December 2016 Acquisitions

[TomG]

Well in the last release I was lucky enough to pick up the 26mm lotus Tigris. Thanks to some fast shipping with DHL it's arrived before Christmas. Measures 26.5mm visible width. Can't wait to try it out.

Very nice, @Korbz!

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.

Shave Haul Update: Air NZ found my bag... after about 2 1/2 weeks! Very happy to get this haul back in my possession!

You are getting quite the reputation for receiving some serious haulage, very nice acquisitions!

Late afternoon collection from my Parcel Locker via TSW. Fragrance off the puck is fantastic: Myrtle, Bergamot a hint of Basil and the warmth of Amber, looking forward to giving it a spin when I get back from SA in a few days.

A bottle of Aussie Brut A/S.

The Fat has landed! This OSP Fougere smells pretty damn good too.

The lid of the OSP is cracked, but it was the last one in stock and such a great deal from The Shaving English Shaving Company that I elected to take it anyway. They were a pleasure to deal with and threw in a few Edwinn Jagger products as a courtesy. Great service!

I had a EJ cream sample that I tried yesterday. Used the entire container but do you think I could get it to lather? Nope!? Must be something wrong with me. [emoji53]

From memory EJ samples come with a container of cream and a container of A/S balm. Are you sure you used the right one?

Final Mail Call for 2016. This arrived a few days ago from Portuguese Factory. I do recall seeing a thread a few months ago where someone asked about them. I have now made a few purchases with this company (this one being the largest) and in case anyone is wondering, its all been very positive. Their service is first class (I've experienced both pre & post sales support and they pass with flying colours). I really wonder if there's something in the water around the Iberian Coast, which make them go that extra mile to ensure you're happy.

I have attached two photo's, but all products are from the one order. The Estoril shaving cream was thrown-in as freebie.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone !!

You're not the only one here to have utilised their service and recommend them.
Great service indeed.
