What do you have in the post right now?

It just occurred to me, I recently picked up a puck of vintage AOS sandalwood. Could it have been made by Valobra?

Doesn’t prove anything online, until the package arrives in your hands, until you see the real deal, everything is a gamble online.

Yes, it could, and most likely was if it's older than ?2021. I'm using a puck of the same that was kindly sent to me by @TomG. It's great stuff. I've given up searching. There's enough sadness on this planet, and there are other soaps. If you still have the ingredients list, it should look a bit like this:

Sodium Tallowate, Aqua, Potassium Palmitate, Potassium Stearate, Sodium Palmitate, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Cocoate, Potassium Cocoate, Parfum, Glycerin, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Cocos Nucifera, Lecithin, Petrolatum, Zea Mays, Tocopheryl Acetate, CI 77891, CI 77492.

This list is for Oxford & Cambridge, so there might be small differences, but you'll get the idea...

Another Stray Whisker Triple Safety Razor and Brush Stand is one it's way. This will be my 7th, I think :unsure: Just a few more and I might be able to store all my razors and brushes neatly :ROFLMAO:

Yay!

Just got the notification (from AusPost of all people) that my new Atelier Durdan Vestige is in the post. Who knows, maybe there'll be a race between me and @Errol as to who gets to review it first... :unsure: :ROFLMAO:

I‘ve received mine. Probably the most innovative design for a razor I’ve seen in years. I won’t be doing a review on it this year but really looking forward now to using it.

Been a while since I've seen a hardware purchase from you mate, are you feeling alright? 🤣

:ROFLMAO: It has been a while, but I thought/hope it's worth taking an eye-wateringly expensive punt on.

When I realised the spine of the blade would be sticking out the back of the head, I was a bit "Hmmm" at first, but the idea grew on me. It's certainly a good way to lose weight. At just 69 grams, it's 8 grams lighter even than the Vector, which is a hell of an achievement. I went for the ++ (supérieur) baseplate. Which did you end up going for?

Yes, I went for the same ++ plate but in titanium so mine is a feather weight. I haven’t weighed it yet.
 
Thanks @JaggardJ Weird, their policy says they won't ship outside north america:

SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS
Products that contain alcohol or compressed air are potentially hazardous for shipping. We are only able to ship these items in the Continental U.S. or Canada. If you are an international customer, these items will be refunded and will not be shipped.

I've had no issues with alcohol-based aftershaves shipped down here from the few retailers that are willing to do it. Sadly, there aren't that many...

The Razor Company. Although now that you have asked I'm less sure about if it will make the final leg of delivery.
I think Aussie is better about this than NZ.
Can anyone confirm?

I receive alcohol based aftershaves all the time from Canada without an issue. If it hasn't been picked up before it's loaded on an aircraft in the origin country, it won't be stopped in Australia as the dangerous part is already completed.
