Nothing too extravagant, just a replacement Wilkinson Sword Classic razor (the black Delrin model), a blade bank, some GSBs, and a pack of Nacets to try.
Well, I went on a bit of a spree on AliExpress with some of their Black Friday deals. Most of it involved "inkwell"-style razor stands, like the ones that I described in this thread. Curiosity got the better of me, so I ordered four different styles, as follows:
"Silver Round":
"Silver Circle":
"Black Thread":
and "Red Square" (inadvertent commie reference):
All of them were in the $1-2 range after discounts, coupons, etc.
I also ordered a generic closed-comb razor head ($1.79) for use in my travel kit. It looks identical to a basic Yaqi head that I saw in an earlier thread in which someone said it was a good performer:
And, finally, to ensure that I got at least one decent item, I bought a Yaqi 26mm Moka Express Two-Band Badger brush (discounts brought it down to $21):
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for the stuff I ordered on Monday from Maggard Razors to arrive. I suspect it'll take a while longer due to the ultra-cheap/ultra-slow International Economy shipping.
One of the brand new scents from CBL, in their new Tonsorial line.
From the website: surprisingly fresh and spicy blend of nutmeg, patchouli, musk and warm woody notes.
I'm super excited to try this soap. I have two others (Roasted Oatmeal Stout and Sir Fougere) and both are great. This one sounds even better, scent-wise. [emoji846]
Bought another brush... An Ap Shave Co 24mm 2Bed with summer handle.
On sale, $15 due to a scratch on the handle and the knot not perfectly centered. Looks quite nice.
"The 2BED knot is named after its characteristics. It looks like a 2 Band Badger knot, hence the 2B. The ED is the extra density this knot carries. You put that together, you get the 2BED knot." Ap Shave Co
