1. Waiting on this little NF Silvertip brush in a handle shape that I didn't already have. Looking forward to it!

  2. Not in. Still looking to a Merkur Progress, Gillette Sheraton, and a modern stainless razor. Fragrances are my current weakness. I couldn't pass this razor up at the price.

    I managed to outwit Darkbulb (hard to believe I know) on this one:duel:
  8. Sigh...yeah...mental note....next time remember the difference between .com and .co.uk

  9. Slow at work so went to retroshaveshop to take another look at the scent profiles and decided to try out two that looked interesting.

  10. Keep us posted @ram57 I can use the feedback to help me with my order. Enjoy :happy088:
  11. I have the bourbon jungle....love it! The scent IMHO is outstanding, it does have a nice staying power but not strong enough to interfere with your after shave.
    It later up real nice....and easy. Great cushion and slickness.
    I think you'll be happy with your purchase....enjoy.

  12. I'm waiting on my first "wosty" it's a near wedge. sporting a 3/4" blade with a pronounced barber's notch.
    but the best part, it's been restored and scaled by our own @HolyRollah

  19. Thanks and I think I'm done with my NF acquisitions for quite some time. The sale was through another shaving forum and a member who contacted me to sell them all as a lot
