When I saw Stirling had a soap with the scent profile of Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille I couldn't help myself. Firstly it's Stirling and secondly it's Tom Ford. What's not to like?

Smells nice

Massive haul today, a Rex, ATT S2, R2, Timeless Ti and a Karve.

I'm sure @Nishy said I could keep them too.

Yeah, he told me you could too...I'll have the Karve you keep the rest. Deal?

from the bay - some (at least for me unknown) German bakelite slant razor

I've loved the styling of this razor for a long time.
After a cheeky comment on a thread, I'm now the proud owner of this Pal adjustable, thanks to the very generous Mike B aka @MPF9 . He even included a pack of NOS Schick Super Stainless blades in the deal.

That is just so waiting to be shaved with.
It'll just have to wait till after the 1912 patent anniversary on the 27th January.

I picked up a few vintage Gillette Platinum Plus blades. It has been a long time since I have used any of them, and I thought I'd do an informal comparison of them to my Personna 74 Tungstens, Gillette Swedes, and Wilkinson Light Brigades, just out of curiosity.

Biggest thank you to my friend here who helps me with purchase in the US

1. La Toja Stick- Budget Pack [ 5 ] - Intend to grate some up into a container, to form a cake/puck.

2. PAA Starling SE-Gem, with standard bar & open comb Plate. Cannot be any worse than the ATT SE-G.
Probably will use a heavier handle.

Wow! This took me aback when I took off the lid I can tell you. I wasn’t expecting a tub that looked like the folks down at Stirling had been gotten to by @Steve Bowles and they had sent me the contents of the office WC
The scent however is a perfect Tobacco Vanille copy and smells as good as the real thing. Looking forward to this bad boy.

The colour will be from the Vallinan compound in the scent. Beware that sometimes it can stain natural hair brushes
