I’m no native speaker, but I’d guess this is the textbook definition of “unfair”.Woot! 2 NOS C.V. Heljestrand MK32’s and a lightly used MK31. They came to me by way of Denmark and they are perfect!

I have a puck of Fitjar Havn, shaving soap. I’m still trying to figure it out, but I think it likes to be bloomed with water. Great scent and the balm is pretty nice.I’m no native speaker, but I’d guess this is the textbook definition of “unfair”.
I got a more modest package with Haslinger Schahfmilch and a sample of Fitjar Islands Fjellheim.
I did a test lathering with the Schafmilk when I got home and was less than impressed with the scent.
The Fjellheim (too little to test anything) is probably the most “natural” scent I’ve ever tried. I’m curious to see how both of them perform.
I have a package with samples of Martin de Candre Rose and Santa Maria Novella from Shavedash “lost between the Moon and NYC”, which I’m really eager to get. Not their fault, but the Brazilian Post Office’s/Customs’.
I’m infatuated by the idea of the MdC Rose. However, reflecting on purchases, and after the Schalfmilch’s test today, my WMF, Mogno and Proraso Red could get me to the end of my shaving days with immense joy.

Yet another brilliant find. You've yet to make a single purchase that hasn't made me wish I'd seen it first.I am not a smoker but I liked the look of this Royal Doulton ash tray. I thought it would make a nice bedside table valet tray for coins etc. but I got a firm 'no' from the wife. So, it will reside in my den for holding spare blades and shims etc. or as a place for my razor and brush while drying after use. Some of the decals are a little worn but a nice piece.

I quite like those Tiger blades. And, unlike some here I've had good results with the Derby as well.
