August 2020 SHAVING Acquisitions Thread

[Mong.]

I strongly prefer the new Semogue brushes the engraving idea, last for EVER!!

I do like the 'burned in' look of the engraving on the SOC Cherry brushes.

Mail Call today - thanks Whispers From The Woods & AusFarce

I've had this soap on my radar for a long while and thank @StratMan & @SpeedyPC for the reminder as the scent alone is officially my favourite!!! Happy I stocked up on more TSW After Balm as its wonderful post shave and finally big respect for the professional packaging from Alex at Whispers From The Forest - I'll certainly be returning for more soap once I finish this tub!

How do you like the SMELL straight from the tub, before, you start using the soap during the shave.

I recall reading somewhere that the scent was caramel like so when I open the tub I get strong Caramel Jersey smell which is fanbloodytastic!

Sadly I missed out on the Matilda but look forward to testing it out with the next best brush - the TF Customs Holographic Chameleon Malle Burl Hybrid 30mm Rhodium knot. Try repeating that a few times...

One of a kind Charcoal Goods Generation 1 Level 2 razor with a unique Paste & Cut "P&C 2019" engraving on the backplate. It represents the final production run of the Charcoal Goods Generation 1 base plate design and is no longer available (even without the unique engraving). It comes with the matching top cap and a Charcoal Goods Stinger handle, which is the prototype for this handle. The razor has been machined from solid brass and then finished by hand.

Oh, too soon?​

I’ll believe it, when the bidding is over until confirmed by @alfredus.

Well bid good sir and look forward to seeing this one in the flesh at the next Meet Up IF you're lucky enough to win...? Thanks again to Brian from Charcoal Goods, @todras, the moderators & the P&C community as we've created history during this years Charity Auction!

Confidence. I like it! Shame about the other guy, missed it by that much.. Couldn’t help myself, just had to Maxwell Smart it.

Still the weekend left so here's hoping a phantom bidder joins the race and makes things super interesting!?

Plenty of awesome items that I'm struggling to keep up with what's happening and look forward to a weekend of fierce bidding so we can make this years Auction extra special!!!

This weekend's auction has some real grails. I thought I was reallllly going to get that WR I always wanted.

Blackland Tradere incoming (and posted). Will review on arrival. Tossing up whether to shave with the Blackbird or Timeless tonight.

The CFO saw the auction ... and totally supported donations to charity. But drew the line at the going bid.

Took out the Guerilla for a shave tonight in commiseration.

Ordered from Maggard on the 31 July, received 20 August. Maggard is just so reliable - never had any problems

+1 I’ve never had any issues with Maggard Razors, I’m very happy with their service, if, I cannot get something in Australia.
