    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.

    RyX DoH!

    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.

    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.

    This is my 2nd RR aftershave in a couple of weeks that the bottle appears to have leaked it or under filled..

    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.
