April Acquisitions

[Wayne]

Yep I agree with Wayne (cheap as chips), but can't be bothered with faffing around with knots and handles so have the Silksmoke and Synbad on the way from AP shave. I may be in the minority but I found the Yaqi Tuxedo and Timber wolf knots to be too soft and fragile for my liking. Hoping the other two will provide more backbone and less splay. Toying on going for the Epsilon as well.

Sorry Nishy but they wont. They are both soft knots with little backbone. As painting brushes they are incredible, that’s lather not gloss

Having seen the wallets on the group buy I ended up chatting to Dale and decided on this great little razor case. Black and purple, just up my street. It looks much better in the flesh.

I very like it.

I have no idea.
Never tried it, even though I stock a couple of them.
In the next shave I'll have a first idea on how it performs.

Feedback a bit in the SOTD when you try it Konstantine. I'm curious.

I've been eyeing a Moe for quite a while. I recently sold a Krakatoa and decided I would like to add another to the den. This 28mm was offered in the last drop with the new NL5 knot. For me these are fantastic knots so I pulled the trigger. Here it is fresh from the tube.

A quick hand lather confirmed the great feel of the knot. The Moe handle is very ergonomic and reassuring to hold.

It's challenging to photograph the beauty of this resin. Here's the bottom edited to show the contrasting "chunks".

2 soaps from a local artisan. One of which is normal strength menthol, the other, 3 x the strength.

I used the normal strength this morning and that was perfectly acceptable. Let's see what the 3x brings to the table.

Thank you very much.
They are rare to appear.
This was through a topic I created to inform you that I bought Semogue LE brushes.
