You must have similar taste to me will keep that in mind when looking for opinions of scents it’s good to know

Aah Rhodia notepads I used to steal these from my solicitors office when he wasn't looking. It offset his fees!

Ha Ha , he probably charged you for them anyway.

I think solicitors charge you for breathing the air in their offices!

A rather lovely Patum Peperium dish packed to the gunnels with HWF. Many thanks to @Jester for this. And before any wisecracks I’m far too young to have sailed on her........

Got a bundle of blades polsilvers from Poland and the voshkods all the way from russia

 

[Pontormo]

Egyptian Ingrams (fantastic)
Bond shaving cream from Poland (not tried yet)
Old Spice shaving cream from India

Derby cologne and Consul aftershave. Both Polish and both superb.

After spanking tons of cash over the years on expensive artisan shaving soaps, I've been amazed by how much better my face feels using these humble, inexpensive creams. The Kapo cream I purchased in January, for instance, gave me one of the best shaves I've ever had. Thinking of trying Denim and Godrej next. Oh, and if anyone wants to sell their unwanted Barbon or Wars shaving creams let me know.

Thanks Paul. I’m just getting started where stationary and pens are concerned.

I went for a random play on the 'bay last night after reading your Supermax post @pjgh.
This morning I received confirmation I had somehow ordered Centwin Platinum, Lancet Super Platinum, Zorrik Super Platinum and Zorrik Titanium blades

Good, good! I'm told the Lancets are a good shave. I have the trio (Stainless, Platinum & Advanced) in the queue for this month. I've also the Zorrik Titanium to try and the Centwin. The Zorrik Super Platinum is a nice shave and that got me, well, hooked on trying out all their new blades - SuperMax have taken a step up recently.

Uncle Donnie is proud.

I've used 3 out of the 4 of those. The Zorrik Titanium and Centwin were solid performers, but the Lancet Super Platinum is one of my favourites, I'd say it's quite close to the Gillette 7 Black; paired with and Old Type it's a gloriously smooth and comfortable combination. I bought the Lancet Stainless and Advance Platinum, used the Stainless which is a touch less sharp than the Lancet Super Platinum but very smooth and paired really well with a Fat Handle Tech.

@donnie_arko I've still got the Passaround Fatboy here, and a couple of other Gillettes (tech and slim twist) so hopefully I'll be happy. Out of interest, what the hell is "New Sputtered Blade Technology"
