Acquisitions - August 2016

[Boojum1]

Received this very nice New Forest Tubby 2 w/ 26mm two-band knot - in the mail yesterday:

...and this is what happens when you don't check your shelf before you buy:

You end up with a back-up brush

Luckily, I really like this shape of brush handles:

Sharp looking brush!

Arrived yesterday was my very excited awaited Parma Violet and Cashmere body soap. Both by Wickham's 1912. @Fox is an amazing gent. Will be talking the body soap for a spin in my shower today, loving the scent, its smooth with hints of musk with crisp under tones. Definate masculine smell slight oakmoss ambery, some faint natural lemon. Very clean scent. Whoop #excited. Will write up a full review in the next day and once my face is ready i'll take the Parma Violet for its maiden voyage on my boat race (cockney rhyming slang for face) lol. Once again thank you for your advice and the making of such high quality products @Fox

I didn't but I know they were sold in the UK because my Dad bought one and they must have been exported worldwide.

£47 is an amazing price for a Fatboy these days. I'm trying to get hold of one, can't imagine how I missed that one.

Chris

Was not listed as a fatboy think that is the key with eBay, not much correctly described goes under the radar these days.

This ok ish shaving set contained a far from average Rocket LD that just needed a bit of Peek to make it shine!

 

[LeeBot]

Very nice Uncle Bertie - Not often you find a beauty like that in those shaving kits.

Definitely willing to sell or trade. I'm generally a lot happier with a Slim. I'll pm you some photos if you want?

Ok, if you wouldn't mind, please. Any thoughts on price? Just wouldn't want you to feel disappointed if I find I can't afford it.

Regards,
Chris

My first Kamisori arrived today. It appears to be an NOS Inoue Tōsuke with the original cardboard sleeve over the case. The blade is in beautiful shape. I can't wait to try this one out.

A few samples from Shavedash. Very impressed wit the service, packaging and the amount of sample that you get!
The tough decision is now what do I use first!?! The Mrs likes the scent of Saponificio Varesino Cosmo, so this may get the first run out...

 

[Uncle Bertie]

This lot are either unused or barely opened. Four quid for the lot from my local flea market.
