You're coming through loud and clear @pjgh I only have 5 months of 40's left. My aftershave shelf for non-themed shaves includes OS, most of the Pinauds, Blue Stratos, regular Brut (I do like it a lot), Irisch Moos, 4711 and Hai Karate. You are right, I do need to get some Jovan, I also keep looking at bottles of Aquatonic in the pound shop - but haven't had the bottle to buy any yet. Thoughts?

I bought Aquatonic at the same time as Hai Karate from Savers, maybe a year ago. While I used the bottle of Hai Karate, the Aquatonic was moved along as a PIF almost straight away ... for the price, do try it though. It was just ... well, light.

Well spotted Paul, I saw this for sale and thought !!! cheek

Arse.

 

[pjgh]

Arse.

If it's any consolation, the head you did buy shaves better than the Streamline ...

I'm glad you guys understood that was me saying Oh arse, rather than You arse... It's not been a good week.

What did you pay for it if you don't mind sharing? That way we can tell if it really is an "arse" moment or not

Receive today from Nishy, apologies for the cruddy photo, it really doesn't do justice to this magnificent item. Needless to say I am a very happy chap. Many thanks Nishy

If It was me, I would not say. Have overpaid for an item before and felt a Right Wally, with no need to tell the World.

 

[Uncle Bertie]

I might enter into "discussions" with the seller.

Good point buddy... Fair enough

 

[Uncle Bertie]

The plot thickens with the Streamline/1912. I'll add a photo or two later but the head feels like it's permanently fastened on. Perhaps it's a hybrid

Not shaving related but a great mail-call for me as I love Mike's shampoo bars

 

[Darkbulb]

Received these four vintage brushes for about $7/brush. The knots are..well...not the best but I love the handles

 

[Darkbulb]

My favorite haul of the week was this box containing two brand new FS brushes and a brand new Barbaros TR-1 razor.
$150 is not pocket change but, I have to say that in this case it felt like a very fair price.

I used one of the brushes and the razor this morning and had a great shave

The two brushes:

...and the very attractive Barbaros TR-1 razor:

There were, I believe, only 120 of these razors made and I feel very fortunate to have score a brand new one.
Great job @theunnamed - loved it
