December 2017 Acquisitions

[Optometrist]

The Paradigm seems to have had a curious boost in hype recently so I’m very much interesting in how you find it, David. I’m probably not alone in that I’d rather see it distributed differently but thanks for being an early adopter. Are you still enjoying the Level 2 Sabre?

The Sabre L2 is a fabulous razor and is currently my #1 of all that I've tried. I'm looking to have just one DE and the Sabre and, hopefully, the SS Paradigm will put an end to my razor buying.

That is the word David. "hopefully" put an end to your razor buying.
What happens when the L3, L4, L5, etc comes out?

Just saying....

Ha Ha. Definitely NO more Sabre options, for me, Wayne.

Ben, I've written a few words about the razor in the Paradigm 17-4 thread. It's all good.

Just received confirmation that my prism handle is ready. I'll be putting a 2-band Silvertip knot into it.
No purchases for 2018, so this one snuck in at the tail-end of 2017.

My old eyesight must be going David . Can I just ask what the top Eufros soaps is called and what scent profile does it have?

The soaps are a LE for the Facebook group, Spanish Shavers and is called Zaldun. Its profile is ylang ylang, patchouli, orange.

The LE sounds lovely David lets me know how you get on with it

I used the soap this morning and it's a wonderful scent. It's based upon the soap that Manuel made in 2012 and has always been my favourite scent from him. Zaldun isn't an exact copy, but it's very close.
Not sure if they are all sold, but I know there were a dozen or so remaining.
