What shave equipment did you buy today

[FarmerTan]

Looks like I bought a Muhle Rocca R95 (birch handle) in the wee hours from shavin.ie in Ireland. Thought about the whole set but I really just wanted the razor.

The birch handles are the only non-metallic ones that REALLY tempt me. Be sure to post pics my friend, please!

Haven't been able to get a whiff of it yet as the cap is on wicked tight. Don't want to try pliers on it yet. Might run it under some hot water first.

Yes, water should be no issue. That thing may be close to 45 years since it was opened. It will blow away today's version of Old Spice.

Yeah, apparently so as I contacted shaving.ie and had Chris add the matching brush.

Oh, I already forgot - I bought an R41 with the tortoise handle on sale at Muhle Shaving. For $11 more than the head alone, I get a cool handle.

Not equipment, but a dapper Gillette accoutrement. $1.50 at the Thrift Store!

House of Mammoth Hygge Shaving Soap & Aftershave Balm

I recently acquired Hygge soap on a BST. Honest question: does anyone else think Hygge smells like Arko?

Not intending to start a flame war. I used it last night and it is almost indistinguishable from Arko. Just wondering if anyone else perceives a similarity.

It's been a While since I used Arko. So at this point it's hard to compare. But I never has a problem with the scent of Arko.

Just got a pack of Astra razors. I think the last pack lasted me a year and a half. I don't shave everyday, but man, that's some cost savings compared to modern razors.

it's been a while since I bought any new soaps, but figured it was time to catch up.

Found a very good deal on Ebay. Arrived yesterday, new Merkur 34C.

I was shopping today and realized that while I had plenty of cream and a backup can of Barbasol on hand, I was out of cartridges for my favorite handle, and also any of my other handles, so naturally I bought a Van Der Hagen DE (in fairness, I was completely out of DE supplies too).
