Traded a tin of SV Dolomiti shave soap for a new tub of Truefitt & Hill -West Indian Limes Shaving Cream. See if this cream is as good as all the reviews make it out to me.
Finally got my razors in today, so only one day late is much better than lost! Figured I would share some photos as I had to get some for "before" photos anyways. The wedge has a pretty cool double coffin thats in great shape!
Currently waiting on some things from Italian barber. Palmolive Menthol SC (my first cream in a tube and only second cream ever) Italian Barber Amici SS and AS Proraso AS RazoRock “Problem Solver” Lime Aftershave Splash I'm stoked and can't wait to get this stuff in
Just ordered razorock 26mm synthetic. The monster. Was going to get the Stirling Kong but the razorock is cheaper with the same knot.

Georgetown Pottery G12 Shaving Scuttle. I started growing a beard unexpectedly because of the winter temperature drop, so I felt like a scuttle was a good investment. That way shaving is less miserable during the colder parts of the year. My bathroom gets quite cold. I try to shower in the afternoon too to avoid the freezing feeling I get after I step out of the shower.
I did have to scold her for not realizing my Myrsol Emulsion is nearly out and could have been added to her order Just kidding.... Im rather lucky to have a wife that appreciates and supports my hobby.
Came across this RARE Savile Row brush and had to have it. Finding a Savile Row in Tortoise or Buffalo horn is rare enough but then finding one in a fan shape on top of that is just as rare so one that is in Tortoise and fan shape is a big bonus. Hope it is not too floppy for me. This one is reported to be 26mm by 59mm loft. .
Thanks Mark. I'm in the process of trimming my brush collection down to manageable size but had to have this rare brush.
The gentleman who I bought the brush from was selling his Kent BLK12 at the same time. When I saw that it reminded me of my BK8 which for me was way too floppy and sold off after two uses. My Sevile's are a lot denser than the BK8 I had so hoping it will be along the lines of what I have and not a floppy knot. The gentleman said he felt it was floppy so will have to see if this SR is a relabeled Kent or not. Of all the Kent brushes I think the T series is the best looking of the bunch.
