New month must mean a new lockdown, sorry Perth, your turn.

You can still order online though - Show us pics of any shaving stuff here!

These beauties turned up very quickly (11 days) from The Golden Nib.
1 - Silvertip Premium Badger X 24mm
1 - Black Badger X 24mm
Haven't got a plan for them yet but very much looking forward to using them when they've found a handle to call home.

Alpha Shaving Outlaw

Pretty uninspired packaging for a AUD$165 razor. But, CNC machined 316L stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. Some machine marks under the cap and on top of the base plate, but shows me that it is indeed machined. Weighs more than my Muhle Rocca by quite a bit. Thoughts on the shave to come.

Far better to have packaging you don't feel guilty about getting rid of than having to find or make space for rubbish...

I admit presentation is lacking for most suppliers/artisans but I've yet to come across better packaging than from Steve as both my premium brushes were paper wrapped, packed inside a travel tube, and presented inside a lovely bamboo tube.
The closest would be Smart Helix who package the Apollo in a lovely wooden box but they're the exception to the rule...

Any packaging I can dispose of in my worm farm is a bonus. That package looks perfect to me as long as razor arrived safely.

Thanks, when discussing preference the seller mentioned the only vintage Simpson's he really uses are Chubby's

May not be a Simpson but finally have a vintage butterscotch Boar

The seller (IansSoaps) was super helpful and friendly, gave me a fantastic deal for buying multiple and refunded shipping, apparently makes decent soap as well.

Whilst technically not an acquisition per say, my replacement top cap+base plate arrived from the Ukraine and I can't recommend Smart Helix enough for their customer service!!!
The packaging and presentation is unlike any I've yet seen in my brief time wet shaving and the machining puts most premium razor makers to shame!!!

Don’t bloody drop it next time.

Don’t bloody drop it next time.

Luckily my patch job with the original cap is holding so I am keeping the replacement as a spare.

I’ve spoken to your wife, she said don’t worry he’ll be punished, IF, he drop it again.

@Razor Burn You‘re right about the quality of the Smart Helix product and I’m pleased that the razor I recommend is so well supported. One question though. Did the head come in that birch box? If it did, I’m really impressed.

That is awesome and they sent a spare base plate as well. Highly recommend P&C members buy a Smart Helix Apollo to show your appreciation of quality service and product at an affordable price. You won't be disappointed

Agree 1000% @Holiday! Not sure why the need for a spare base plate but I'll happily take it

By the way mate, super jealous of what you have arriving soon...
