OK, OK, I've been away, sorry.

Post your cool November shaving purchases here though - with pics where possible!

I’m quite lucky with these wild Aristocrats. This was cheaper than the Superspeed. Can’t wait to see how shiny I can get it.

Should you choose to part with any more of your wild finds plz let me know!

'All things nice'. Spiced sandlewood and honey shaving soap from Whisper in the woods. Great performing soap. Whipped up into a great lather with the badger and then boar. Cushioning and good residual slickness. Great post feel with lanolin like MWF. I get jersey caramel lollies from the scent. The Mrs did well to get this Aussie artisan soap.

Daisho Rose Triumph Set.

Leaving my contact details with vintage shops finally paid off. This is a complete, great condition gold Aristocrat #19 set and an English HD Rocket in an incorrect but beautiful condition bakelite case. $200 cash all up. Obviously these weren’t steals like some of my earlier buys but I’m really happy with what I paid.

Any suggestions what the bakelite case would have originally held?

I disagree - they WERE steals!

Congrats

Not especially cool, but my first buying of excessive razor stuff to try. Plus free gifts thrown in which doubled up some stuff.
I've been declared a weirdo at home already...

A badge of honour! Wear it with pride.

Enjoy the STF.

That H1 looks awesome! I still feel the BEST grade hair from Simpson is the most unique in the market.
It goes beyond density and gel tips, which is what all other brush makers try to differentiate with their knots.

Razor Emporium. They have done an amazing job.
