Post all you new goodies here - pictures are VERY welcome!

@Mark1966 is far to early to start an August topic or are you expecting something coming you're way tomorrow

Well Ausfarce is not delivering now and even couriers would have stopped and the MEL boys have had their meet up - so I figure anything else to come in will be tomorrow!

Early morning at work mail call from @shavetheman

Really looking forward to using the La Toja cream and aftershave having used their excellent pre-shave soap for so long. A couple of extra splashes to pair with existing soaps from different makers too.

Grabbed this at a local vintage shop.

So these arrived today from @Nonick

I love the maggards I think it may be a mainstay in my arsenal. I made a hell of a mess building a lather though, I loaded way too much and it exploded.

The Dr Jon's though, well not sure I like it but I'll give it a chance

Always love a package from the US -



Even if it has had to survive the eBay Global Shipping service -



Contents seem to have survived OK though -

Very nice shoes, where did you order them from? I had difficulties shipping loakes from UK due to restrictions from the manufacturer. Found shoehealer were the only company willing to ship o/s

These were an eBay purchase as 'New without Tags' from an individual in the US. I picked up a used pair of Loakes 1880 Buckinghams earlier this year in good condition too -



I wasn't aware http://www.shoehealer.co.uk/ was selling to Australia still. Most of the UK supplier have been told to not export anymore across a number of brands I believe. I was thinking of using my UK post forwarding service but then heard that they are stopping purchases based on the credit card issuer geo-coding!

The top of the range Charles Tyrwhitt shoes are allegedly made by Loakes - http://www.ctshirts.com/au/mens-shoes/made-in-england/

Of course you can always buy them locally and pay the Aussie tax involved ...

Hi Aggie, that's a good find as H4 was the first manufacture of the "Lady".
Q1: Did you also get the case?
Q2: Sale price (a) to walk-ins, and (b) Forum members?
