just a few things i got in the mail today
Brutal. Nice restorations I can see in your future.
Dr Dulcamara. Im gona try it out. lol. if not ill just pay some one I have already messed up 5 out of 7 brushes. lol good thing they where the not so good one i havent tried to restore my best ones yet, I need to learn how to not jack them up 1st. I suck at this so far. but I think i can do a good job i have a lot of brushes to practice on.
Oh yes. Brush restoration is a vice!
Ordered an Edwin Jagger DE86 today and I am very much looking forward to trying it. 
Met my son from college in Exeter today and popped into the Turkish supermarket on the way.
Result- one Arko cream and one tobacco cologne:

I see a couple of Double Ducks I bid on in that lot of brushes! You will have the craft of brush restoration perfected soon! I like the look of that aluminum Rubberset!
This came today, 20 minutes after I finished shaving. Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow!
It's a 1951 Super Speed. I don't know if it's noticeable in the 2 pics, but this thing is pristine! Everything lines up and it locks up tighter than a tuned sniper rifle. I understand these things offer a mild shave, which is what I was looking for. The blade gap is smaller than my Slim set on one. It seems to be the perfect weight and feels really good in my hand. I can't wait to try it tomorrow with a Personna lab blue and some Stirling orange chill!

This is what was in the mailbox today .
My 40's Gillette Super Speed came in yesterday, along with a generous selection of blades! Quality of this razor is LIGHTYEARS ahead of my Weishi. Shaved with it this morning, and don't think I'll pick up the Weishi again....
Went to the fleamarket in Torquay and cam back with a vintage strop. Nice!:

I received my latest order from Stirling Soap Co. today. 5 full size pucks including Beer and Bacon and 4 samples as well as a couple of bars of bath soap and a tin of lip balm.
Just in!!!!
i know it may seem kinda late but I had to get down to the bare minimum of my supply in order to make this purchase
really when I first started wet shaving,then found B&B I went nuts and bought too many things to try out. whiskers wouldn't grow fast enough for me to dent what I had.over all the time I found that I like the white tub of proraso/pretty much the whole white line of things that they have to offer,also like lemon from the art of shaving~those being my two all time favorites I'm super juiced about the new proraso line I may sound late again to the real proraso users but it's been a long time overdue
Fresh
yes
