Highlander limited edition razor.
Coco vanilla soap sample.
Shield New AC1, (I now have both he makes!)
A&E Asian Plum.
AC blades variety pack.

A very generous Emporium bought me the Soap and blades as and extra surprise and my group buy Highlander brush also landed too! Many thanks @Boycie83 and @gile!

What’s the new version of the AC1? I’ve been very impressed with my Shield DE Defender.

He’s just released a new version of his AC razors and a new DE too. I’m tempted to get the DE too.

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements The Original Phoenix DOC Safety Razor

Had a look at the RazoRock and Yaqi versions of the Grand Shave King Self Lubricating Razor but went with the PAA model, glad I did as it's a cracker of a razor teamed with a Wilkinson Sword German blade.

It wasn’t from Brad.
It was an unused brush from 2018

It looks really nice.

Yaqi Romulus. Quite excited as the few reviews I’ve seen so far indicate it will be an improvement on the original and it looks and feels amazing. This and the new Shield could make my top 3 AC’s list completely change!
One to note for those ordering mine came preloaded with a blade which nearly ended my excitement when opening in a very painful way!

I also have both. I find the Shield even better
