got my yaqi delivery, first time ordering from yaqi through ali express,
easy process, no issues and delivery took roughly 19 days to the UK

a bang average photo of some of the shaving creams (one balm) I purchased over the last few weeks. Forgot to include the Kanion Classic (smells a tiny bit like florida water) cream from Poland.

I'd forgotten this one was incoming, now this is the last to come in!

Completely unnecessary expense especially with it not being 'genuine' but I loved the set and couldn't resist. Only the head is original, the handle is a modern reproduction.

Couple of acquisitions over last two weeks


Plus a lothur oregon set that arrived from @ATG yesterday! Soap scent is a bit on weak side albeit still nice!

Hermès Terre d'Hermès EDT



I remember trying this for the first time in Boots many years ago and I couldn't stand it. Funny how your taste changes over the years.

My Gillette Black Beauty Birth year razor arrived today. I have been searching for one in the UK for a couple of years now.

Today My

1939-1945

Fat Handle Tech with unusual handle.

Arrived today, I have been after a Tech with the triangle lather holes for a while now and spotted this on the bay.
I brought it for peanuts ( I don't think anyone spotted the lather holes shape) thinking it was a typical fat handled tech but have discovered it's actually a unique Tech from Canada.
Needless to say I am over the moon with it and and should clean up very nicely in my sonic cleaner.

1932 on the underside of the baseplate? Nice catch, mate! Enjoy it!

Can't see as it needs a good clean, I can only see Canada but the weight matches the website.
I will let you know.

Haven’t posted in these for a while. My purchases have been quite minimal, only buying creams, pre/post etc as needed. That said, I have a weakness for a nice synthetic brush. As I haven’t bought one for over a year, and had some money sat in my PayPal account, I thought I’d splash out. The generous TSR discount helped sway the decision and this just arrived from Executive Shaving:



Alpha anodised aluminium ‘Wee Man’ with 26mm G4 synthetic knot. Relatively compact but without feeling tiny. Obviously the weight gives it a satisfying heft, and it feels so nice to hold, and, well. . . just look at it!

I realised whilst looking that I don’t have either an aluminium brush or a red brush, so it was something of a ‘two birds with one stone’ buy. Really happy with this, hopefully it’s as nice to use as it is to hold and look at. Couldn’t see much (if any) mention of this brush on here, perhaps because ‘wee’ and ‘man’ aren’t the best things to search for online! It really is lovely, and much better in person, the online photos don’t do it justice!

I have given it a thorough clean and a sonic bath and can confirm it does have 1932 on the base plate. Have I gotten the identification wrong?
I couldn't find another match on

That's the one - the Canadian patent is 1932. Sold pre-WW2.

Nice one, definitely pays to search generic and put in the grunt work to trawl through everything!
