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 tried the cream today. Not impressed with the performance. The scent is impressively "natural", though: freshly chopped pine (for me, at least) - although it didn't "win me". I wanted to try Havn or Slateroy, but G&C had the Fjellheim sample on sale, so I settled for this one. The problem, now, is that, after the lackluster performance, I don't think I'll try either. Just part of the game...

One extravagance and one steal. If there are any flaws in the Aristocrat (no.15)I won't be looking for them. It looks better in person than I imagined. I was hoping the Gem (1922 Triumph set) would be a curved top, which it is.

Yep, I have the Slåtterøy, soap and balm. They smell great, but the performance is not up to par with most of my other soaps. Haven’t decided to open it and try it or get rid of it.
Good luck sir!

I picked up a vintage 6 X 1.5 inch Coticule this afternoon which was decently dished. I cleaned it up with my Atoma plate and it turned out really nice. Very smooth texture.

Today's arrivals
Merkur 34C heavy duty safety razor
Barrister and Mann 42- petunias, Ambergris, Tea and Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster(Lemon Sugar)

I know ..."what do you mean you just got a 34C?" Since when I got back into DE shaving a year ago I started with the new offerings from Gillette, and since the Heritage basically has a DE89 head I wanted to try the other most popular razor in the category.
As for 42... I couldn't pass up the tribute to Douglas Adams and as the packaging reminds us 42= Life. The Universe. Everything.... Now as long as I don't start reciting Vogon poetry everything should be grand.

If it's anything like the Canadian postal service, they sometimes have people work overtime on weekends if there's a backlog in deliveries. Glad it worked out.

A little care package from Spain.

 

[EclipseRedRing]

The box is a bit battered but the contents are unused, a Yardley Black Label talc and soap set - I wish it was shave soap

Today was another early Christmas.

Here's my present (to me) just out of the box, the new-kid-on-the-block:

Then after a shave preparation clean:

I love the Semogue Torga shape, so when I spotted Shavemac's "120" I had to have it. I went with my favorite 20mm knot but increased the loft a tad to 48mm to boost the flow-through.

What is flow-through?

Do read "Scritchnscrub On Scritch, Scrub, Softness, Density, Backbone and Flow-through."

Another Krona and some injectors. Never had a bad shave from a Schick.

Yaqi 2 band badger 24mm Mountain lake handle . I bought it on sale, I have another Yaqi 24mm 2 band(finest badger) and was impressed so at this price it was worth the buy and will be my last brush for some time. I always wanted this handle and so BAD kicked in again.

Have some great shaves!

 

[tehnothing]

Karve razor with c, d, and g plates, as well as wide body top cap and stand. Razor and c and d plate from BST, the rest from karve. Both packages came today. More to come.
