You like your Feather blades, I see

I do but I’d like to get hold of some Polsilver to try too. I have 5 sons that shave too so I expect some to disappear when I’m not looking.

You'll find Polsilvers a lot smoother than Feathers (or just about anything else for that matter). You might also like Nacet, similar to the PSIs, but a bit sharper. I haven't even looked at my Feathers since I discovered Nacet.

Great info and thanks for the heads up @Gargravarr. Yeah I planned to give the Nacets a go but was unsure where to buy the ridgey didge Pols.

My last order was from jablonsky999 on ebay.com.au; certainly not the cheapest now at $35 for 100 blades (I paid less), but he's in SA, so none of the interminable wait on OS orders.

I can send you some Nacets seeing as I have 900+ in collection and Wizamets/Polsilvers when they eventually show up...

That would be great, @Razor Burn , thanks mate. To save you extra trouble and postage, just send when that other item comes in. No hurry, my friend

Will most certainly do and who knows the Wizamets might actually arrive to me by then!

Yeah, don’t think I wasn’t thinking that

A nice surprise this morning. After waiting in Sydney since 21 August, without even making it into AusPost's tracking, this just appeared in my mailbox:

So this just came in the post today. Props to Artisan Arcade, great service and even gave me some small gifts.

I've been seeing all these posts about Stirling from our US buddies, thought I'd give it a go.

The Vanilla Sandalwood smells like Vanilla cupcakes!

Black Cherry is just like Dr Pepper / Cherry lollies. I might get a full tub of it.

Finally decided what set I wanted in the Stirling Auction prize, and had to get the EDT of course!

Thanks to @Ozwhisker - it arrived safely despite a size 12 shaped hole in the top of the box ...

Would nice to see complete photo details on the Astra SS blades, because, I see something has changed from the previous production pack.

Err, if it was a size 12 boot then, despite my packing precautions, you are probably lucky the contents were undamaged. Auspost are off my Xmas card list (they wouldn't be able to deliver it anyway).

Mail Call Today - thanks AusFarce

Your wish is my command mate - see here: http://paste-and-cut.com.au/community/threads/astra-super-stainless.6449/#post-169966

Nice choice of scent @Mark1966

Thanks, was hard to pick but chose based on this review - http://paste-and-cut.com.au/community/threads/stirling-soap-co-sharp-dressed-man.3240/

Maybe it was only size 11!

Top of the box penetrated but nothing damaged as packed VERY carefully as usual - thanks mate!

Ditto here: my little scuttle arrived with lots of dents in the box. Fortunately, the nice people at Captains Choice packed it in a box within a box, and with enough padding to withstand a tactical nuclear weapon blast.

Father's Day haul. Avon scent I DIDN'T own. Avon Mesmerize, my first decanter from the 'noughties'. Never held a Yaqi brush before and blown away by how solid and quality it feels. Beautiful handle and thick 26mm knot. And then Hunting lodge soap.. bay rum/leather and tobacco. Reminds me of a light APR Raconteur of sorts. Tallow based and can't wait to try it . Happy father's Day to all the dads out there.
