What shave equipment did you buy today

[Demolition]

I fell off the restraint bandwagon and bought a bunch of stuff during the AliExpress 10th Anniversary Sale:

Brushes

Yaqi 24mm "Black Marble" Silvertip

Yaqi 24mm "Aqua" Tuxedo

Yaqi 24mm "Purple" Mink

Yaqi 26mm "Deep Blue" Timber Wolf

Razor

River Lake Futur clone (matte finish w/10 Dorco ST300s thrown in)

Razor Handle

Yaqi 70mm "Shorty" nickel-plated brass handle

The total cost was about $110, but with the discounts, coupons, and a promo code from AliExpress Blog, the final tally was $45. Not bad!

A brass Zeva DE razor, 5 pack of Astra blades, and a tube of Proraso shaving cream in the blue packaging.

Late last night, but I ordered a 100 blade sample pack from Amazon. 18 different brands. That, a notebook, and pen should help my hunt for my favorite blade. Well, top 5 anyways.

You spendthrift, John!

Picked up an Omega 10005 boar brush and a styptic pencil from my local pharmacy. Brush needs a good wash as it smells vaguely like a pig sty (go figure).

Well, they only had one on the shelf. I could have blown $2.38! And I’m broke after having an exotic unobtanium Italian Lo Storto Originale shipped across the Atlantic. That was a cool $30, right there.

First shave today. Warm shower, Crown Pre Shave, Tabac Stick & Simpson Trafalgar T2. Only needed two passes, WTG , XTG and buffing under chin. Had two weepers, my fault on neck & chin, cured by syptic pencil. Would rate as DFS if not BBS with a little irritation on chin. Used Alum Stick & Stirling Unscented Post Shave Balm. The Hawk V2 mows down the whiskers with the Personna blade. Usually I have to do three to four passes on my neck, but two handled it easily. It’s a keeper! Not sure it will become my daily driver, but easy to use and will most probably be in my normal rotation of razors.

Norhing yet, but I keep telling myself if I place that order in my shopping cart for that 1KG block of Cella, the Clubman Pinaud, and the Ogallala Bay Rum I won't need to buy a single shaving item for a couple years at least......

This arrived in the mail today and it smells fantastic

Ordered a jar of MdC Original today. After this months card statement cuts I think I’m going to be forced into sabbatical by my better half.
