September 2022 SHAVING Acquisitions

[Gargravarr]

Polished is the only way to go for me, I like them shiny

have read so much praise on this razor, got high hopes... from my reading the combination of positive blade with small gap is what makes it so efficient and so smooth

Given my own experience with other Blackland razors, I'm certain you'll be more than happy with your new Blackbird. Congratulations

Apologies from me as well @klinker - we would all miss out a lot, if you stop posting pictures here

Actually I had a great night. Now I'm having a bad morning, Let's put it this way, if I acquire any more gear, I won't be posting it here.

Reading through the comments made me think of my own situation...

I grew up in Australia and 6 years ago, I got married to my dearest wife, who is raised in India...

Let's just say the Aussie leg-pulling and tongue in cheek way of communicating is really not appreciated!

and another 300 of these babies.. they are excellent in the Rocca and r41, and according to @nav1 and @neongas a match made in heaven in the Bird

brings the grand total of BICs to 900 for me, and if they are as good as I hear in the bird i'll be adding a few more shortly

Nice!!
Where do you order these in Oz?

This must be the most tasteful presentation of a shaving soap that I've seen.

One day, I'll get off my bum and order the splash. Unfortunately right now post between Australia and anywhere is rather unreliable at the moment.

Nice! That's a really good deal!

I bought mine directly from the official BIC distributor for AU$12/100.
I thought they would have been much more expensive there.

Wowzers I didn't know that P&B are making splashes now as I had assumed balms and solid colognes only?!?!
Great score @klinker

My bad as I purchased my P&B gear locally and the local seller didn't have any splashes available so assumed they just did balms?

I'm currently living in India so postage will make it cost prohibitive...

But if you like, I can get a quotation from the distributor for 1000 blades.
