Gosh, Droyt are gonna wonder what's gone on! I hope you like them, I had never heard of them until Ebberman sent me some to try.

Took a while to get delivered but dodged the customs so worth it. Can’t wait to try.

I couldn't remember how my old blades worked in a Wilkinson Sticky, so I picked one up, to add a vintage touch to my rotation.

4x Kent shave soap - occasionally there is a bargain on ebay.

Another one that's been long in the making, Dogwood Declaration B16, very simple but I like it.

I forget when I joined the dogwood list but it was eventually sorted and the turnaround at declaration was actually very quick.

A few samples from Shave Dash. Sad to see them go, they are closed for business now.



Palmolive Menthol from eBay. I'm not entirely sure for why, but it seems to perform a little better than the standard version.

Good lad! I picked another one up a couple of years ago, having let my first one go maybe a decade ago. Yeah, it's mild. No, actually, it's very precisely engineered. There's a difference.

Enjoy!

As I was in Bradford West Yorkshire today I decided to call into the Mitchells Wool Fat factory and buy myself a new ceramic pot and soap. I haven't used the " Fat" for years so it will be a nice treat to have it once more in the Bathroom. I'm currently soaking it in water to swell the puck to the size of the dish. It should be ready tomorrow.

I wish I had some of the old ones that were made in Scotland but these will do just fine, a very good blade.

Would you like a pack? I’ll see if I can root some out. Might have some left, might not. At the very least, there’ll be a few English Wilkies. I got a pack of 200 on eBay donkey’s ago. Let me know and I’ll summon the RM for uplift.
