and 45 days free storage plus combined shipping means I have to stock up on US gear to maximize savings
Makes complete sense to me "sometimes you have to spend a little, to save a lot" don't know why SWMBO doesn't understand

Mail call today and this soap smells straight from the tub, something like a very greeny forest minty piney smell. Gotta admit smells bloody good.

Never mind the soap, how are you going to mount the artwork on your wall?Mail call today and this soap smells straight from the tub, something like a very greeny forest minty piney smell. Gotta admit smells bloody good.
This label is one of the best, and Noble Otter sets the bar as high as it gets.

Why not? Their artists have gone to a lot of trouble to create those works. It seems to me that you have a (nearly) complete collection, you could celebrate it.

I’m too old for art and doesn’t interest me anymore hanging on a bloody wall, since I was medically retired as a Senior Structural Design Draftsman in AutoCAD and Revit Structure 3D modeling.But you've already got rid of Batters Up... But why not make your display the Best of the Best...
Mailcall from Aliexpress's Summer (for northern hemisphere) sale. Just some Yaqi razors I was curious about, and could save around $12-18 on them. Yaqi Harlequin razor, stainless Mellon (SLOC), and the Fleur handle. Yaqi threw in some freebies, some stickers and a Steam Eye Mask.

It's the tropics afterall, "when it rains it pours" 2 x Gem Junior Bar with blades and stropping tool
Been outbid on a few lather catchers with wedge blades, therefore still avoiding that rabbit hole for now.

Can you use modern GEM blades in that?It's the tropics afterall, "when it rains it pours" 2 x Gem Junior Bar with blades and stropping tool

Yes, can use both wedge and flat blades
@Sticky advised the Junior model introduced modern style flat blades into lather catchers although vintage Gem blades appear to be higher carbon steel for honing and stropping, maintaining the edge
Due to flexibility of the spring and bar to hold the blade in place it can accept both
In fact you can see @Sticky using both in SOTD modern Gem PTFE

Soap: Meissner Tremonia Moroccan Rhassoul Brush: Omega 10083 Razor: S.K. Colling & Co. Lovely shave plus an attempted clean up of the hairline on my neck which resulted in a jagged line and a roasting from Mrs Pbgoose. :) Anyone else trim their neckline with the straight razor?
