My Mail Call arrived today, so looking forward to giving each of these a spin :)

Darkfall soap to complete the set via Maggards. Scent off the puck is beautiful agarwood and botanicals & pairs with the alcohol free splash perfectly.

The L&L soaps are superb, the Bison tallow is idea for soap - If you have not tried L&L I highly recommend them and will post a review of the L&L-Chatillon Lux Fougère soap shortly.
 
And my first modern razor has arrived... hello, Prismatic.

A great little razor. I have both this and the original razor it's based on. This is a great homage of a fantastic razor. I pair the Prismatic head with a TSW Bren handle for a superb shave every time.

That L&L-Chatillon Lux Fougère soap would be superb I'm curious to try the L&L - where's the best place to buy it? Direct or Maggards or elsewhere (you selling one [emoji12])?
 
Technically a December acquisition but someone went and locked that thread before I could get to it! Christmas gift from my awesome sister;

Art of Shaving - Sandalwood soap in teak bowl and pre-shave oil.

Never found any pre-shave to actually do anything but I've given it a run regardless. No issues, doesn't do anything. Soap is great though. Ticks all the boxes although I would prefer a stronger scent. Slickness is excellent. I have read a bit of negativity about the latest AoS soap formulation and quite frankly it doesn't hold true for me. It's a great soap for me and I'm very glad to have it in my collection.

Hmm, should we post when we have the item on hand or when we pay for it?
