March 2022 SHAVING Acquisitions

[Gargravarr]

I do. I have 2, not much scent but lathers fantastically.

Aha. Well, scent is always a gamble past a certain age, but the old-timers certainly knew how to make fantastic soaps. It's perhaps a bit sad that there was no requirement to provide a comprehensive ingredients list, and there are vanishingly few manufacturers now upholding the same standards.

I know, but there comes a point where you have to say enough is enough.

Just picked up this lot from an auction and I am so excited. I’d been looking for an English Leather Lime aftershave for ages and I hit a nice motherload here for $140. The original Lagerfeld isn’t bad either for a 70s moment.

Arrived yesterday. All new from the stock I had to leave in the Philippines.

​

Top row are two Titan 1918 ACRO T.H-70 straight razors dressed in African Ebony, bottom left is a Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 and to its right is a Titan ACRO T.H.64, both dressed in Madagascan mahogany. All four are 6/8 Dutch (round) point with half-hollow grind.

This set of four would only set you back about AUD 330 in total, including shipping. They all come with a factory sharp edge so require honing before use.

Arrived yesterday from Maggards. This is an awesome lathering bowl and so much lighter than the Fine Accoutrements one I have been using. Even after using a little too much water last night as I was in a rush, it allowed me to whip up the lather thick enough that I didn't have to start again.

Best of all, the missus likes it enough for me to be allowed to leave it on the sink and not hide it away

A bit of a haul today

- Mergress XL (used)

- Alpha Outlaw (copper, mild)

- Windrose Alum Crytals

- Antiga Barbeario soap

The Mergress is from Razor Emporium but was assembled incorrectly, ie with the marks on different sides…strange. There is also soap scum inside the handle.
