ATT S1 + 100 Feather blades for the OneBlade razor (which I shall attempt to acquire at some stage either new or via a WTB here and/or at TSN).

I have to stress that the service from the folks over at Maggard Razors, LLC was ultra fast and of the highest quality.

Congratulations. In my eyes the S1 is great preformer. Enjoy it.

Which knot is that mate?

Hi Wayne

Are you pleased with your Cadman brush?

Vintage Christian Dior Eau Sauvage aftershave

On board since y'day:

A shavette from the UK (I memory serves well abt $8 from eBay),
The Jinhao 159 NOS in cream/white colour,
A pack of 18 int'l ink refills Diamine "Mediterranean Blue", and
The beautiful Lalex 1938 Triangular (vintage, early '00s).

Both pens exceeded expectations when I put some ink on, but I have to say that the Lalex is just a gorgeous tool to handle and write with.

The Jinhao 159 is potentially my next Chinese. It seems to be getting consistently good reviews.

I find the Jinhao a tad more broad in the nib, just a bit. I think it has a medium and feels juuuuust a bit like "medium plus".
Writing is quite smooth, certainly smoother than a few Watermans and Faber-Castells I have.
Flow is almost there, again of course exceeding expectations.

The Rocnel SE is here, from the UK, thanks to a kind member here:
