@Scotty did you order this from China or directly from NZ

 

[Scotty]

China.... AliExpress in the 11/11 sales - about $6 or $7 dollars it was - it's OK but not great. Just about to write a report on SOTD!!!!

100 Feathers from Pureman for the Rocnel.

@Bosley82 and I'll raise you 100 Wizamet Polsilvers - 200 Polsilvers from Dublin

Really @Bosley82 I don't think we're even trying. Seeing some recent posts I think we're supposed to be adding a 0 to our purchase quantities of blades.

Your right mate. To me 100 blades is a fair few and will last a while. But when you compare it to some of the numbers that have been thrown round lately 100 or so is just a drop in the ocean.

No pic. Bought a small lot of soaps, Phoenix & Beau Imperial Rum, TOBS Platinum in a Black wooden bowl, Saponifico Varesino Stella in a square wooden bowl.
Smelled the P&B and @SchoolForAnts Red Lead is a better scent for me so the P&B was immediately sold on.
The TOBS was dissapointing. It was supposed to be White pear, Musk, Amber and Sandalwood. I can’t even be arsed to lather it once to see if this opens up, it’s going back up for sale.
The SV looks like being the only keeper out of the 3, for now.

Thanks, I think it's going to get a work out. Haven't tested it yet but it's got a nice feel about it. The HG might get a long rest over summer while I don't need warm lather so much.
