Avon Oland 120ml aftershave and soap on a rope, both boxed.

 

[EclipseRedRing]

Two Yardley sets each containing 149g Black Label bath soap and also a Corgi McLaren racing car. I might try to lather the soap with a brush and see how it shaves.

In my excitement to have some quality time with my new arrival I almost forgot to take a pic. I always forget to and miss out on posting in this thread . . . but not this time!

Very pleased with the way this one turned out. Peter at Wolf Whiskers has some mad skills. This with the Shavemac D01-2 band fan.

The Vector has landed. This probably goes without saying, but I'm looking forward to tomorrow's shave.

That's a beautiful razor, with many great reviews (as I'm sure you're well aware.)
I wish you an infinite number of sublime shaves with it !
What blade are you planning on using ? For what it's worth, the Schick ProLine is a
wonderful match with my RazoRock stainless steel Hawk V3.

OK when you decide to sell this one I'm calling dibs screw the sabbatical!

 

[JWCowboy]

Just a few small items from a sale at Italian Barber. These were purchased before my current sabbatical and took about 3 weeks to arrive from Canada.

I wouldn’t blame you for one second!

Awesome! Can’t wait to hear about your shave. Take your time and you’ll be wielding your Vector lather key a Samurai before you know it. Enjoy!

A China box arrived with a lotus fan knot to replace another brush guy synthetic for some badger lathering mayhem

 

[linty1]

Just a cube of Palmira blue that arrived, purchased before Grume:

Does it smell like bourbon or more of a vetiver note?

More a Vetiver and a slight Hint of Bourbon.

You nailed it! A Proline with six prior uses. I posted my results on the "What did you use today" thread.

Nice Nacet.

Are you familiar with kanon? This looks like it's Avon's take on that line. Also, I'd place your Max Factor Wild Briar back closer to the late 70s by the looks of it.

I had never seen or heard of Kanon but it does indeed look very similar with the Scandinavian styling. Not much info on the Wild Briar, it may have been marketed as Royal Regiment Wild Briar in the US.

Yes, it was marketed as Royal Regiment here. kanon is a great scent. I have a lifetime supply laid in; the original product (and even the first 2 reformulations) now sell for 3 or more times the original price; the stuff sold as kanon today has little in common with what I know as kanon, although I think their Norwegian Wood is still a terrific fake sandalwood scent.
