Just arrived from Japan. Chikuhodo SH-2 (water badger) and Koyudo "Men's Shaving & Face Wash Brush" (Saikouhou",the highest quality hair among mountain goats).
Today I picked up a parcel from a participant of the Russian shaving forum at the post office. In the box I found several cans of shaving soap, aftershave lotions and perfume water from the Arab Emirates.
Soap with the image of a raven on the label from the Russian manufacturer KatrineDo. I'll shave with this soap tomorrow and share my impressions.
Some vintage unmarked razors . Seller said they could be Permedge. Is that right? I took a flyer on em cause the price was good. Haven’t used em yet.
Timeless aluminum slant. First impression was…well that’s not much of a slant is it? It does however perform nicely for a mild razor, especially on the ti crown handle. Could be a good travel razor me thinks.
A beautiful Simpson Tulip from B&B member @haggis (it is in MINT condition and a ridiculously amazing Silvertip knot!) also an empty Penhaligons LORDs shaving cream jar with silver plated lid from a longtime enthusiast I have known for years. Finally TWO rather amazing EARLY straight razors from a very nice eBay seller. A pleasant haul on a Monday.
