. These seem to be what most are recommending.
Every day's a school day.
 
Just posted earlier today that I was waiting for:
  • A bottle of Extro Cosmesi Lavanda e Muschio AS
  • A bottle of TGS Abysso AS
...and then they arrived:



I'll have to try summoning my mail deliveries like this more often

(N.B. I've just tried out the Abysso following a quick afternoon shave and I can see why people reckon it's very reminiscent of Davidoff Cool Water. Very pleasant
 
Well they arrived safely.



Apparently the white plastic will not be made again.

Ok its a Yaqi Adjustable, not the best quality, for me a bit of fun and an addition to the collection, its a cheap razor. Not sure when or if it will get a run out.

Now then, the Space chrome Yaqi SE.
Quality wise its worlds apart, feels nice in the hand and has a bit weight to it. It seems very well made, I like it a lot.
See my SOTD.

I was looking forward to seeing what you thought of the yaqi adjustable. Is it me or does the blade gap look bigger at 1 compared to 6. Could be I'm not looking at the captions to the correct picture.
