June 2021 SHAVING Acquisitions Thread

Well as fate had it I had a Gillette case incoming. Even better it's the exact same case for my 1936 aristocrat deluxe that arrived last week in battered/condition. Pure luck.

Today it arrives with gold plating intact for the most part.

BUT the inside velvet is better in the poor condition case I already had.

Quick easy transfer of inner velvet VERY carefully. And now my set looks much better without compromising correct specs.

Quick wipe with jewellery coth and it looks even better.

Getting cases by themselves and swapping the contents to make a nice set really takes it to the next level you know. So a friend tells me anyhow ...

Got back into work today to find these waiting for me. Minora from someone else, everything else from ArtisanArcade.

The Stirling G&T smells amazing. Gonna break out the four pillars tonight.

The Pearl Flexi is well machined. Very heavy relative to what I’m used to, everything turns and fits nicely from first inspection. Unfortunately the red dot indicator on mine is off centre within its space, but @Ozwhisker has kindly offered to exchange it. A small niggle on what is otherwise a quality build for the price.

Ozwhisker also included alum matchsticks and dice for indicating number of times blade is used. So I guess @Razor Burn and @rhodes96 use this? Lol.

Sadly I only have a traditional 6 digit dice so no use to me as I tend to stretch my blades

I need to get me some more Stirling gear and ASAP! ... Maybe next year???

We have dice in 7 colours which will cover you for 42 shaves.

I too received a traditional cubic dice, not that I need a fancy dungeons and dragons dice to count my blade use. ( I am not senile yet)

Defiantly could do with some Intrepid man splash.

Why? the mrs not letting you get any more splashes or she hates it?

No, I think the reason is that although we ordered it for inclusion in our last sea-freight order, it was missed so we have no stock. However, Intrepid Man EDT made it.

No, Intrepid Man's fragrance is a homage to Creed Original Santal. I don't have any splashes or EDT even close to it.

My Mrs uses my fragrances for herself. I expect there will be none when I return home. All good happy wife, happy life.

Never gets ol ...

Hang on, yes it does

 

[Ebonysw45]

These should be all I need since I also use a single edge and straights.

The reason why 100 should do me. Just picked up this lovely pair. A C-Mon and a Duck Satin Wedge. Both have had the shank and tail re blued and some fantastic custom celluloid scales.
