Acquisitions July 2023.

I have one of these @Satanfriendly and it's a smashing soap. Mine's one of the wooden bowl type, this looks like one of the (cheaper packaged) later ones. Hope it lands in your trove @NotTheStig

I always like one of these in reserve!

Very wise, Paul. You never know when Pussy Galore is going to fly in with her gaggle of Pilot babes in tow.

Too true Tom, my thoughts exactly!

This arrived today many thanks to @BAW
Also thanks to @jphelan81 for helping me identify the scent, so I knew what to look out for.
I love it and can't wait to try it out.

A Yaqi defect handle Mew Brown, looks like a SynBad but I think the ApSc is a bit of a better knot, but this is decent. One of the better of the ridiculous number of Yaqi brushes I have bought over the years.

A cheap Slim Twist as well. I'm ashamed to say I overlooked this model for it's plastic handle. I'm the chump, it is more enjoyable to use in the shave than my Rocket/Rocket HD.

Not sure I’ve ever had nicer handles than these 2.

A Karve order came through... amazing workmanship. Aluminium Overlander. Really looking forward to shaving with this.

My Mongoose SE Stainless Steel razor came today with a couple of extra goodies thanks to the very generous @jphelan81
I have to say it's by far the heaviest razor I have ever owned, the wife asked was it another WWII bomb like the one that got washed up last month?

I really hope you like it, it’s an amazing razor but certainly a beast!

This acquisition took me over the top on the shaving restraint thread. From the bay, 4 sealed, unboxed Muhle Sea Buckthorn shave soaps. Arrived yesterday, started one today. I purchased one during COVID to get an order above the limit for free postage, and found it a fantastic soap. These 4 were less than £15 including the shipping. Bargain.

Nice! Good to know, too ... I've mulled over the Muhle soaps and not actually pulled the trigger. I will do now. Thank you.

Just over 3 euros.

Not really shaving related but there was a thread regarding this wonderful wax a while ago.
This will last for years, I've just finished my last 200ml tub, it took six years to use it all!
Will be great for any wooden handled shaving brushes amongst other things.
