Well spotted - I must confess I didn't look that closely!

LOL - you would have had to look very closely I think (like impossibly!). I had the inside running on what it was!

One of the benefits of heading to the UK for Xmas is picking up some goodies without the hassle of shipping across the world. Although, having done a bit of google-fu I've realised that since shipping from the UK is cheapish, and by ordering from Aus I don't pay VAT (19% cheaper), it's more often than not cheaper to get things shipped here.

One items that wasn't is the 1k Naniwa Professional Stone. A steal at £40 (A$70). It's be waiting for me when I arrive.

You can get the VAT refunded at the Airport. It least I could when I was in Thailand.

For me, nothing fancy just picked up some Proraso Blue shaving cream from one of the local Shaver Shops... I am going to use it tomorrow... dang stubble doesn't grow fast enough to play with the new stuff..

Would’ve had more, but Air New Zealand decided to lose one of my bags. Missing about 15 more products, including a Mongoose SE razor, B&M Arctique AS & soap, & a vintage NOS Old Spice shave soap.

Haha, thanks! I just need Air New Zealand to reimburse me for the lost bag!
