March 2021 SHAVING Acquisitions Thread

Was the free shipping part of a promo, or is that normal for ATT? I was 50/50 about this one vs the Alpha Shave Co Outlaw (and got the Outlaw instead).

Not sure about that. It didn’t say anything about being part of a promo, I just clicked through to the end and there was a free shipping option.

Some real beauties there mate. You're support during the streams was greatly appreciated mate! I miss the chats and making fun of @Catmanfan Shaves obsession with all things Green

Once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain an Aussie wet shaving artisans last works.

That pretty much sums it up!

Oh sure, to be sure to be sure.


I wonder if @Catmanfan Shaves went ahead with the special commission ?

No second guessing the colour.

Bit of shaving parphenaia - and a brush that needs a new knot ...
