A second (holiday/spare) snmirn

Because they are so utterly forgiving blades wise they are great as a holiday shaver.

Total lark. Could be either pure nirvana or trash can action?

The Amber Fougere and Shibusa 2 are already in my stick, but ordered more as they’re amongst my favourites!

Thought I’d better buy something from Agent Shave before @bluesparkuk bought their entire stock out...

I absolutely love those two identical? sculptures!

Wow I remember those. Is this NOS or are they still in production? Even then the cartridges were mighty expensive.

I think that is NOS. My last cartridge system. And yes, they did start out mighy expensive! I still have an old pack of those. In my opinion, everything that came after this "system" was a waste of time and money for Gillette. Whatever was next was their "Fonzie jumping the shark moment!"

Yes it is NOS, I posted a link in Shopping and deals to the ebay seller (not sure if they have anymore). and in terms of cartridges, again on the bay if you search there is a seller selling lots of 100 of them for... um.. Maybe $30-40? But for 100, I'm basically set for life on those cartridges (they are my "in a rush" razor). Also they still make Sensor Excel handles, but they kinda look closer to mach 3/fusion style handles (and aren't that expensive), I just like this look better.

I bought a crappy looking handle to replace the one I dropped, and it does werk, just not esthetically pleasing.

Received the reason I fell out of last months GRUME

Yaqi Moka Express 26mm 2 band badger

 

[Trem]

A couple of vintage Gillettes that happened to arrive on the same day...

One Rocket and one Red Tip SS.

 

[Ivo4u2]

A shaving Buddy left something to explore

 

[bluesparkuk]

a few parcels today, with special thanks to @SharpieB for my Shaverboy blades

 

[Ivo4u2]

Occam is there and yes clearly a b grade. If you look closely took marks on the guard and the handle opening is not properly centered.
But again it is 49.50 and more important will it shave properly

Starting to have a single edge collection (the katana is borrowed to a shave Buddy waiting on a Yaqi ac50)

 

[GNR]

Update: Yaqi Moka 2 band still turns water brownish and has a little more residual funk. Cleaned and lathered this morning...can’t wait to use it, soft, big bloom, lathers like a champ.
