That thing is stunning and I was just in the process of looking for a new knife....A UK legal EDC must be the best value for money knife I've ever owned the fit finish are quality will put knives twice what this cost to shame, a Enzo full flat grind CPM S30V blade carbon fibre scales absolutely love this little beauty.
Isn't it.. I can't find online though? Probably a good thing for my wallet though...

Extreme sharpness is ephemeral!
Richard I would strongly advise you to get one of these absolutely the best UK legal slip joint knife your money can buy, puts my UKPK Spyderco carbon fibre knife to shame.

It must be good if it's better than a UKPK. I've not used a carbon one myself but have an orange frn model. The Enzo looks great.

Didn't snap any pictures but I picked up some soaps I don't need.
Fine Lavender. It really is very close to C&S O&C. Very nice. Got the aftershave as well. Beats the pants off of C&S price wise. I will be buying more if they have a decent staying power and good performance.
Also some Barrister and Mann.
Lavanille. My first time trying this one. Smells interesting. It's the color of dark chocolate though.
Beaudelaire. Smells very intriguing. Might have to use this one tomorrow morning.
Also a sample of Cologne Russe. Had to order a tub from another vendor after smelling this one. First impressions = I liked this better than the other soaps that showed up in the mail today.
I've only ever used two other B&M soaps before. The scents are just so different from anything else I have ever tried. I am going to be watching for upcoming releases.
I am going to be in soap for years to come. Winter is coming.

My latest haul:
Sandalwood bath soap. Thanks to @Uncle Bertie for the heads up on this
. It really is an excellent soap and much preferred over any shower gel. The scent lingers for ages post shower. Luv it!
Dapper Dan Barbershop Classic Shave Cream. I know nothing about this cream but took a punt because I liked the packaging and it's lightly fragranced with classic sandalwood . Any excuse eh?

Out of interest, what did you use to clean up bakelite. I'm always weary of damaging it.

Just washing up liquid and warm water with an old toothbrush, it wasn't very dirty at all.
