Reuzel Shave Cream
I was at the pharmacy waiting for my prescriptions and found this in the clearance bin. I always liked the guillotiné pictured on the front.
Im glad I looked it up in the forums as it seems it’s one of those latherless, brushless type creams.

Saponificio Bignoli is an excellent cream, I'm always surprised I don't see more mention/praise of it on B&B.

I received another Autostrop cigar cutter today.

I guess I’ll just add it to the rest of them.

It’s been a busy day for deliveries. The postman rang twice today. Actually it was two different postmen.
The first delivery is a Seki Edge toenail clippers from the sword making capital of the world Via Fendrihan. I bought a pair of the fingernail clippers five years ago and they are just as sharp as the day I got them. Snick, snick, snick…

The second parcel are some basics from Top of the Chain.

Everything but the toner in the Timmermann line from Pasteur's. I have tomorrows shave already picked out with Razorock's floïd blue interpretation so this will be Saturday's shave. Looking forward to it. Also a Le Pere Lucien after shave sample as a bonus.

I was looking at a razor much like that one, but with a different name. What kind of blade does that one take? I asked the seller and he didn’t know how to take the blade out or anything about razors.

These use a proprietary blade normally…

…but you can carefully seat a modern injector blade into them.

Please note the gap. This version of the razor doesn’t have stops like the Christy does. I would be mindful if you’re going to attempt to shave with one.

A new to me champaign Starburst K1 courtesy of kcbrett here on the forum. My first BST purchase. Woot. Back ups for the backup of my favorite mentholated AS. Why didn't I buy anymore? Because I couldn't find anymore! I've been excited for this all week...The Vintage Tabac AS with Matching Cologne. Both are unused and have found a good home on my shelf. Not a chip on either, nor a scratch. They will be loved and thoroughly used.

From WildWestBrushWorks on etsy. This beautiful brush is top tier, I think I'm done acquiring brushes for now (probably just jinxed myself) its nice and some weight to it hefty little bastard
Etsy is great for homemade shave gear.

I was tempted by the gents from the Slantember thread to get a Fatip and here she is today. Ordered from Pasteur’s as well as my first boar brush and first Noble Otter soaps. I’m surprised at how stiff the brush is but even more surprised that it doesn’t smell at all. It actually has a faint cleanser/sanitizer scent. Also, I lived in NYC for several years and probably walked by Pasteur’s numerous times not knowing what it was before I knew about wet shaving. Missed opportunity there.

I see you noticed its my favorite knife out of the small collection I got it retains an edge and keeps on slicing n dicing

My first Wolfman arrived from Canada a few days earlier than I was expecting it. WR2 in 1.65 SB config with the WRH2 90mm solid handle and stand. All "basic" polish, but man it shows fingerprints. Really nice looking, although I don't know that I am fancy enough for this razor. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow morning.

I had to post this in full size.

It's from the year and quarter of my folks marriage, a Z3... Got it on the 'bay, and the seller wrote a note enclosed saying it was her FIL's from his attic, and she was glad someone was going to get some use out of it!
That note meant as much to me as the razor, seriously. If this razor has been used more than twice I'd be shocked. There is a cylindrical container I assume is for a shave stick? Also had a money clip and a flashlight with a battery I've not yet gotten out.

And I was the ONLY bidder. Lol, actually forgot that I'd bid on it till I'd won it!
