Acquisitions - September 2024

[Dickie]

Seduced by a sample and ended up buying a bottle. Good stuff especially as I can’t tolerate any perfume / alcohol post shave.

Ooh where did you find this?

Ooh where did you find this?

I got a free sample with an order and then after a lot of searching found this on Amazon. £15.61 but it’s a huge 250ml. I thoroughly recommend it. I must also say that Simple’s facial toner - £2.25 for 200ml if you hunt around (I got mine on offer in boots) is also brilliant stuff if you’re after unperfumed stuff with minimal nasties..

I received this today: a Gillette Aristocrat #15. It has a few issues that will need to be addressed, but I'll have my first shave with it later.

 

[Anthorn]

What a shock when I opened the box. 25 single blade / single edge cartridges for the Penny Shaver handle each cart individually packed. Thank goodness I didn't order a hundred. Last time I got something like this it was tea bags. Cost - £9 plus £6 shipping from apshaveco in Canada.

Ball ended Tech, made in England in a Khaki covered box but no visible printing as to where made. Maybe military? I couldn’t find anything on line that would indicate from whence it came. Unopened and unusual blades, Gillette clones?
Any advice appreciated here fellas !

No excuse not to pop one of 'em open and enjoy! You still have a mint in box.

Very true, I did actually open my Featherweight
My Gold plated Push Button Gem is still unopened.

Thanks @brit,I did see that foto on the web but my Tech is “made in England” is the ball end version. Why would anyone swap the Canadian version? I can just make out what looks like part of the GILLETTE print on the lid of mine. There is nothing I can make out printed on on the inner lid. Anyway, like all Techs it will be a very comfortable shave!
