2024 Shaving Acquisitions Thread

[lu20vt]

I actually moved a tub of this along here not long after I joined this forum. Decided to give it another go because (a) my post-shave routine is better now, and (b) I was recommending this Australian soap maker just a few days ago, and decided to put my money where my mouth is. I just love the way Alex presents her work, it's just lovely.

Very nice! No know this brand

Whispers From The Woods is a very small operation - just one lady, Alexandra Woods in NSW. She's been doing it for a few years, but hopefully she won't get tired of it like some others I could mention...

Pre-1945 "Le Jaguar" by Champredon Roddier. They were bought by Le Grelot in 1945 when the war ended. I have been looking to add one to my collection of French SR's for nearly a year. Most of them are either in very poor condition or way too expensive. This one came up four weeks ago (blade only + box) on the French ebay site and I watched it for a week before placing a bid. At 03:30 AEST I was the only bidder and picked it up for $58 delivered.
This week it will get new scales.
