May 2021 SHAVING Acquisitions Thread

[nav1]

I have an inkling that WS stick may be out of production; it is not listed on their German website and several European sellers are out of stock. So, I bought another two from VSHOD

The Razorock stick is a freebie

Good move!
I rate the WS stick very highly and I myself have half a dozen sticks on the way to me.

I wanted the handle, and the head was and extra $30 if i bought them as a complete razor.

Very similar looking handle to the Homelike Colibri.

Yep! That drove my purchase, I believe it's a little bigger but lighter, might make for a nice alternative

You certainly have the heavy beard growth shave covered with the D01.

Interested on your thoughts once you have ( cough cough), completed a few shaves with it.

I've heard it's harsher than the R41, which I really liked, so I'm hoping it's a keeper, but I'll keep you posted

I'm guessing it's the norm for new wet shavers to spam the acquisitions thread while they go on their newbie buying frenzy so apologies in advance

My el cheapo shave setup for the sink: soup bowl from Daiso ($2.80) and ANILINARE desk organizer from IKEA ($3.49 on sale) which came with the tall and short tins. Nothing in the tall tin at the moment.

I always keep the pack of blades out of the bathroom to avoid moisture, rust and corrosion.

Good point. Into the cupboard they go.

If you keep them in the bathroom, put them in a sealed tupperware style container so the moisture does not affect them.

If you keep them in the bathroom, put them in a sealed tupperware style container with a desiccant so the moisture does not affect them.

FTFY

Better keep all the blades OUT! of the bathroom and store them in a cool dark place away from sunlight...... Trust me you won't be sorry.

I will humbly defer to the prevailing wisdom of the learned ones

Where is that, in your soap dungeon?
I hope you have a dehumidifier installed and some cosy desiccant bags.

I never stored my soaps or blades into cozy desiccant bags, dumb slug head.

That makes two of us. See @Mark1966 two of the forums biggest soap and blade hoarders and no baggies.

Dumb slug head, I like that response.
