Congratulations...some serious metal

Congrats! I placed an order for the same razor (aggressive plate only) on Saturday. Hoping to see it shipped very soon!

Some very nice gear, especially the 'holy grail' of DE's, the brass CG Gen 1 Lvl 2... Hope you like the Smart Helix as it seems to have a cult following Down Under

I noticed you post something at B&B - congrats and hope you enjoy the Aggressive plate as its a smooth/efficient shave!

In today's post: 2 more tubs of Stirling Bergamot Lavender (I already have one, but I never want to run out of this, and getting stock seems to be problematic for everybody), plus a bottle of the matching balm...

@Gargravarr We have not had any real supply issues (apart from Boat Drinks for which the ingredients are unlikely to be available this year). As long as we pay the 'Covid-19' surcharge being added by the air-freight co's, we can get most stock in 7-12 days. But just to be safe, you may want to hire 24/7 security staff to guard your Bergamot Lavender.

It’s about bloody time, mail called today after nearly 7 weeks of waiting for my order to arrive at my local parcel locker.

No splash?
I know. I know. Customs. But Petrichor is one of my favourites.

Using one at the moment - nice, and hard to pick up nowadays I believe. Great score

I hear nothing but good things about these blades so I “had” to try them out

Congrats @Holiday as you've scored yourself one special badger brush. I was so tempted myself as I love the uniqueness of the double-ringed handle and the 2 band finest is such a awesome knot! @Tony Forsyth sure does make them special!!!
