From Jetpens: A Kaweko Student 50’s rock fine point fountain pen. This will be my 4th fountain pen, feels like FAD! From Razor Emporium: A stick of Tabac, a polishing rag, 3 5-pacs of blades: wizamet super iridium, permasharp, astra green. From Stirling Soap: Several bars of bath soap, several wax melts, baker street hard cologne, mosquito repellant, and more of my absolute favorite lip balm, I’ve got 3 now of almond creme. From Ali Express: Some threaded hollow steel posts and some slotted cylindrical steel posts, all 5mm diameter m5 threads at 40mm and 50mm in length and another round shaving stand that comes with a 20mm post installed in it. I replace the 20mm posts in the stands with the longer posts for more stability for my razors with hollow handles.

from Italian Barber: game changer .68 open comb with the bulldog handle, and a 1.05 open comb base plate just recently released! Italian Barber is open for business in the US again! Only for their razors though, hopefully more products will be added soon. still waiting on the Stirling Soap, Jetpens, and 2nd half of the Aliexpress order. just noticed an adjustable razor called ‘The Final Cut’ just released an open comb version for less than 50 bucks that I’m having a hard time resisting.
Y'know, that company I ordered my current watch from sent me an order form for ANOTHER watch.I guess it did look a little better, but I'm happy with this one. Like my current one, the other watch had my initials and birthyear on the thing.
Coming soon in the mail from our Aussie supplier. Limited Edition: Earthy, aquatic scent inspired by rain & petrichor Notes: of bergamot, tea tree, eucalyptus & green florals
still waiting for my OC game changer from IB, ordered 10/10, hope to get it soon. got most of the other stuff but not all. I am loving the shaves I’m getting from my ATT OC Slant ALOT! No high expectations anything can beat this thing although I have been contemplating a Karve or a BlackBird but am holding off on that for now due to $. just put in another order to SS to pick up their Zenith 31mm Boar thats been out of stock forever but just came in recently. Oh and I seem to have picked up a new affliction as of late, calling it AEAD. I keep buying small things from AliExpress, like 3-5 items for under 20 bucks at a time, over and over, and can’t seem to stop. And on and on it goes.
I received the .68 jaws gc today from IB as well as the 31mm zenith boar from SS and had me a nothing short of spectacular shave! Looking forward to my next shave using the 1.05 oc head in this beauty!
Today, I ordered a "Body and Hair Wash" from Imperial. Should work well with their shave soap I like very much. Course this product will serve as a shave prep.
And another one for today-a shave cream from Bill Neumann(Wm. Neumann&Co.) to prepare me for my "Neumann November". I'll be gettting their 1911-which I think is their most popular, as their website devotes a section for 1911 orders(course you can get their other types, too).
