Nice handle there. I’m guessing it’s some unobtainium as you always post some really nice high end stuff.
No, no, no!You should tell us which Denim. There are more than 10 varieties.
How many do you own? I own 3, I will add more soon! Which are your favourites Ivan?
It is not how many you own, but how many you have tried. 
Current production: 6 varieties by Conter, 8 by Codaa. 3 of them overlap. Some like the White are discontinued.
I have only tried 8. So far "Tribe" and "1976" seem to be my favourites. There are a couple I don't like. Have at least 2 more to try.

That 1305 is a nice brush for sure. I’ve only used mine twice but it will come back up in rotation before the new year and look forward to it!

Ivan = Zoidberg's personal enabler.
Yes, you are spot on about trying them first! Unless they are bought online, which makes it a bit trickier to do so!

I've had a few strange shaves with the Personna Lab Blue. For the first few shaves, I was left with a fair bit of growth left even after 2.5 passes. Then for the 3rd shave, it seemed to get quite a bit sharper, and today it was at the sharpest, both these shaves were very close ones. An absolutely delightful shave with it in my trusty Fat Handle Tech today.
A great lather with the Omega 10075 and Lea Stick. It might be one of the cheaper shaving soaps I own, but in terms of performance, I think it's performance punches well above it's price tag.
It's really easy to lather, after rubbing the stick on my face, it explodes into a lather with almost no trouble at all, and it's not at all finicky for being hydrated either. In addition, I think it has an excellent post shave feel, probably down to it containing lanolin.
If you're on the fence about picking up one of these new formulation Lea Shaving Sticks, I'd say go ahead and get yourself one!
The Torga C5 is starting to make some excellent lather. The more this brush breaks in the more I like it.
Brick-and-mortar stores here only sell 3-4 varieties. The rest I bought online, but the 2 I haven't tried I can't buy even online. For now...
First time using the little Omega #10077 "Piglet". Worked well, and still stinks of mothballs.
A few shops in my hometown sell Original, Black, Aqua and Musk. They also sell a number of Brut aftershaves as well.
Which ones are you still looking for? I'll drop you a PM if I ever see the ones you are looking for.
Hahaha!No, no, no!
You are right, my friend.
That is the Original!
Cheers!

Ask me about shaving naked!
Decemboar 29th: Hardware was a Semogue Galahad and a Filarmonica 14 Novodur. Software was Strop Shoppe Russian Tea tallow topped off with Myrsol Agua Balsamica.
It is very nice, indeed.
I love it, specially with creams. But, in fact, I find it suitable for everything…
Raw Passion and River are the ones I haven't tried. Not very eager to try the Raw Passion. I see red packaging and that usually means I won't like the scent. Some day the River will appear at the Polish stores like Makeup.
Todays boar of choice was one of the new Vie Long 26mm Bleached Boar (Butterscotch Tulip Handle).
Very comfortable solid resin handle and a fairly dense and soft tipped knot. The only downside is that mine has a bit of a cowlick so it doesn't splay very well (it seems to be an outlier as others haven't had the same cowlick). It's not an issue for me as I am more of a painter and I'm planning on getting another one in 2023 (with a different handle).

The dreaded Connaught Omega Jade boar today. It is coming along but man it takes forever to break in!

Thanks for the info. Both of those can be bought on UK eBay for good prices (£5.49 delivered in the UK), but the sellers don't ship abroad. I'd offer to send them to you, but I won't be able to do so due to Brexit regulations (don't get me started).
MakeUp seems to be a game changer, but I wish they'd stock things like Barbon (even though it's not Polish, but Hungarian). I've been wanting to get the Polish aftershave Consul but it's never in stock!

How's the knot?
Thank you for bringing out your 1972 Tech - that's super close to my birth year and I'd seen others of those with that same handle design. Is that the English one by chance? Those are the 70's tech's I seem to see most frequently.
I've wanted to try this very soap too! I can't believe they are pushing out soap during a war. It's great to hear you're enjoying it, I may have to break down and order that.
