Acquisitions - October 2016

Some Soaps:

My daughter has already claimed the Vetiver and the Mrs has claimed the Eucalyptus - the 2 I most wanted!
Never mind I'll have to order more

Like the sound of vetiver, where did you get it from?

It is lovely - in fact they all are scent wise anyway. The Mrs has given the soap the thumbs up for skin feel too..

Received a custom group-buy Shavemac with a "unique" 2-band silvertip modeled after the Epsilon knots.
Anyway, here's this beauty. My crappy phone camera does no justice. Knot has super soft tips, splays easily and has perfect backbone.
I can't wait to use it in the morning along with one of these new Eufros sets from Manuel.

Well thank you @RSSO the razors arrived super quick.
A Gem MM OC and a Treet. Wanted to try both for a good while now, so I'm itching to try them out.

Also thank you to @LeeBot as arriving super quickly also a tub of Faena Sandalwood. Which I'll use with one of the razors.

Phat brush that!

Faena Sandalwood, the free and pay for postage. For the purpose of the reported poor feedback I'll be honest here.

Not the strongest scent but certainly pleasant enough. I must say, I probably can see why some could have a negative on opening it up. Seems a little overpackaged for what's in the tub. I also like my puck to fit to the edges, this looks like a game of chase the puck around the bowl.

Oh and please don't get me wrong, I appreciate it was indeed free.

 

[LeeBot]

Entirely valid comments there NS - the puck will start clinging to the tub once it's been wet and dried however.

Scent certainly smells nice enough, it passed the SWMBO test !

Received the new Rocnel DE-P razor from Yourshaving in the mail.
Much like the RX Asylum there are things right out of the gate that I really like...and that I like less.

I just squished mine down as it was so soft, mine also wasn't an intense scent but it produces an amazing lather. Many thanks @LeeBot

Nice haul @wazza I'm awaiting my soap arrival and I do like the packaging. Very classy!

I went for the squish down in the end.

Absolutely superb lather ! Rich, creamy and slick. I still have a little of the older Vanilla Faena, when it use to come in metal tins with the transparent lids. The lather on that was very good too, the scent was a little stronger though. The old Vanilla has an odd scent, something between Vanilla and window putty, certainly a nice smelling soap. On to the scent of this Faena, its again a nice smelling soap, but it is somewhat lacking that distinct Sandalwood scent.

Would I be upset with it ? Well no based on that lather alone.
