H&S P076-SB Copper

Big chunk of VITOS SuperCrema (Green) and a bottle of Floid Moderna y Masculina (Black), because nothing says "modern" and "masculine" like pineapples!

I love the smell of pineapple in the morning! Smells like ... men?

Glad I binned off that sabbatical idea. Two Black Ship Grooming soaps and a Lupo DLC (thank you @slapo ):

Less than 24 hours from time of order...
Kudos to Connought.

The brush doesn't even stink like a pigs buttocks! Result!

Good evening Gents,
What your opinion on Floris shaving products ?
Have tried only the Elite edt so far
Waiting to arrive there blackbird from USA and try the rest.

I rate them. Elite, No.89 and No.127 are in use regularly.

The first of the last few 2020 purchases have arrived.

L to R:

AP Shave Co 30mm Cashmere, 26mm Cashmere and 30mm Synbad.

I wasn't sure how good the white handles would be and they have turned out to be pretty nice.

The handle with the 30mm Cashmere knot is slightly more pearlescent than the resin used on the Synbad knotted handle.

Both handles were a bit rough around the edges, however a microfibre cloth, a bit of Maas polish and some elbow grease sorted this relatively easily.

The base of the handles is still a bit sharp, however this can easily be sorted with some wet and dry paper (I've needed to do the same thing with a Semogue synthetic in the past, so I know it's not a difficult task).

The Amber handcrafted handle is perfect in every respect and definitely seems to be worth the premium.

30mm? 30mm! Chuff me! I remember when 23mm felt big! The amber looks lovely @ajc347

The Lancet Super Platinum was one of my discoveries last year, so 100 more and a few other Lancet blades to try.

How aggressive are these? I have a few in a trial pack. (For me Astras and sharks are great, feathers ok, derby avoided!! Too aggressive) just wanted some background.

Beauty are these available in the UK?

Dear or dear....seen these and thought why not (pardon the pun). Just bought a 24 mil Cashmere picture to follow...

And a 24 Yaqi Naples never heard if them but it looks nice (anyone know anything about them?).

I'd say that was it for the year but you never know.....
