Kepkinh (those are actually the Greek letters, so it’s pronounced Kerkini) is a Greek (surprise surprise) artisan. I bought their Eve shaving soap from personal barber a while ago, and it really was exceptional! So much so that I ordered another 4 of his scents/soaps that are waiting for me in Greece next time I’m able to travel out there!

Not tried the creams though so would be interested in how it performs!

Excellent, this was the description that came with it, I had a quick lather test (mainly because I didn't realise how liquid it was and a small amount spilled on my hands) and it was very very good and the smell was very nice. I'll no doubt report on it in a couple of days time on SOTD.

No excuses now other than my own skill (which at this point is a perfectly valid excuse lol)

Consolation BST purchase from @Geechy after I missed out on the Goodfellas Smile bundle
The Furiah's a pleasant surprise. Leather/tobacco sweet, but with a strangely fruity scent from a distance. Long lasting too. Oh, and look - the matching soap's on Amazon going cheap....

My first Yaqi badger brush, the Yaqi Cavern Lake Two Band Badger. It genuinely looks lovely the blue and caramel like polished wood effect acrylic look great, the brush seems very firm and rough but I guess this is the norm for badger brushes, (I’ve only had used rather brand new ones before)
The real surprise was their own brand sandalwood shaving soap, it’s one of the strongest none lathered scents I’ve got! Will have to wait to see how it lathers but pleasantly surprised and for £2.18 plus tax you can’t really complain!

Some new blades from India order these a couple of weeks ago and arrived the other night looking forward to trying them

Furiah - that's been on my wish list for a while. Does long- lasting mean more than an hour?

small haul from trip to TK maxx today. 4711 was £10 so seems like a good price. Proraso was quite a bit discounted - the eucalyptus asl is lovely so had to grab it at this price (girlfriend allowed me lol! )

Acqua Di Parma Colonia Gift Set 100ml EDC + 75ml Shower Gel + Toiletry Bag

As classic as it is well-loved, the Colonia scent captures the aroma of Sicilian citrus fruits. Paying homage to Italy, the fragrance merges the likes of sweet orange with sunny bergamot, before introducing citrusy-floral heart of lavender and damask rose. Finally, the base blends woody notes of...

Enjoy! I think it's a smashing razor, giving us back the feel of the original Merkur 37C before it was revised into the gimp it is today.

And you naughty chaps have just enabled me. It can bully the gimp when it arrives (actually, I like the Merkur )
