    I would be floored if it doesn't rapidly become one of your favorite razors.

    I wonder what the mods needed to edit out of your post?
    I bought it for £50 + £23 shipping, the original brush sold for £49.95 shipped, so a good deal, all things considered, since that brush has been long out of production, and as far as I know, will never be made again, unless Fido comes out of retirement.

    The Tubby 1 sold for £43, so not a terrible mark up for the brush I thought I was getting.

    As for "quite different from my 2001," not really. The backbone, loft, and hair type are all about the same. It's definitely a product waster, takes three times the product of the 2001, and holds enough lather to shave two grown men. I've grown rather fond of it, though I will probably return to the 2001 soon enough.

    Received a really cool PIF from @aelfred.t.allspa today. The important part of a Razobrite Bath set. It contains my first sample of a tallow soap by Stirling Soap Company. Headed to my shave den to try it out right away!

    I'm glad you got it! I was worried it might crack when I packed it in there

    A very nice haul.
    How would you describe the Arlington scent?

    This came a while back. It's a Gem Contour SE razor. I have never owned a razor that fits so well in the hand. I haven't had this the best shaves yet. I guess I just need to use it more and find the right angle. I think it's new as it still had a card inside the razor head telling you how to place the blade.

    I bought a Weber razor from Tuxxdk. There's no photos as technically my wife bought it for me as a birthday present so I haven't even seen it yet. I have to wait until August. However when the razor didn't arrive alone. Martin very kindly included some items. A lot of items.
    There is a Gem blade dispenser which will come in very handy. A sample soap or De Vergulde Hand.
    A pack of Viking blades
    A pack of Rapira Swedish Steel blades and
    A Star 1912 Razor!!!!
    Thanks Martin it was a wonderful suprise! I do already own a Ever Ready 1912 but they are a bit different. The handles are different heights and I need to weigh them but the Star razor feels lighter and very different. I'm excited to see how it shaves. Once again a great demonstration of the generosity of the members of this group.

    Tomorrow is shave day ... I wasn't graced with facial hair that grows fast enough to allow me to enjoy a daily shave

    Got home and my Van Yulay After Shave Splash was waiting for me. Will use it tomorrow, but dabbed a little on my forearm about 2 hours ago and I can still smell it without raising my arm close to my nose. So far it is as strong as the Terre d'Hermes EDT that it smells like.

    That's either a blessing or a curse. As a daily shaver, sometimes twice daily shaver, I'd consider you lucky.

    Why I am still on the couch, exhibits F, G, and H. The Shave Den Purple Rain, Barrister & Mann 42, Route 66 Twisted Tweed, and Route 66 Samples of A Perfect Storm, The Perfect Gent, Barbershop Hop, and Ghost Town. I got the Purple Rain soap on Saturday and have already used it. My biggest challenge for this week will be which one to use next. Of the Rt 66, I think A Perfect Gent is my favorite scent so far.

    image.jpeg Nice little haul today, the RR soap and aftershave smell great!
    This is my 2nd RR aftershave in a couple of weeks that the bottle appears to have leaked it or under filled..

    Adam @Drygulch put up a sale in the classifieds last week and I nabbed it within minutes. It was all items I've wanted to try! It was the perfect sale for me. The box arrived today with a few extras.

    Barrister and Mann Bay Rum soap
    Stirling Barbershop soap (in silver tin)
    Osage Rub
    Maggard Orange Menthol soap
    Orange Menthol aftershave
    Some Russian steel! 5 tucks of Rapira and Sputnik blades
    (My little sheep were interested in the products!)

    Thanks Adam!

    It also helped make room for inbound goods, but I thought someone on here would be interested.
