June 2023 Acquisition

[Chappy]

Why would I buy this product again when I said I wouldn't? My wife presented me with my birthday present early this month (birthday on 29th) in the last 2 pictures. With the reformulation of Tabac and Mitchell's Wool Fat to vegan, Arko was the easiest tallow soap I can get for said birthday present. I just use an alum block to get rid of the Arko smell before using the cologne. My sacrifice for my lovely wife...

C/O Dale. Another one of his excellent leather goods. I wanted something a bit smaller just for a debit card and a couple of notes. Didn’t want a card holder and was after something a little different than just a wallet. Very pleased !

Yes I was tempted to take the ++ plate instead, but I‘ve used a few AC razors that were so uncomfortably aggressive that I just didn‘t want to risk it. Augustin told me the + would give a similar result to a le Maurice 1.4 gap….which would suit me just fine.

I may just use the new razor tomorrow

Yes I also look forward to your views on this razor. I have the SB + plate en route as we speak.

mail call!
I recommend a lot the French site art du barbier, where I buy all my major stuff, always well packed and rapidly shipped!

Exactly the same as if you were to smell an orange fresh from the tree.

Wow that looks lovely - congratulations. That’s the exact spec I’d order too. How much does it all weigh?

Thank you! Took a while but I'm glad it's finally here with me!

It is 95g altogether - the balance point is in upper third of handle (towards the head).
