What do you have in the post right now?

[nav1]

Picked up a BBS-AS.
I'm hoping it'll behave like my beloved Merkur Progress!
I feel it'll also work well with BIC blades.

 

[Nanook]

Ordered Oaken Lab Plein Air Shaving soap and splash. I've been keen to try it for a while now so patiently awaiting it's arrival.

A Lupo .72 is on the way from Razorock to join my Tatara Nodachi hybrid and Muramasa.

I also ordered the RR Emperor Aftershave Splash expecting to get a message saying they can’t send alcohol-based aftershaves internationally but the shipping note indicates that it’s in the package.

My other shipment, this time from the UK, is now in Peru according to the tracking (I’m in the Philippines). It shipped almost two months ago.

In the mail now. I'm just hoping that it looks better in real life than the vendor's photos. I can accept the risk.

​

Those in the know will recognise this SR as a post 1923 T.R. Cadman & Sons ⅝ "Bengall" in Bakelite scales. I picked this up for about USD 20 including shipping.

If all goes well, this will complete my "Bengall" M7DS. This set will become my travel set.

The Bengall was a dud . The blade had been "heat treated" and ruined. All is not lost. I now have a good set of Bengall scales.

There is another I am looking at that has a good blade but cracked scales. That good be a good little project for after Christmas.

I'm not surprised, those oxidation colours represent a fairly clumsy attempt at tempering, but I didn't want to say when you first posted that pic. I'm glad you can get some use out of the scales.

Thank to @tullfan and @Gargravarr

Thank to @tullfan and @Gargravarr...

Ah, the next stage of the Hawk V3 road trip. I'll be interested to hear how you get along with the SB version. And take your time, I'm happy to leave it in circulation for a while.

 

[Nanook]

Though it won't arrive until well after Chrissie, I thought I'd get into the spirit anyway.

 

[DougW]

I've got at least 4 boxes of razors, vintage blades, shaving soaps and creams and a book or two all sitting with my friend in the States. Australia hasn't been accepting boxes from America for a while now. Hopefully that will change over Xmas. Oh I also have a vintage Gillette Tiffany razor coming to me from France.

 

[Rhinehoth]

Ordered the Pearl adjustable, Pearl Blaze, Merica and Winning razor. The last two razors have neutral blade exposure and since I prefer neutral blade exposure ……….
I tried to order CG Everyday and CG Level 2 but they’ve stopped shipping here and I don’t like using intermediaries.

Nothing too exciting, some Noble Otter Barrbarr and Phoenix & Beau Spitfire soaps in the mail from B&B.

 

[JVS]

Waiting for my Blackbird to ship

Interestingly, it’s $15 cheaper on the old website:

A Blackland Blackbird and some Saponificio Varesino soaps…

 

[Nanook]

Time to add more to my Blue Devil Stock and after liking my first Stirling soap, it's time to try another.

 

[neongas]

- A pack of Kai Captain Titan Mild to try on the Raster V3
- Robin Razor Snap. It's probably going to be milder than I'd normally prefer (0.45mm gap) but curiosity got the better of me. Takes half DE blades; the first blade going in there will probably be a Nacet.

Interested to hear how the Robin performs. I was very interested but the mildness put me off

I want to know how that black cherry goes.
Had my eye on it for a long time but didn’t bite, some cherry scents can be horrible some amazing.

Always wanted to try a slant, so here goes...

The trick is to apply absolutely no pressure to the razor. I've cut myself more times with my slant than I ever have with a straight razor.
