First time shopping at Badger Shaving Co from Vancouver, Canada. Great customer service, and for us 'lamentors' of postage from the US, this is a lot better: 17.56 CAD, or just over 10 GBP. For a box 22*16*12cm and ca 600g.

Then there's the content, of course.

That looks nice stuff.

Single 12" x 12" marble tile, currently on sale at Topps for 2.79 (I've got a granite tile, but it's not nearly flat enough):

Received two vintage brushes - both in great condition.

1) Vintage Plisson in "horn" handle
I put horn in quotation marks as I'm not quite sure it's genuine horn. It feels pretty heavy but the surface and 'sound' of it makes me think it's plastic/resin. Regardless I really like it and it's my first vintage Plisson so it felt worth the $29 I spent on it

2) Vintage NOS "Made in England" brush
No idea who the maker is but the handle feels great - both in shape and weight.
I used it for this morning's shave and the knot performed very well indeed.

Also...received this amazing metal Chubby model "B-Chub" handmade by Mr @twhite
Perfect balance, great weight and extremely comfortable. Fitted with a TGN 28mm hybrid knot this will be one fun brush to use!
Thanks again Tom, you mad genius!

 

[Rowlers]

Nice @Darkbulb, bit of a legend our Tom isn't he!

Woo, last of the big spenders again. The SV was £2.99 from TKMaxx. Smells great and I will probably cut it into 3.


Also bought 2 x Continentals (215/60/R17) - Asda Tyres FYI.

Delivery from @Fox . Tried the soap for the second time today and nailed the soap to water ratio. Great lather! Oh and the bath soap is lovely. Strangely, while I often find bath soaps of the bar kind drying, this one not in the least.
