Acquisitions - October 2022

[Shaveguru]

Yeah they could have at least called it "Missy Miyaqi" or summat. I wonder how long they'll get away with that for.

Not for long if this statement on the Issey Miyake website is anything to go by:

Our company will continue to severely deal with businesses that handle counterfeit items and fraudulent businesses that threaten our customers’ peace of mind and security.

Good luck Yaqi!

I think the soap is actually called Miyaqi - looks like a misprint on one of the soaps?

Misprint, hehehe

 

[hotmetal]

Equally telling, that they can't even spell "artisan". Not sure the 'misprint' excuses will 'wash' with corporate lawyers even on soap (sorry!)


I humbly accept the 10 team points for pretty much guessing what they could have called it though. Bow, flourish, clears throat...

Another One From Rich Man Shaving although this was an ebay buy.

I think we can mount a defense based on misunderstanding - the soap is actually a tribute to the seminal 1984 cinematic enterprise The Karate Kid - and the character therein - the cliche defying aged Oriental sage Mr Miyagi - as to the inconsistency in spelling - cf. atisan - we can put that down to a simple Wades/Giles transliteration error. The legal protection of fictional characters is notoriously problematic. - I.

Amazing brush.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

So another buy from me because since discovering SE shaving I have had a new problem on how do I keep count on how many shaves each type blade has given, as they last a lot longer than my DE's and I do like to switch my razors about depending on my mood.
worry no more with my colour coded counters lol

You're joking?

They work great, I have been using a vintage clicker counter to track my blade usage. (16 shaves so far with my Kai Captain AC blade)

 

[hotmetal]

I'm gonna have to up my AC 'blade use counter' game. Scrap of paper and tally marks... Boring! For DE I just rip one flap off the wrapper, max 4 from a DE.

I'm one of those reckless fellows who doesn't count

With straight razors you'd be at it a long time lol! "well now I got this razor back in '78, and used it every Friday ever since, with 50 laps on leather every time... So that's 2,200 and something!"
