January 2018 Acquisitions

A bar of Klar Kabinett! Shut The Front Door! How lucky is that. I'm happy for you but green with envy :) P.
I had to google the Klar Kainett soap as I have never heard of it but now I realise how fortunate you are.
Enjoy Nick. :)

Thanks Gents :)

It was a chance trade, and I remember reading glowing reviews of the soap, and when it was offered as a trade prospect, I thought to myself this is the chance to try quite probably the nicest rose scented soap ever available. It was only after agreeing the trade that I was informed it is easier to find Lord Lucan that this soap, something that makes me feel very fortunate indeed.

I have a small amount of it left and you are in for a real treat, it is indeed the nicest rose scented soap and lathers like a dream. You lucky lucky man! :) P.

I have just been reading the rave reviews on the Rose scented soap in particular and it certainly appears to have been a massive hit.
Do you know why it was discontinued?

I reckon I've near half a kilogram of Kabinett as, for some reason, it used to be sold in industrial quantities. Anyways, ignoring pre-January purchases and things on their way, my arrivals to date are a Zenith Euro/X boar brush and 2 vintage Boots sets - one near-mint boxed set with boar brush and English lavender stick (the stick will likely be Yardley and I have an identical brush marked Cusson); the other set marked Monogram with brush, soap and bowl and Contour type handle: again, near-mint - all hardware in brass(?) in a maple(?) wood box. Pics will have to wait, now :rolleyes:

So far ...

Windrose Darwin Slant ... a bit of fun
Maggard Granite (26mm) ... lovely to use with wide-mouth soaps
Prep Aftershave ... straight in the bin! What was I thinking? Balms ...
Floid (Black) Aftershave ... smells a bit like sick. Again, what was I thinking?
GEM 1912 ... a very specific set of criteria for this one and one of the last 1912s I'm after.

I'd take the Prep and Floïd off your hands if you like? :D Been interested in the Floïd black for a little while :p

Mail Call:- Today I received two GEM Micromatic Open Comb

also the Clog-Pruf should arrived at my front door hopefully this Friday according to the postage tracking details.

I'm going to put the GEM Micromatic Open Comb on hold first, because I wanted to start using the GEM Micromatic Clog-Pruf to work my way up the aggressive shave feel since I enjoy the experience of the Bullet Tip

The brush finally arrived, and it was worth the 4.5 month wait!

Wolf Whiskers fluted 'Pi Day' handle with a Shavemac 25x50mm 2 band D01 flat top knot.

I've just given it a couple of palm lathers, and the knot feels very luxorious with great backbone.

I'll probably test lather a couple of more times to get rid of some of the badger funk before using it for a shave.

Have a look on the bst here or the other place and there is someone looking to trade an Irisch Moos for another unobtainium soap. Might be worth seeing if they'll trade part of your block
