This year has gone so ...

... pear shaped?

No matter - show us your shaving acquisitions and all will be well!

Let’s kick off November with a killer mail call... Who would have thought that DHL deliver on a Sunday???

The brush is a B9A+ 28mm in a Dogwood Handcrafts handle.

Whoa, I'm impressed. Love the handle design of the brush and at 28mm is a big one.
I'm assuming from the aftershaves this is an overseas order?

All from the States. Five separate orders all consolidated into 1 for shipping here. Four additional aftershaves were also sent but they are for a mate.

The 3D printed Dogwood hybrid handles look sick.

Blackland Dart with many thanks to @Razor Burn . Looking forward to giving this a run.
And thanks for the blades, you didn't have to do that, much appreciated.
The Dart was not on my shopping list but having a few Blackland razors already I was very happy
to add it to my collection especially at a good price.

Delighted it landed safely and look forward to reading your thoughts in upcoming SOTD posts. Its should look nice with your other Blackland razors.

Best wishes to you and the family mate!

Nice surprise to find my first overseas order waiting for me today. Just a small WCS order, but these will be well worth it. Both very unique scents that make great additions to my soap collection.

Enough is enough though. No more new soaps till I finish at least 2 products!!

We’ve all heard this crap over a thousand times or more ‘No more new soaps till I finished’

Were the blades you sent specifically a suggestion for use in the Dart?

Nah just a few of the bulk stock that I currently enjoy...
I highly recommend the Gillette Rubies as they somehow manage to tame the blade feel... Don't believe I tried a Wizamet but they should shave smoothly...
Happy Shaves!

Make sure the Horse knot doesn’t smell like manure straight from the tail.

I'll break my soap moratorium and grab some Arko. That will fix it right?

 

[Pbgoose]

I really like the look of that. Very interested to hear how it goes. Where did you get that from?

Enough Mystic Waters Jeff's Lavender to keep me going for a long time. Plus Michelle kindly sent some very nice-smelling samples...

She makes fantastic products, and is great to deal with. Can't recommend her enough...

I just ordered it from the thegentleshave in the US.

If I'm not mistaken it appears to be Sold Out but some lovely boar brushes available for a reasonable price.

I think I may have gotten the last of the horse hair brushes, but there are indeed some nice boar brushes. I might have grabbed one as well if I didn't already have one.
