Love this one. Bigger fan of the Lainess collection though.

Lainees is very good stuff
Forgot to post these. Both from the early 2000s, pre the EU ban on oakmoss...
Some old favourites, and some others I've been chasing for some time. The Tuff aftershave is terrific, as is the Acqua Di Genova Cologne.
I already treasure the Calani Oriential Plum pucks I have in the den; delighted to add Classic Havana and Simple to the collection. Truly excellent German shaving soaps.
A few cheeky green soldiers peeking in at the back.

Irisch mongrel bastard!
They look like shaving sticks to me?

@Mark1966 we'll ''think it''but not mention ''anything'' about Vintage Gillettes
.
Very, very, VERY nice set!
If you haven't shaved with something at least 100 years old, have you really shaved?

Merry Christmas gents.
I was lucky to find this one the other week. It seems in great condition and I'm looking forward to use it.
Right before my 2026 sabbatical.

This year for Christmas my father gave me something special.
A straight that belonged to his grandfather.
Whilst I'm unlikely to use it immediately (as I did have a go with one of @rbscebu straights a while back) I would like to learn a bit more about this.
Is anyone able to give me some details on this straight.

Bengalls, by Thomas Cadman & Sons, were popular in Oz, and are almost always exceptionally nice razors to hone and shave with.
