Seems that I am the only person who did not receive any freebies with my order of Derby blades :(

Two? Both for you?
I nearly bought a second for "just in case" but I figured the one I have will last and they will both rot at the same rate so it's not like one will outlive the other by any significant margin.

Well. I am assuming that the one in its box will be fine 20 years down the track once this one give up the ghost due to use. But then he practically gave them away. So it was hard not to grab a second

Eufros order landed, around 1.5 weeks with his express delivery.

From sampling the scents certainly an 'interesting' interpretation of a Fougère, and one I look forward to shaving with.

Very nice choices!

I totally agree with you on the Fougère. It's certainly different, and yet so wonderful.

Enjoy the samples too. Manuel's scents are a delightful strength so that even the samples have a good scent. Rosa Bourbon is a favourite of mine.

Mate, where did you get that bowl? Also, how much does it cost?

Tokyo, about 10 bucks

It is a Japanese Suribachi (すり鉢) or grinding bowl - the equivalent of the mortar of a mortar & pestle set. It's ceramic.
If you don't want to fly to Japan (but who doesn't?!), they can also be found in Japanese stores in Australia. (You might be able to find them in India -at least through online stores.)
 
@filobiblic Thanks mate!
I'll check it out next time iI visit as my father broke his proper textured lather bowl and doesn't want a breakable one.
 
Maggard's order on its way...

Maggard's London Barbershop

Stirling Barbershop

Mike's Naturals Barbershop

Soap Commander Honor (Barbershop)

Catie's Bubbles Celtic Knot

Stirling Sharp Dressed Man

Barrister and Mann Latha Oceana

Sample of Black Ship Grooming company Shipwreck Cove

Got a Maggard's 26mm synthetic and some Gillette Silver Blues as well.

On a bit of a quest at the moment to find my favourite barbershop soap. Already have the B&M Oceana which I can't get enough of. Have heard many good things about Mike's and excited to try Stirling for the first time.

Would prefer to shop at TSW so only really ordered items not available here.
 
@3pass did you find anything at Gifts&Care that you could get and you can get 10% off using the paste & cut code: P&C, because I can't find any 10% off code or more at Maggard Razors :(

Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber is worth a look. Comes in a sample too.
