Nice haul, I started perusing the stando line-up after I saw it mentioned here the other day, managed to maintain some semblance of self control.View attachment 118224
It was like Christmas today with my mail delivery and completely coincidental.
First up was my newly acquired Vector that was offered to me and comes complete with Stand, Safety bar plate, Open Comb plate and Blades.
I think it's a beautiful looking razor and can't wait to see how it performs.

Next up is my newly acquired Stando rod with spare handle and a Yaqi Excalibur, plus blades.
I had never heard of the Stando Rod before until my post in the forum about the Vector and when this was offered I thought this is opportunity knocking on my door with two great offers in succession and decided to throw it open and grab with both hands.
It was a lovely surprise to find some extras thrown in with the shaving soaps and splash, I do love a good mint soap and one I have not tried before.
The soap and splash will be used today in my S.O.T.D.

Finally I had my new Leaf delivered after my last one broke before Christmas and I finally had the money to be able to replace it. The thorn was on my hit list and threw it into the basket at the same time because too much alcohol loosened my wallet.
(Probably why the wife always pours me a whisky or 4 before hitting me up for new shoes hmmm)
I also grabbed a box of London bridges as I had seen good reviews and a box of Platinum Strangelets super sharp purely Because I liked the box.
Needless to say I won't be buying anything for a good while and I will be busy dialling into all my new toys ha ha
Random one, was the original leaf an actual razor failure or was it bounced off the floor. Just in case you have any issues again Leaf customer services were outstanding for me recently. I ordered one for the Mrs in 2022, roll around to Feb 2024 and the spring had lost some of it's tension so the head wasn't staying upright. Dropped them a line directly and they sent out a replacement FOC 2 days later, just something to keep in mind if anything does go wrong again.
